DAF sooner follow by Hino,Guess by 2013 only the O405/O405Gs is the only old buses survivors.Thats if they start buying new 12 m buses too.Those BUS PLUS bus...

SMRT OC's suspension is poor. Though the aircon is good, it's very jerky and if you take a long distance journey on an OC, you'll feel like vomitting when you alight from the bus.

Scania even more jerky so SMRT should order more Superlions and Citaros~

SBS 6078 M SG

Superlions and citaros more jerky than OC.

Should buy E500 or Solaris Urbino.

SMB145B SG

Superlions and citaros more jerky than OC.

Should buy E500 or Solaris Urbino.

cuitaros ...

KUAs or NUAs could add flavour to the bendies

however, KUA/NUA/KUD/NUDs are only 320 at max. could have better with powerful engines N320UB might only be on par with the A22s which 320 as well

Bye2 Lance. Only 12-13 years of service then it got axed off revenue service.

Especially the Volgren Lances. Very wasted, SMRT should have retired the buses based on the registration dates (so the UMW goes off first, then the DSV, then Volgrens, currently it's the other way round instead).

TIB 585L SG

The Volgren i think only 10 years old. They were the last to get registered and i remember the last time i rode it before it go to TRG. It was still in good shape unlike the other Lances wich got some flaws in some way

SBS9C SG

Actually only 12+ years old. I am not sure about it's condition, because I never got to ride or even see it with my own eyes despite trying so hard. Maybe SMRT should have sold the Volgrens, or if possible re-register to PA-Plate and replace any 2 PA Lance that is in bad condition.

TIB 585L SG

Well sadly its gone bfore the current oldest fleet wich is the Mercs. at least Scanias got 17-18 yrs. Lance if extend for 2 yrs then it will be okay

Gus.chong SG

I had never taken the Volgren Lances so I am not very sure if it can be compared to the UMV and DSV Lances...the UMV and DSV Lances are somewhat like trembling while traveling on the roads like the Scania L113CRLs lately.

DX 2437 SG

2020 full WAB fleet now change oso good wat, new bus old people wheelchair people can board. maintain old fleet for another 7+ years when 2020 got deadline for both those two company must full WAB fleet, u stick to current 17 years now u never made it to full WAB

SBS9C SG

Ya, I know. But what I meant is that since they want retire early at least retire older buses first. Like how they started getting rid of the UMWs, but don't know why suddenly retire the DSV and the Volgren, in the end the UMW outlived them even though they were older by about 2 years and in worser condition IMO.
