    You are lucky to sit in its driver cab. And really nice SG vibes in there. If this was to hit SG roads it could haven been registered as SG4xxxx and as a Enviro 500 3 door demo unit. Nice vid! 0:27 a bit of damage near the back of the bus 5:28 OLD fire engine

    Nice tour of one of those Singapore Enviro 500 buses. I think the Belfast Glider should have had these instead of the VanHool Exqui buses we've got. You get more seats and there is about the same standing room.

    ADL really committed a lot of resource to just getting 50 buses right, even though they know there won't be an option or further diesel order from LTA. They had to be thinking much further down the road with Singapore's future market to spend this kind of money.

    wow interesting i had always thought the showcase mockup was the demo and paved the way for the other 50 units. Im curious i know singapore buses have a lifespan of only 17 years, those 50 in sg are likely to be scrapped when their time comes, not sure abt this prototype. I bet it will be "preserved", if so it would be ironically consider this is the first "prototype bus" to be built and could be the only one left in the future lol😅 Edit: 4:46 the upper deck of that adl bus rlly reminds me of the sg yutong e12dd upper floor as well

    I don't think LTA Singapore wants to order another 50 units Enviro500 3D2S Buses as a Batch 2 unit's because Singapore already stopped ordering diesel buses. If they ordered a Batch 2 Enviro500 3D2S in SG, it would become Enviro500 3D2S electric buses eventually...
