  most probably , but let's say :
  
  284 uses Mk 2 fleet ...
  
  then B9TL goes to 284 ? , i don't think so , most likely SBST will buy more SD buses ,
  
  oh well no one knows what the future awaits ! [/b]

  no... B9TL will go to popular service such as 7/12/147/88/80/166 etc etc etc..
  then those SDs (MK III/IV etc) will be redeploy on those MK II services..
  
  think by the time they decide on what SD buses to buy, MK II alrd retired. And then wait till the chasis arrive, Scania is gone..

  theres a wait-and-see approach encik ayam..
  
  why so few bus purchased to replace so many buses..
  in future.. theres CCL.. i guess SBS forsee many services will have fleet reduction.. means excess bus
  so if mk2 and scania all retire, and SBS bring in new buses..
  
  new buses use for 17 years, but CCL opens in 2-5 years.. so many new bus but fewer services dont make sense..
