  Yes, its silver rims. Saw it on 171 two days ago.

  Not sure is painting over or not, but from what i see, the silver is like those on SMB1H when new on 190.

  By the way, SMB101C also got silver rims at the rear.

  TIB500G and TIB741C have silver rims, except the nuts area, where it's still black. And most of the 190 buses are getting their rims painted black now!

  Abit like Scania KUBs and Volvo DDs.

  Or its a trial to comparing with SMRT Citaro rims?

  No lah... About 90% of Service 190's rims are still white, with the exception of TIB634D, TIB1042E and TIB1177A as they were in AMDEP when the buses were painting the rims white.
  
  Some of the perm 190 painted with white rims did cameo... and a few went over to Service 176.
  
  Anyway, the rims are getting dirty... dirt and all... making it look kinda grey.

  SBS8393P is back on 157 with new CPF ad

• Blackerol

  14 Feb 10, 01:46

  I dun think 500G is being repainted but more to changing the rims, cus they wont just paint the front rims but not the rear ones, and those rims kinda look like scanias rims to me. And KJDEP is repainting their bendies rims which 1028Y was white rims previously become black again.

  what to my understanding,

  97B operates around 6am plus

  97A operates around 11.30pm onwards till last bus

  so, i'm puzzled on why 97A operates in the morning & PM peak

  is there a change ?
