  Maybe SMRT wants to 'save' their buses, the fares are rather cheaper than SBST's and SMRT's Trunk svcs.

  This means that there will be more UDs added in SMRT bus fleet

  Seems that the ridership of the CSS608 is not that gd so the reason for it to be withdrawn & most probably the current fleet of CSS buses will soon be part of SMRT Buses with their CSS rego plates still on

  Just a few weeks ago, I saw a packed CSS 608 along Nicoll Highway, seems like CSS608 had made the commuters journey shorter, cheaper and maybe more convinience.

  I doubt it'll be sold to SBS Transit & my best guess is that it would be added to the current SMRT Buses fleet with the SMRT livery
