13177 Supersonic April 16, 2020 Share April 16, 2020 Farewell, Volvo B10TL Volgren Buses. Nicknamed VSO, an acronym for the model name Volvo Super Olympian, the batch of 51 buses have been much adored by both bus enthusiasts and the general public alike. Originally branded as “Singapore’s First Low-floor Superbus”, this bus model was well-received for its comfortable interior and low engine hum. A total of 51 buses were brought in with the Volgren bodywork. The last batch of buses (SBS9835A – SBS9849K) last operated on 7 April 2020, and were retired on 10 April 2020 after reaching its statutory lifespan of 17 years. One last Volvo B10TL remains running on the road – SBS9889U. This bus was fitted with a prototype bodywork by PSV International / ComfortDelGro Engineering. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought public buses can operate until near 20 years? 🤔 Think not all this Scania bus will retired, maybe only those which bought in 2007. Anyway, i hate to take this Scania bus, find this bus very jerky and uncomfortable to ride. Faster all these buses disappear from the road better. Lol.
