[OLD VIDEO] The History of Singapore's Transit Buses Part 3 (2012-2015 and Beyond)

Here is the history of the transit buses that were used in Singapore from 1973 until today. This video will also show a little info on the future about when which bus will be scrapped. Please note: I do not own SBS Transit, SMRT, or the music! Music copyright goes to Marianas Trench.
Updated info not mentioned in the video.
2015:
- After SMB388S's trial was a success, SMRT purchases more MAN NG363Fs (A24).
- Following SMB5888H's trial success, more MAN ND323Fs (A95) have been purchased.
2016:
- Lush Green was voted as Singapore's new bus livery.
- Tower Transit is introduced, the first company to use the new lush green livery.
- Go-Ahead Singapore is introduced.
- SG4001J (BYD K9) demonstrator is introduced, Singapore's first 100% electric powered bus.
- SBS8002T was de-registered sold back to Australia. It will not be scrapped in 2032.
2017:
- The facelifted MAN ND323Fs (A95) were introduced.
- The first 3-door buses, SG4002G (MAN A22) and SG5999Z (MAN A95) enters service.
2018:
- SG4003D (Volvo B8L) demonstrator was introduced.
- SBS Transit acquires MAN NL323Fs (A22) and NG363Fs (A24) from SMRT. This marks the first time in 12 years for SBS Transit to be operating articulated buses.
- The lifespan of the Volvo B10M DM3500s are extended. They are set to retire by the end of 2018.

2016 : Tower Transit and Go Ahead Singapore was founded. All 4 companies changed their livery to the "Lush Green" Livery Chargers were placed in some buses so passengers could charge their phones. 2017 : New bus interior was introduced to Go Ahead Singapore.

[@SBS6578L]

2017: sg4002g (3 door man a22) and sg5999z (3 door man a95) will be introduced

[@frishfrosh8127]

Habits sure do live long .2021 .damn..Farewell to TIB832Z though..

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

Yeah, Habits are the newest among the O405s in Singapore (introduced in 2000). By 2021, no more O405Gs...

[@SBSL-bf8cq]

CRIES I BEGGED TO LTA PLEASE DONT SCRAPPED FOR BENDY BUSES. I LOVE BENDY BUSES PLEASE

[@dedchannel3251]

Add this: 2017 - New Man ND323F 3 door concept goes on revenue service

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

Some updates about SBS8002T, the bus was de-registered back in October 2016 and was sold back to Australia. It will not be scrapped in 2032 as said in this video.

[@SBSL-bf8cq]

FastCarsNoRules220 and Some Man A24 will operate by SBS Transit in 2018

[@SBS6578L]

Fastcarnorules220 2018: SG4003D demonstrator (volvo b8l) was introduced

[@jeatloh3856]

2009: The last R40 (New York City Subway car) will be scrapped.

[@AtinzMizuki]

The WAB buses will not be scrapped as they cannot go into kranji kiat lee, they'll be sold.

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

Yeah, but they'll most likely be scrapped in the next 2 decades when their lifespan has expired. Look at SBS1688K and SBS2888T for example, they're both wheelchair accessible buses and they have recently been scrapped. By the 2020s and the 2030s they'll have to repeat the cycle again, find newer model buses to replace the old ones.

[@rajaniperambur2398]

i am watching this in 2020 and most of the bendy buses are scrapped

[@joleneyip123]

FYI: SBS8030L is retired from renevue service

[@winstonking941]

Looks like MAN NL323F,MAN NG363F and MAN A95 is like lion head,so thats why it is called lion city.

[@alexleo172]

Mistake:The last Mercedes Benz Hispano Carrocera Mark 2 is not scrapped.

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

They're already all retired back in 2017. I think you saw an SMRT O405G Volgren and mistaken it for a Mark 2 since they kinda have a similar shape.

[@alexleo172]

@@FastCarsNoRules220 Thanks 😊

[@MatthiasKoh]

R.I.P to all singapore'sbuses

[@birdwithoutwings6858]

3:57 SBS8002T will be scrapped in other countries since it failed its trial and shipped to forgein countries...

[@Drizzile2744]

No, it will be sold back to Australia

[@user-yu1ue1hg1c]

i dun think Gemilang Low Entry buses can last long.. maybe just 10-15 years...

[@ernesttan8090]

did you use powerpoint for part 1'2 and 3

[@calvinkulit]

The O405G Mk2 is my favourite bus

[@winstonking941]

citaro also can be old for a very long time.

[@ro_cx5]

The 2016 history was right TIB832Z Was Scrapped

[@winstonking941]

Did you took all this picture yourself.If yes,lucky for you,your pictures are nice and neat.

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

Winston G No, I just just got these pictures from Google Images :P But I did try to find the best pictures possible for this video.

[@SMB8037C]

Volvo B9TL CDGEs should not be scrapped, they are so nice

[@cocofano4213]

What is the song and why it is not available now?!?!

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

Irfan Indrawan The song is Desperate Measures by Marianas Trench. Try watching this video on a computer, see if it works.

[@36_snaps]

Nice

[@NuuweiLol]

2:21 I think still here 2:23 still here I Think

[@sbs3908mproductions]

when will smb5889 be scrapped?

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

I'm pretty sure it would be sometime between 2034 and 2036. You've got almost 21 years with those buses, so enjoy every minute of them.

[@sbs3908mproductions]

by the way, it is gemini wright eclispe, not write eclispe.

[@AtinzMizuki]

SMB5889E is man a95 [[production unit]] batch 1.

[@latios5376]

2020s : Automatic Buses

[@hemanlim5487]

i think the first bendy buses scpperd year is on 2014 not 2015

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

TIB838H ended it's service on March 11th, 2013 was was later scrapped that year.

[@SBSL-bf8cq]

you can do 4th for float bus lmao

[@leechan5736]

Why can't I watch part 2?

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

Only available on computers because of the song copyright and stuff, you can't watch on your phone.

[@ggs339]

I think Mercedes-Benz O405G Volgren and Hispano Habit should be swaped

[@latios5376]

BTW you forgot to add this in the video: 2014: the last non-air con bus were scraped

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

bernard wei Actually I think that was 2013, the last non-air conditioned Double Decker was scrapped. But I just put the last Volvo Olympian will be scrapped in 2017. I didn't really put any specific batch or whether or not it is air-conditioned.

[@bertparkerchan]

John doe arent you in roblox?

[@juliachu1897]

ARE YOU SURE THE FUTURE IS CORRECT?

[@jeatloh3856]

my ideas: 3000: the last Wikipedia will be deleted. 10000:the last Ryan's World will be deleted. infinity:The last KZbin will be deleted.

[@jeatloh3856]

2022: the last Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land will be deleted.

[@tib1105hproductions]

How About Volvo B10TL CDGE VSO

[@lamkinfunjoel2742]

Did the the last Volvo bm10 just retired

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

No, the last one would retire probably around December 2017. Says right here: sgwiki.com/wiki/De-registration_of_Buses

[@latios5376]

Are they seriously gonna scrap so many buses until there is no busesnin SG?

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

bernard wei If they do that, then how are people gonna get around Singapore? Trains sometimes break down and taxis are expensive, so of course they're not gonna destroy all the buses. By sometime in the late 2020's or the early 2030's, there will be new buses that will replace the buses that we see today (like the Citaro, the OC500LEs, etc).

[@HambaAllahanakrantau]

2:27 I want to Buy This Bus

[@sandykee2859]

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

+SBS998Y and SBS999U I'm sure SBS998Y is repaired by now. That accident happened way back in January. Both SBS998Y and SBS999U are still working as school buses in New Zealand.

[@user-yu1ue1hg1c]

+FastCarNoRules220 phew thx!! :)

[@RP-jv8xr]

[@mohammedreswan9445]

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

So I'm assuming you were born in 1991?

[@jeatloh3856]

2040: the last full screen will be retired.

[@ngandrew8704]

Question. How did you know when they will be scrapped? Unless you're someone who can predict the future or you're the person who is in charge of the buses which I find Unlikely.

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

I did some research here: sgwiki.com/wiki/Bus_Lifespan_Expiry_Date I also estimated when the buses will be decommissioned, usually a normal lifespan lasts around 17-21 years.

[@ggs339]

No, the buses would only go for mid-life refurbishment when you said they were meant to be 'scrapped'.

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

So far, I was right about SBS2888T and the last O405 Mark 1 being scrapped in 2016 (and this video was from Feb 2015).

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

***** Actually I used to live in SG, and then moved Canada in 2010.

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

That's right, I will visit SG again one day, but I don't know when. Maybe sometime in the next decade, the 2020s.

[@SG6252M]

What does pass it's trail means?

[@seanho7418]

Show abit about the future: Shows what would happen in 2030

[@chenyihong1605]

my favorite bus is volvo b10m

[@SBSL-bf8cq]

AH You think?

[@alanmkes3031]

Is it just one or all the buses?

[@hemanlim5487]

i mean not 2013

[@nsen865]

OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

[@Transportsg1]

I wish tat citaro would not be scrapped leyland olympians and volvo olympians what the difference

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

banker benjamin Unfortunately, all good things come to an end. You still got 17 more years with the Citaro, so enjoy every minute with them. Also Leyland and Volvo, I don't exactly know the difference between them, other than them having different brands.

[@Transportsg1]

when is sbs9989u retired is it together with the non handicap volvo super olympians

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

banker benjamin 2022.

[@SBS6578L]

SBS9889U, not SBS9989U

[@chocomelt5076]

No not the Scania and th SMRT NOOOOO WHY

[@Stargoeswither]

maybe you should make this video 3 years later

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

In case if some buses were introduced between now and 2018, I'll add them in the description.

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

Also if I do make any mistakes of when the buses will be scrapped, I'll fix it with annotations.

[@Stargoeswither]

FastCarsNoRules220 hope the scania k230ub gets scrapped in early 2020s for poor performance

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

Stargoeswither Really? I remember taking that bus back in 2008-2010, I didn't see anything wrong with it.

[@Stargoeswither]

well the seat have thick cushion making long ride uncomfortable and its noisy

[@chenyihong1605]

I saw the last b10m

[@SGGVideos-sb4uz]

2:47 i want to buy this bus
