SINGAPORE: SBS Transit is investing almost S$270 million to bring in new single and double deck buses over the next two years.
It said the 300 new award-winning single-deck buses which it has bought will crank up the comfort level several notches.
Known as a through low-floor bus, the aisle of the Mercedes buses is flushed flat from the front of the bus to the back.
SBS Transit said this makes it especially friendly to elderly passengers who no longer need to climb steps to reach the back of other low-floor models currently on the road.
The buses will also have more than 10 priority seats which will be easily accessible by the elderly and the handicapped.
The buses will hit the roads over the next two years, together with 300 new double-deck buses from Volvo.
With the latest purchase, SBS Transit has spent S$854 million on new buses over the last five years.
