SBS9401T has not yet been given a lifespan extension...most likely it will get 2 years extension together with some of the August batches that may be getting 6 months extension.

are buses extended because the buses really do not have enough buses or they just want more buses to strengthen route frequency/cope with excessive passenger demand

I think it is like the second point as you said...SBS Transit should somehow already gotten more than enough buses during the first half of 2012.

Another 18 buses to go by end of August if SBS Transit won't want to give them further extensions (AC buses only).

Yes, but sometimes I also get the information from fellow enthusiasts, except that I would check first in case any of them make any mistakes.

It's at the first post of this thread...I have been making edits all along.

It seems like SBST has already given up on its VO2x NAC. Only 6 buses in operation, most on SP. 2/6 will de-register in a month.

Nope. SBS Transit would have extended it in July if they wanted to, whereas some buses from the September batches had been given extensions
