And we have someone else here who is lobbying for different bus models to be distributed across operators.
Whatever happened to cost-control discipline...🙈🙈

Standardised 3 bus models is that asking for the sky?.
All 3 model spare parts is available islandwide.

most of the MAN buses go to SBST? only 5 new A95 go to SBST.....

"Most" MAN buses go to SBST meh? Or u mean your friend is referring to some inside info (that I don't know about) that most SMRT MAN buses are going to be transferred to Seletar package?
I feel sorry for your friend.
But then personally I feel this has to do with Woodlands, BPJ and CCK not having enough Shitaros. They should become at least 50% Shitaros for their SD's just like current Yishun and Sembawang.

I think he meant the new MAN DDs and a bit of sourgrape...But like i say,That’s life..Take it or suck it!
Saw SMB8008L with SBST logos doing training along YCK Road this afternoon. It was at AMK Ave 5 and YCK Road junction towards YCK direction. I was waiting for 854 and I thot it was a MAN A24 cameo but it was actually SMB8008L.
Random practice

More facelift A95s going SBST it seems...
They are potential replacements for outgoing Tridents or even VSOs as well.

Most of my BC friends love driving them (In good condition of course). Everytime I look at the post here and I see 'Shitaro', I feel pissed. Respect others if you want to be respected.

You have not been seen for a long while, and the first thing you do when you come out of retirement is to scold me. If you have noticed, I have never attacked anyone personally and in person in any of my posts and nobody has done the same to me. You are the first one.
If expression of opinion is what you hold sacred, what is wrong with me expressing my own dissatisfaction (i.e. opinion) at something?
Before anyone 'adds more gasoline to fire' here (an expression to say to quarrel more), just to let you know that we are just expressing our own views alright. No one can change our own views. So no matter how much we hate others' views, pls remember to maintain our own morales ok. Dont let anyone think that we are a community with low reputation. Lets just welcome criticism as how we do as adults

Best that you don't feed the troll (If you look at his older posts you know what I'm talking about). Still the irony here though...
Are there any patterns to the MAN training. Noticed lots of spotting of A24s at Sengkang area.

Especially 27 routes
Originally posted by carbikebus:Especially 27 routes
Thought you believed they are for 24 - so do you think they more likely to end up destined for 24, or 27, or both?

They train along Sengkang routes where 27 ply..But doesn’t mean they’re for 27.
VVery unlikely for 27.. more likely for familiarsation of A24 and route familiarsation as well too.
Unknown A22 parking inside SBST AMDEP.

24 is more likely to receive A24s

Charles, you definitely are a snowflake. Wasn't that the whole reason why you gave up being the chief moderator of the forum you started from scratch?
Anyway, i'd take the KUB over all the others. Rapid Penang chose them, and it makes me jealous. Ironic because Singapore is so much more liveable than any Malaysian city.
A pity 2888 was the only one of its kind. Dysons in Melbourne had an almost-full fleet of that model.
Wonder if you have been travelling to JB (via 160/170 from Kranji) or you prefer 950 from WDL.

60%A22 & 40% Citaro is enough.I would rather KJ & WL take the SMB plated ones than SBST spec.Coz tbh,I prefer MAN Buses.

For Seletar Yishun I think is 80% A22 & 20% Citaro,A95 should be the newest batch with B9TL from WL/KJ too.
