Some buses in between the regos above have been scrapped

I Have Queries
1) Are they going to be de-registered exactly on those dates?
2) Are the other buses like the MB0405 lifespan be extended?

Volvo Olympian SG

I don't get what you mean , Register on 9 Dec 1988 but Expire 1 day before? Huh? Laughing

SBS9888Y SG

woops Laughing sorry, my error, its rectified

^tamago^ SG

the expiry date is the last day the buses can be out on revenue service…

SBS9888Y SG

actually the mark twos have been really one of the best buses SBST had

SBS9888Y SG

i see... will SBST run these buses till the last day or will it settle on a date to remove all of the mark twos? and close to 1100 buses are going or have been scrapped soon by SBST... how are they going to be replaced?

separate issue: SBS81S isnt for revenue service right?

^tamago^ SG

up to them, but likely most will be out on the last day. Laughing

81S is not for revenue service.... no ez-link card readers i think....

SBS9888Y SG

the MB0405 getting an extension? or 82P gone in a few months?

TIB1049L SG

I heard the 0405s didn't get extension, only the Mk2 B10Ms. So the only 0405s u see on the road soon will be the SMRT ones

Volvo Olympian SG

err , MK3 got lifespan extension? do you mean MK2?

TIB1049L SG

yah - sorry typo Embarassed

Byebye! Mr. Green Laughing

SBS BUSES LOVER SG

oh well they better do something about it or slbp wont have SD Buses running around anymore except MK4's
about 80% of SD buses in slbp are 0405s lol

SBS9888Y SG

and BRBP+AMDEP
(by sgwiki --> ) 504 out of 770+ buses are MB0405... i hope BRBP+AMDEP do not get a chunk of mark IV DMs but even so, at most the mark IV DMs can only replace about 100 out of the 504 MB0405... SLBP has another close to 180+ MB0405 and that is worrying but not as bad as BRBP+AMDEP

choww SG

So will SBS3676G be scrapped soon?

kengkia SG

merc MB0405 gonna be removed?..when?...i love those big boys Crying or Very sad

SBS3625D SG

Seems to me that SBST should be looking into this ageing bus problem soon, 0405s registered quite close to the MKIIIs. Assuming no life extension, 1000 buses disappear in short space of time.

eX.A.K.R. SG

Well... most of the buses that will be withdrawn from now till 2014 were bought during what I call the 1990s Golden Age of New Buses (1988 - 1997), when new buses were brought in in really large numbers for fleet replacement. On top of that, many buses that were considered experimental or unusual during that time were also brought in (the first air-conditioned buses, buses with EDSes, low-floor buses, bendy buses, etc.).

Now, it seems like we are on the verge of another Golden Age of New Buses. This time round, WAB will be the new concept, and I foresee that later on, buses that run on alternative fuels will also be brought in (we already have 12 CNG buses, and with hydrogen and CNG the way to go to replace our dependency on fossil fuels, I don't see why this won't happen).

TWS4793 SG

SBS 0076H is not going to have the two year extension-or say it has yet to get the two year extension? That means it's going to get scrapped soon? I can't believe that fact.

Well, in any case, some buses are going to be preserved. Will SBS 3721J be the one? Will it land up in a museum? I hope so.

service_238 SG

you are talking rubbish. be patient and wait until its lifespan expiry date to see if the bus gets the extension.

As for your 3721J, if you purchase the bus after its expiry date then you can get to put it in a museum.
