SMB5888H, the MAN double deck demonstrator made its training run on 16th October 2014
with the bus captains familiarising themselves. The bus is bodied by
Gemilang and is sold under the Lion's City double deck branding, though
the chassis in the vehicle registry indicates it to be an A95. The
signage is unknown though it looks to be Mobitec, but it remains to be
confirmed.
According to SMRT from this post - https://www.facebook.com/SMRTCorpSG/posts/821427307878500
"Hi everyone,
We received a number of queries from bus spotters who asked about a new double-deck bus at one of our depots.
We confirm that SMRT Buses will put on trial one new MAN double-deck bus at the manufacturer's request. The trial will
last a year. This is part of our ongoing effort to test new bus models.
Our commuters have welcomed the addition of double-deckers to our
growing fleet of buses to meet increased demand."
