  if smrt decided to buy the Citaro G(O530G) and LTA decided to lift the limiting or banning of bendy buses,i hope they buy this very same bus(only in RHD)

  That's still quite far away. By then the OCs might just be lining up for mid-life upgrading. For we might know Lances be sent to do 950 first after the O405s go.

  
  As for O405, they came in 1995 hence their ROD would be ard 2012 - 2014... if it's 2012, it's getting near alrdy

  It cant be put on revenue service yet. Everything has to be modified to local specs first, then sent to the Inspection Centre for checks.. then depot mechanics test the bus.. do some test run bla bla... get the idea?

  Shit OT-ed so much.

  Am not clear about this, but the 530 in "O530" means HorsePower right? Or is it a contract number like trains?

  nah, not horsepower.

  just like how the O.405's didn't signify they had 405hp..

  i'm not exactly sure what they stand for either.

  Dunno what's so exciting about these 66 buses...in the end, its just another 66 SINGLE-decks. SMRT is seriously not getting around to getting higher capacity stuff are they? Citing facility limits and LTA's stand on bendies are not valid excuses.

  wah like that my family car only got 3hp.
  
  yes i can feel it. it's kinda scary. i wonder how i'm gonna sleep tonight. what if it suddenly appear?
  
  SBS9818A : i recommend getting 40 bike covers, stitch them together and cover the bus tonight.

  I think these 2 points is already giving them headaches. If they somehow can't purchase bendies and buy more rigids, I don't think the massive number of rigids will fit into the depots comfortably. 13 to 15 metre buses may have the bus ending up as an eyesore and "hazard" to many road users.

  My interest in "SMRT gets new buses!!!" will only be generated with the purchase of DDs.

  If facilities are the headache, they still need to start somewhere right?

  Ok, maybe, big maybe, they might be doing something about it, but if that's the case, I'm not aware yet.

   

  Edit: to jay, you want to nit-pick over my usage of terms that had clearly left the void open for DDs and bendies, well, my pleasure.
