Datsun366 Turbocharged September 25, 2023 Share September 25, 2023 What would be really cool? Sink the body for diving and create a fish habitat. A shell can be converted to shelter or food at the outlying islands. Imagine a retired bus at Ubin? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All buses belongs to LTA and given to respective operators. These buses likely haven’t due for scrapping Since public transport requires MoF subsidy, these buses cannot be replaced till time up.

Since LTA took over all buses, only scania buses they never given to respective operators and remain to operate by SBS transit only which was bought by them back then. Now all these scania buses are more than 10 years old, think should be fully scrapped by 2028. But funny that now they give some of these buses to SMRT to operate. Thought SMRT majority of their buses are newer bus model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTA buys a few Scania buses from SBS Transit recently and transfer them to SMRT. Don't know why LTA buy scania bus, the scania bus is due to be retired beginning next year.
