What is the true cost, there was a report not too long ago 5 buses caught fire @500K per bus at AMK Depot

110 million for 300 Mercedes buses @ 366K per bus
How can they complain of high cost when in the past the mercedes cost more.
500K - 366K = savings of 134K per bus x 300 = 40million
158 million for 300 Volvo buses @ 526K per bus
Difference Mercedes and Volvo is 160K per bus

SBS Transit spends S$268 million on new buses

Bus operator SBS Transit is investing S$268 million to bring in new single and double-deck buses over the next two years.
With the new fleet of buses, elderly passengers will no longer need to climb at least two steps which are part of the aisle of the current buses as the new ones are flushed flat from the front of the bus to the back. It will also have more than 10 priority seats which will be easily accessible for the elderly and the handicapped.
In a statement released on Monday, SBS said it will be paying S$110 million for 300 Mercedes Citaro, and adding another 300 new double-deck buses from Volvo.
SBS Transit Chief Executive Officer Gan Juay Kiat said the latest purchase is part of the renewal programme where two out of every three buses in the SBS Transit fleet will be new.
Some commuters Yahoo! Singapore spoke to welcomed the announcement of the new buses.
Said retiree Paul Lo, 63, ¡°My legs aren¡¯t as strong as before so at least I won¡¯t have to climb up the steps with the new buses.¡±
Another retiree, Doris Tay, 62 agreed. She said, ¡°It¡¯s good that there are also additional priority seats for the elderly on the news buses as most of the time the buses are packed.¡±
Housewife Sharimah Ahmad, 48, hopes that the cost of the new buses will not be transferred back to commuters.
¡°It¡¯s good that they [SBS] are doing something with the new investment but I hope they are not going to increase the bus fares to recover back the money they are spending,¡± she said.
The latest bus purchase of S$268 million brings SBS Transit¡¯s total investment in new buses over the last five years to S$854 million. It will also lower the age of existing buses from nine years to seven years.
What do you think of SBS Transit¡¯s latest investment on a new fleet of buses?
