Like this WLDEP may take in OCs or even Citaros.

I thought SMRT refurbished these Mercs not long ago? If this is true, its abot of waste.

I think by the end of 2010, they will be kick out due to alot of changes made to the bus.
today service 61 screwed up
got notice at boarding berth saying "est waiting time: 30 mins"
I was waiting for it at bukit batok int at 8.30am. 10 mins later after TIB621R arrived, it picked up passenger for next trip... opposite, the next bus that I saw coming is at Jln Jurong Kechil !!! woah, really late

If this is true then i'm happy.We can expected new buses especially Citaros coming in.Think WLDEP will be much affected cause the rego 425-441 is majority WL.For the MUP they should done it when the bus reach 10 years old not in 09.What is refurbish for them when the buses already earn millions during its lifespan.17 years is way too long IMHO.15 years is better.Remember OAC Merc,WA Scania,Hinos,DAFs,Box bendy and MKII Hispano bendy are all Euro 1 complient.To meet exhaust emission required by LTA(low smoke) they have to regularly maintance the buses often.Injectors need to service almost every 3 months for each buses,Can you imagine that?
Hey, any of you seen the HGINT departure dispolay turned on? Currently its off. But one morning I saw it turned on and was quite elated since I finally have a rough gauge when the bus would arrive, but after was quoite sad because I never caught it turned on anymore, even till now. Have picture but no time post for now...

Hmm yeah.True also.I know the the many tough work needed to service the older buses especially in tis time where the importance is in newer buses as they can meet the requirements which the older buses dun have.So i understand y buses lik ELBOs and UDs r being scrapped earlier than expected..
2nd PM peak 518B trip late one hour upon reaching last bus stop in tampines.
Guys, this new china bus company named Futon is selling Hybrid Citybuses to operators here. They have an ad of it in the Classifieds Section of The Straits Times today (4/2/2010).
Anyway, regarding the rumoured redeployments that will probably take place in June, I think that it's a waste to scrap them after they have been refurbished including those which got LAWO Orange EDSes installed like 425R and 426M. It's most probably be ideal to export these good Mercedes buses out of the country and be used in lesser-developed countries.
why alway got rumour about SMRT redeployment? last time someone alrd started a thread talking abt redeployment in early 2010? and now the date change to June 2010?
Bcos the guys i know majority sit inside depot office.But again they tua kang me also.Anyway its rumours afterall,Cannot rely on it.For the 190 case to back single control its true.

The best way is to just watch what SMRT is doing. :) That would have much more fun that knowing it early :)
spotted SBS1955P having its roof ventilation removed & sealed as well as the rear rego plate is now SB 1955P due to the "S" being dropped off..
Both AMDEP and WLDEP should have deployed some of the bendies to 169 (No need to downgrade to rigids as usual in every weekend) instead since today got RPians come back to school for the UT- Understanding Test 3. (I am also one of them)

WLDEP - taking in some citaro or OCs
KJDEP & AMDEP - might be taking in some if not no as there is alot of spares OCs and buses.
