      Whic service do you think it will be deployed on? Anyway, I just hope that there will be more seats as opposed to the Scania K230UB. I think a demo plate will be

      SBS<unknown number>888<unknown letter>

      Demo plate?

      not registered yet?

      A search at Lta proves no results


      obviously it is a temporary plate.

      It is too early to decide. MAN has not handed the bus over to SBST yet.

      Why do you think that MAN has not handed the bus over to SBST when it has been shipped to Singapore and painted with SBST?

      1) Register rego plate
      2) Bodywork approval (like what Tammy said)

      I'm second for 145 to get that demo. After all it plies the city area.

      Clearly the standard 11-12m.

      Looks like SBST is aggressively seeking to replace it's buses.

      What's SMRT doing with the 66 buses anyway?Laughing

      Wow! This bus looks good if the rear rims like like those Merz. Nah just joking. Anyway, I hope this bus dont have this 2 wheelchair ramp and to me I think the rego would be SBS8032G (just ti-cum)

      Sin Ming is overall check, exhaust especially.

      Looks like the same as Hong Kong's Gemilang MAN NL273.

      Same sentiments too, hopefully not slbp, cos, if not need to go all the way to the west for demo again.

      Why all the demo look more or less the same?....

      at least 8030 is interesting

      rego confirmed to be either 8031 or 8032 unless sbst decides to reg it as 8988 or 8788 or something.. ha ha..
