  SBST have chance if they de registered their CNG and some of the euro IV KUB same for SMRT.I doubt this GAS will take unless the SD got usb and auto ramp which LTA make it mandatory for operators to take

  Also notice that the FL A95 back side has two kinds of different styles of black portion at the air con duct. First portion of this batch all operated by SMRT whereas maybe from SG5835m onwards another pattern. Even the die cast model on sale at knackshop follows the latter version too.

  I seriously hope 5835M doesn't perm 71.. it's rly a waste and, quite frankly, an impractical deployment given the layout of the bus..

  Speaking of MAN DD,I'm not suprised if the last 30-40 units will be going to TTS & GAS for the auto ramp and USB things ...If that happens,I'm very delighted..

  Do you guys think the auto ramp will be a success?

  A bit redundant, to be honest. What's wrong with the current ramp, which requires the driver, or the caregiver, to "manually" flip open the ramp?

  The "auto" ramp requires electronic components which add on to the costs. Also, the implementation seems to take a longer time, or about the same time.

  No point incurring additional costs just for that convenience of enabling the wheelchair user to use the ramp on his own without assistance from anyone, when the time is about the same as having the driver or caregiver open the ramp for the wheelchair user.

  LTA where got give BC convenience?They surely will do something that require BC to do extra job.

  How hard is it to just lift the cover and flip it down, and then put it back up again after the process is completed?

  I rather they enhanced all buses with radio Class 95FM..Of course with soft sound

• A22 fan

  Good idea with radio systems in the bus..

  Aussie BCs don't need to do it, furthermore their pay is much better than ours.

  Spotted SG5835M again back to Yio Chu Kang Interchange. Still without the SBST logo at all sides. Maybe its another round of bus captain familiaration of a95 i guess.

  I feel happy for them sia..When will LTA will enforce GAS to use this?

• A22 fan

  9 Sep 17, 21:33

  Only left GA without any MAN...but i suppose LTA will enforce them to use one day. Lets start from A22 to my guess. At least TT and SBS got one A95 while the latter might get more..especially seletar package commerce date getting near plus all the 20 Dennis Tridents are retire bound next year.
