Now that 7440 burned down, next thing you know SBST will never register a new bus with a '4' in it.
So no more 504X and 54XX buses.
what about 9888?

I should think that they don't have any problem with the digit 8, its just their bias towards 4 that is mystifiying and perplexing. No matter how you pronounce 8 in any dialect there is no way to link 8 to anything remotely related to death.
...but then again who knows? I'm not SBST

SBS buses worth $3 million wrecked in depot fireSIX double-decker buses, worth about $3 million, went up in flames at the Ang Mo Kio bus depot yesterday morning.
Bus drivers arriving for work at the depot in Ang Mo Kio Street 63 were confronted by the acrid smell of smoke, and the burnt-out shells of the smouldering half-dozen buses
"There were so many policemen and firemen around. I was shocked to hear that six buses had been burned...this is the first time I have seen anything like this, " said one 44-year-old bus driver, who arrived around 5:30am.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) is currently investigating the cause of the fire, though it is not known at this point if someone deliberately set fire to the vehicles, estimated to be worth about $500, 000 each.
The SCDF added that the fire was contained within the six buses, as the rest of the fleet was parked farther away. A security guard on duty raised the alarm. No one was hurt.
To ensure that morning services were not disrupted, buses were redeployed from other depots. The six buses all plied on the No. 25 route from Ang Mo Kio interchange to Bedok interchange.
A spokesman for SBS Transit told The Straits Times that the loss of the buses would have some impact on day-to-day operations, but that it would try to minimise inconvenience to commuters by redeploying buses where possible.
A number of bus drivers who spoke to The Straits Times said it was unlikely the buses were torched by pyromaniacs or vandals, as the bus depot is manned by security guards and security cameras at all times. The permises are also surrounded by a brick wall approximately 2m in height, making it difficult to climb other.
Previously reported cases of fire destroying vehicles usually involved only motorcycles and cars parked in public carparks.
The drivers added that it could have been a fault in the electrical wiring of the vehicles that sparked the fire, or even a fuel leak.
The depot houses between 400 and 500 buses, and doubles as a refuelling station for taxis.
The bus drivers usually leave the premises by 2am.
SBS Transit said it was assisting in the investigations.
