actually, I think only the buses registered with the 'SMB'
prefix - the buses SMRT procured after 2007/8 - will get the new
livery.
The buses from Trans-Island Buses will probably not get the new
livery. Even if they need re-painting, they will probably just be
de-registered straight away, or continue operating with the damaged
livery until SMRT replaces it with a new SMB-prefix bus.
Only new buses or those that require a fresh coat of paint will get
the facelift, he said, so no additional resources are wasted.
Repainting all its buses should take between three and five
years.

I guess this means the SMRT bus fleet will be 100% SMB-prefix
buses in 3 to 5 years' time. #justsaying
