  yup, the Scanias are good. i don't see why the OACs and CACs need to be scrapped when they're still doing well.

  I think its too bad that Singapore Has No Museum to keep one or two buses that have retired... If not we would still be able to see some old buses...

  Yeah, the thought of seeing the Scania N113s vanishing is distressing to you. I just hope some of them can be preserved for posterity, considering they were well ahead of their time in terms of technology. I will miss their quiet engine sounds and fast pace when they take their bow.

  that was then. Now, the engines are facing exhaustion. They are old although its been 15 years? yeah. Sumwer there. The turbo whistle also doesnt sound nice on the bus anymore

  The Scania N113CRB is the quietest bus when they were introduced into SBS fleet in 1989.
  
  Mostly found on BNDEP & BRAM.

  I can't seem to find a better word than scrap. Destroy?
  I am currently trying to take the CRB to my drawing board, so far, already got the MB0405 family and the mkIII.

  A better word is 'Withdrawn' or 'Retirement'.

  The MK II should kena cut first. Scanias can live another 5 more years. Same with Merc (SLBP + BRAM), LO3x. (SLBP, BRAM, AMDEP LO3x, not ARBP ones.)

  Boring to see B10M and the Volvo logo everywhere.
  After O405 die, left 999U.
  After CRB die, left 2888T.

  Of course, there will be new buses that will replace the O405 & CRB in the future.

  SBST heard has poor relationships with Merc. They also want to standardise Volvo. Scanias, maybe can find, but Merc in SBST fleet 4 years down the road? Difficult to find.

  The MB O405 4 years down the road will be hard to find.
