1. I heard that the lifespan for all SBS Transit buses have been extended from 17 years to 19 years. Is this true? Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.

2. SBS 1701E to SBS 1710D will be scrapped starting 10 June 2007. The last day of operation for these buses is 9 June 2007. For the last two Scania N113CRB CAC, SBS 3721J and SBS 3722G, the last day of operation will be on 6 May 2009. Is this true?

sbst275 SG

They've alrdy been extended to 19 years but no announcement

Nvm... It shows SBS making empty promises, recently say 17 years... Ask their fellows to take the MK2 Mad

eX.A.K.R. SG

I thought it was extended to 20 years?

Anyway, of you are correct, the last day of operation for the above mentioned MKIIs is my birthday Neutral .

you serious??

TIB1018B SG

Hopefully the B9TLs will be enough to cover for the MK2s Rolling Eyes

Donavan SG

I thought it's only 19 years?

LOL. Coincidence and congratulations to you. The tribute for your birthday eh?

Which year will the following be scrapped ah?

Dennis Tridents DM5000
Volvo Super Olympians (9800A - 9849K)
9888Y itself
9889U itself

With the lifespan extension of SBS buses, will Tibs try to do the same with their UDs?

Is the extension of bus lifespan from 12 to 19 years the reason why Euro III didn't catch on in SG?

SBS9806J SG

When will the SBST MBO405s be scrapped?

The_Bus_Guide SG

The O405s are not given a 2 year extension, as far as I know. They would be withdrawn between 2007-09. SBS 82P lifespan expiry is 01 July 2007!

The_Bus_Guide SG

Since SMRT has put up a tender for 66 new 12m buses, it looks like these will be the ones to replace the UD. If that's the case, then SMRT wouldn't be extending the lifespan of the UD, which are scheduled for withdrawal in 2010.

The lifespan for public buses is still at 17 years. SBST got permission from the LTA for a 2 year extension because of insufficient new buses to replace the outgoing ones. This could be because of the the new ruling which requires all new buses to be Euro IV compliant.

Then where will te SBST buses being scrapped?

Volvo Olympian SG

A place , in defu Rolling Eyes

sbst275 SG

Unlikely

See the $1 COE and the dispute with it Laughing

Aiyah, they want to extend, they can just get it...

sbst275 SG

As for Euro4, it's unlikely

If not, they are having double standards

SBS9888Y SG

Er… Scanias, Mk IIs & MB 0405 scrap… SBST no need run liao… MB0405 – 700 buses… Scanias – 200 buses, mark IIs – 200 buses some scrap alr… looks like SBST has gotta buy at least 1000 buses… with next in line mark IIIs… SBST fleet all old old one

sbst275 SG

The worst, new SDs capacity are no more of like the CRBs esp of 86... Take a look at the CNG buses you would see it's like abt 70 only

Many of the svs I believe the current loading can be like 80% which means abt 70 passengers which is just nice.

Seriously I believe it's a big issue

SBS9888Y SG

its ok fer like those worthless services 45, 58... feeders... but what if those that ply height restricted areas like stadium, airport, henderson rd (trees), lor chuan (CTE bridge) lagi worse

sbst275 SG

58 can be packed on peak hrs and trust me, it would also as more ppl know abt it being a better alt to get to IKEA from Pasir Ris instead of from Tampines

Like for 154, can get new 11m ADDs

For like 145, I believe have to strengthen the fleet when these new gen of buses comes in

Donavan SG

In fact the replacements for the *LO2x by the B9TLs* is overdue.

SBS Transit may not buy exactly 1000 buses to replace outgoing buses, but LESS, because of certain route rationalisation to come for each MRT line that opens, be it major or minor rationalisation.

*typo.

Airbus330Captain SG

Hello . I dont know whether it's typo error or what. Replacements of B9TL overdue ? They are only on the roads like how long ? You waiting for replacements for B9TL ? Sure , wait patiently for another 17-19 years.

I just cannot wait for Mark II , Mercedes 0405 and scania n113crb to be replaced . I have enjoyed the mark II and mercedes O405 (CAC especially) very much , will definately missed them once they are gone. As for Scanias ? dont talk about it. Faster they go the better.
