This bus come with the additional signal light.... so wonder what is the rego of this bus. SBS503S and SBS536Y are still in service.. so most likely it is 3917L?....and what  is this bus going to be deploy as?

  other ppl in this forum have repeatedly said the b9s are fleet addition. If there's no fleet addition there wont be so many new services and QoS would take a long time to fulfill due to procurement of new buses.

  Question to ask:

  Why only the refurbished buses (shiny rims, repainted interiors, changing of seat covers etc...) are approved to extend the lifespan to maximum of 19 years whereas the unrefurbished buses are not (must go off once they reach 17 years)?

  Because they only refurbish when they want to extend the lifespan...?

  Those buses that wants to go by 17 years, or before their lifespan, Must have issues that can't be solved, that's why they want that out.
