  Then exchange with their OCs???

  Maybe can exchange this Kinglong and the 2 Sunlongs with SMRT Citaro and MAN demos plus the first OC. That will be a fair exchange and he will be happy.

  I hope that in future these hybrid buses will get cheaper in future and SBST can buy in bulk for the European brands, like the Mercedes Benz Citaro F Cell, MAN Lion City hybrid and Volvo B5L Hybrid double deckers.

  I get to know that ComfortDelgro is trialling the Volvo B5L Hybrid in UK. Wonder how is it???  

  You mean Metroline is trialling that bus....

  I would like the Volvo B5Ls to come in... looks cool also. Bring in ADL E400H also to replace VO2x....

  I think SMRT is the one bringing all the demos.

  They've got a Yutong last year, a Citaro in March this year, a ZhongTong recently and a MAN. 4 in just about 1.5 years... SBST leh? They are buying new buses, not demonstrating new buses.

  Can see that this bus was actually meant for SMRT.. The interior fixtures already can tell... EXIT is also SMRT styled.. Well, it's my own opinion.... But whether this bus would be a success anot, I have no say.
