  1 Citaro near the side gate

  

   1 Citaro in front of the one above

  

   2 Citaros here, one in front of the other

  

   BTW, the EDS seems to be a different unit compared to that of SMB136C's

  This batch 1 Citaros have a different front[Side] compared to SMB136C. It also have a long side EDS. Plus! The open-close exterior door switch is just above the red livery at the left hand side<< of the front door.

  I didn't know cold climate countries do not have dust.

  As long as there is adequate(or more effort) mainteance, defintely it can be clean.

  even if you were legally inside your workplace, that doesn't give you the right to take photographs of private items and posting it online. even if its for your own personal keepsake its still a grey area. by doing so you may be violating your terms of employment or any non-disclosure agreement you may have signed. since you are working at pasir panjang terminal which is a protected place by law you are probably under the Official Secrets Act as well.. so you sure you want to risk your job?

  to cut a long story short, whatever is in private property remains PRIVATE. period.

  Yup, good observation there, the Citaro plug doors are taller. That's because the mechanism (look at smb138y's rear door, the prongs and the rail which slides the door) are hidden on the top of the door instead of being visible to passengers. So to passengers it seems the door is similar to trains, it just slides open.

  The EDS and the plug doors... those are enough to make SMB136C unique already. :P
