Saw about 4-5 striders parking at the laid up corner of BNDEP. One of them is SBS1932E (BNDEP 69) & maybe SBS1929R (BNDEP 358).1915E (ex-BN 3) is still t...

Out of all the Volvo B10M MK IV variants, I prefer the Walter Alexander Strider X ZF4HP500 combo, partly also due to the Strider's striking design as compared to the DM & DM3500 bodywork.

What's yours?

SBS2606R is still spotted at AMDEP lay up corner with ez-link readers removed after de-registration.

Given the trend, they love to kill BR/AM striders

If im not wrong, yes. But it was a month back I cant really rmb now. Most of the striders from AR/BB had gotten new readers and new ducts like 2641M recently.

Ah...yes. Do look out for the rest of the buses as well. I just wanted to correct the information vandalised on SgWiki, because the vandalised information led people to think that refurbished buses were not given lifespan extensions (if I'm not wrong).

Speaking of which, what could be the buses from the last two batches that might not be extended as of now?

SBS 6078 M SG

Yes, 2676M got red ducts. Saw it OS few days back with red ducts.

Gus.chong SG

Thanks for the confirmation. Please look out for Striders and see if they have red or grey ducts, or even if you happen to see one.

2671B with grey ducts confirmed

SBS2656X SG

SBS2674T freshly repainted few days ago. On 107.
