      no mention of new bus to buy yet.

      nissans long way to go. u see if the merc of SBS go, then nissans go

      the CAC ones bought in 1991

      the OAC ones in 1993. assume 18 years regulation then 2009 and 2011.

      tat one not quota, that is SBST own target. SMRT said hardly anything abt buying new WAB buses except that 'oh by the way' kind of mention in the zaobao article

      they feel they can earn more money out of their nissans than putting them on 608, but shifting freed up O405's on chartered shuttles.

      Unfortunately, the Neoplan Jumbocruiser stopped production in 1992. No other manufacturers have made anything like it.

      well i not sure what troll means

      but in children story books, a troll is one that guards a bridge and demands toll to cross the bridge. likely in this case here

      a troll would be one who is seeking attention (not toll) in a forum

      generally if u feed the troll he would ask for more. as wise a troll at the bridge would just ask the poor villager for more n more toll. okaaay read too much children book leow...
