Hi, <br>
Although I also do not know much about buses, here is another different opinion of mine. Since the SMB registered Citaros have a very low chance of being BCM buses, it may be pointless just to include them in the batches. LTA is using the SBST Citaros as BCM buses, in which some of them have gone to TTS and GA-Singapore, and currently SG plated Citaros are being imported under BCM to different companies, but the SMB Citaros remain in SMRT as of now. Since LTA is also using only SBST Citaros and SG plated Citaros for airport services, without the presence of SMB Citaros, it may be more obvious of LTA not using SMB Citaros as BCM. Put the SBST and SG plated Citaros in batch numbers, while the SMB Citaros be allocated the title of "SMB Batch". So here is an idea of my suggested content and titles.
The SMB Citaros should be allocated this page with new and more obvious identifications of the SMB Batch Citaros.
'''Mercedes-Benz O530 Citaro (SMB Batch)'''
Demonstrator--- SMB136C
SMB Batch A--- SMB139U - SMB148T
SMB Batch B--- SMB149R - SMB188C
While for the SBS/SG Citaros, there may be not much of a minor change.
'''Mercedes Benz O530 Citaro (Batch 1)'''
Batch 1 - SBS6000L - SBS6168L, SBS6170D - SBS6176M, SBS6178H - SBS6235B, SBS6237X - SBS6240K, SBS6242E - SBS6244A, SBS6246U - SBS6249L, SBS6251D - SBS6254X, SBS6256R, SBS6270Z - SBS6272T, SBS6275K, SBS6276H, SBS6280U, SBS6281S, SBS6285G, SBS6300X - SBS6341C

Revision as of 21:47, 28 December 2017

To all existing active editor,

I had received feedback on classification on Citaro Batch on my user page. However, I would like to hear the opinion of the editor on how to amend the current classification to suit the actual situation.

The issues to the current classification is:

  • Do the SBS Transit Citaro Batch 2 consist of the additional 24 Citaro registered in 2015 or should it be in Batch 3.
  • As we are transiting to Bus Contracting Model (BCM), the future SMRT Citaro may be leased out. To simplify and standardise information, should we create a new Batch identification regardless of the interior of the Citaro?

Please share your honest opinion below so that all editors could conclude with a common definition of the batches.

opinion

Hi,
Although I am do not really know about buses, but i think that SMRT's & SBS's Citaros should be listed separately, as what it is now. Although they may be leased out in future, their interior specifications bear major differences. As for the on going BCM/GCM, LTA is tapping onto SBS's orders not SMRT's. If we list them as Batch 1/2/3/4 together, It may confuse editors in such a way that they may think that the buses have minor differences in interior/exterior specifications. However, I think that the pages should be renamed such as. SMRT's Citaro Batch 1, SBS Transit's Citaro Batch 1/2/3 to reduce any confusion
Thanks & Regards.

opinion 2

Hi,
Although I also do not know much about buses, here is another different opinion of mine. Since the SMB registered Citaros have a very low chance of being BCM buses, it may be pointless just to include them in the batches. LTA is using the SBST Citaros as BCM buses, in which some of them have gone to TTS and GA-Singapore, and currently SG plated Citaros are being imported under BCM to different companies, but the SMB Citaros remain in SMRT as of now. Since LTA is also using only SBST Citaros and SG plated Citaros for airport services, without the presence of SMB Citaros, it may be more obvious of LTA not using SMB Citaros as BCM. Put the SBST and SG plated Citaros in batch numbers, while the SMB Citaros be allocated the title of "SMB Batch". So here is an idea of my suggested content and titles.

The SMB Citaros should be allocated this page with new and more obvious identifications of the SMB Batch Citaros.

Mercedes-Benz O530 Citaro (SMB Batch)

Demonstrator--- SMB136C

SMB Batch A--- SMB139U - SMB148T

SMB Batch B--- SMB149R - SMB188C


While for the SBS/SG Citaros, there may be not much of a minor change.

Mercedes Benz O530 Citaro (Batch 1)

Batch 1 - SBS6000L - SBS6168L, SBS6170D - SBS6176M, SBS6178H - SBS6235B, SBS6237X - SBS6240K, SBS6242E - SBS6244A, SBS6246U - SBS6249L, SBS6251D - SBS6254X, SBS6256R, SBS6270Z - SBS6272T, SBS6275K, SBS6276H, SBS6280U, SBS6281S, SBS6285G, SBS6300X - SBS6341C

Mercedes Benz O530 Citaro (Batch 2)

Batch 2 - SBS6342A - SBS6508P, SBS6530Z - SBS6549X, SBS6600E - SBS6818U, SBS6822G - SBS6865H

Mercedes Benz O530 Citaro (Batch 3)

Batch 3 - SBS2000M – SBS2004C, SBS6509L – SBS6529D, SBS6550R – SBS6599B, SBS6819S – SBS6821J, SBS6866E – SBS6893B, SG1000G – SG1071B, SG1080A – SG1245S, SG1691L – SG1699R

Thank you and regards.
