Actually SBST will face this problem earlier than SMRT, given that they had not purchased any major SD buses after DM3500s in 1997 until the KUBs in 2006.(An...

Too early to say now........ (Especially if they extend their lifespan)

If they extend their lifespan, it would at most only be like a couple of years only.

447C would have to go by around 2014, the max it can give, while the 425R and 426M, would be gone by next year.

There is no minimum requirement on the age of the bus that can serve the cross border services right?

The lifespan of every buses here is 17 years, no more than that.

Non basic bus services, not sure about that.

If the OAC buses are lucky enough, they may get to live until 2014 though, the max it can give, the CAC* batch most probably would go by 2015, If they are re-furbed.

* denotes buses registered after 30 dec 1995

Ic.. Cos 950 is considered cross border... doesnt come under basic services, doesnt it?

Then SMRT can slowly make full use of the Hispano OACs until their engines spoil out. LOL...

Too early to tell for service 950 now. Look forward to see services 160/170 getting their new replacements for the outgoing Volvo MK3s 1st.

Anyway service 950 at most get Volgren Mercs 1st bah, followed by the next choice OC500LEs and the future Citaro fleets...
