Well, all buses in 190 would rotate shift with the BCs every week. So, SMB does not have a permanent timing. A bit tricky to rule out as there are a variety of shifts. As the saying goes, anything could happen.

It finally looks like the OC500LE on the flash webpage on SMRT's Go Green with SMRT webby. White rims. Hope this time round, the white paint goes to the whole fleet.

Wonder when the technicians do maintanience on the black rims, do they have the impression they are dirty and charcoalish? haha

Seen it today (2 August 2008) that SMB1H has white rims as well. Maybe thats why other buses such as TIB476T, TIB514S, TIB543H (suspected) and TIB1226S has white rims.

0790K, 0810L, 0897L also.

Hope AMDEP won't follow the white wheel trend.

technically, SMRTBus now have 3 livery changes. TIBS livery, SMRT livery (black wheels) and SMRT Livery (white wheels).

in the TIBS era the rims are orange, then to SMRT, it is black, then now into the new generation, white rims.

... of e OC500LEs r being built up somewhere, maybe in Malaysia's Gembilang Likely built by Gemilang itself, and shipped over to SG. Btw, it's GEMILANG, not GEM B ILANG

They will come mostly after the Nissans are taken off the road. Most likely within two more months.

TIB790K has got white rims! I wonder if the yet-to-be-released OC500LEs might have this colour for their rims!

It doesnt look like a base coat paint to me. A close up look of the bus rims shows that it has been painted for at least 2 weeks. So its unlikely to be a base coat paint.
