Mercedes-Benz O530 Citaro Batch 3

Hi,

I would clarify to you why there are 474 buses for Mercedes-Benz O530 Citaro Batch 2. This is because SBS Transit had undisclosed to use it's 'option' to purchase additional 24 buses under Batch 2. Hence, the actual Batch 2 units last at SBS6865H and SBS6549X respectively.

This is evidence with the large jump in Chassis No. of the respective buses between the two batches as the manufacturer would usually build vehicle/chassis according to the timing of when a operator purchase buses (in batches) from the manufacturer.

[FAQ] What is 'Option'?

An 'Option' refers to the agreement between the buyer and seller to purchase additional buses under the same batch of what the buyer already brought. Sometime, the buyer may actually exercise it's option and get additional buses (usually very few) to be brought earlier. In this case, SBS Transit did exercise it's 'Option' and purchase 24 buses under Batch 2 without announcing.

Just Like SMRT did when SMRT purchased additional 2 buses for MAN A22 Batch 2 making the total number 202 instead of official source 200.

Thanks & Regards
