Do you think they are those Volvo Olympians from the December batches onwards that are awaiting de-registrations?
On a side note, who can identify those Volvo Olympians that have been missing from the roads for a long time except those NACs and confirmed not to be given extensions?

Spotted 9227E being towed to scrapyard this morning. They sure do take their time stripping the bus of important parts.

Very soon it will be the time for the 4 NACs to declare official de-registration.

But it will still be de-registered within the next three days.

Just now, a European lady asked me if there's any non-air conditioned buses as she pointed at this portion on the bus stop panel.
She didn't want to pay the wrong fare and was surprised when I replied there's no more, apparently all retired. She replied "What a pity, I would love to try riding on one".
Yeah and LTA should probably go to all the bus stops to update the fare structure as well to remove the NAC references
Info from BIS~ number one and most helpful page on Singapore buses~
