Interested in the demise of the CRBs and mkIIs?

SBS3624G SG

For fans of these buses (including me) , this is not to encourage joy in the demise of these buses.

Well, everybody knows that the mkIIs and CRBs will leave us soon, now who will take their places. As these buses number up to 400 or so, SBST will have to find replacements to fill the vaccum, agreed? Who will take their places?

Well, for me, I do not mind seeing artic. buses, but I doubt that SBST will purchase them.

In my opinion:
SBST > DDs
TIBS(SMRTB) > Bendies

it’s very likely that the 200-odd Mark II’s are going to be replaced by 100 O.500LE-CNG’s. dun fret, there are more than 200 spare buses for sbst to deploy around.

SBS3624G SG

I think this buses will cost a bomb.

sbst275 SG

How there can be 200 spare buses? So many buses cut after the cut on deployments?

SBS3624G SG

Maybe these buses are moving spare parts for the others.

The sooner the Mk IIs go, the better. I am sick of looking at them. As for the CRBs, they could do better if preserved. They beat the Mk IIs hands down. These are the Queen of SBST fleet.

Who is the King then? Mr. Green

VO3X 92/93 series.

But overall, it is SMRT's Habit bendy that is the best. Laughing

It is most prone to fire, the Habit

Any evidence to back your words?

This year, a Sv 903 bus got burnt at Marsiling... Others was last year... The only SBS bus was burnt was the MK4 at Chinatown. It also became a debate on the parliment on the safety of bendies

BluBlur SG

Yup that was 1110S, on my neighbourhood feeder.

Other than that I don't think there are Habit buses that caught fire. It's distributed among the Scania, DAFs and MB itself.

SBS 71X burnt down in 1995, Sv. 16
A Mk IV DM burnt down on Sv. 33 at Chinatown in 1998/1999.
A Sv. 83 B10M Mk II burnt down at Punggol in 2002/2003.

leeJZ SG

Also I think a Strider got burnt returning to bbdep the past few months, I think it was SBS 1921 L?

A number of DAFs have been scrapped due to fire. But this thread seems to be turning into one for discussing about burnt buses. I wonder what happened to the thread for discussing about buses scrapped due to fires.

Just when I had a second chance in taking one of the CRBs on 101, I ended up taking 200R, aaaiiiii, even though I love them and even manamed myself after one of them, I conclude that I have no affinity with them.
