The Volvo B9TL CDGE is currently the oldest bus in Singapore as of 2023. It's also the only bus to have Euro 3 engines in Singapore. With only 200 Volvo B9TL CDGE buses were built for SBS Transit and first debut in 2006. However, with LTA planning to have all E-buses in 2040s, the bus are scheduled to be retired on September 2023. All except one.

SBS7376X will get preserved by ITE and will be repainted into the original SBS colours. At least there’s one CDGE bus preserved. There are 2 other CDGE buses that have been “preserved” by SBS as permanent Training buses with their revenue service Equipment removed.

[@weireandoesstuff2580]

So their 3 preserved?

[@sgpublictransport34956]

@@weireandoesstuff2580 technically speaking yes. Since SBS7376X has been preserved by ITE, and the other 2 as permanent training buses. However the 2 training CDGE may only just have a longer life of the road before they are inevitably reduced to scrap metal

Some of the CDGE B9TL buses will be exported to other countries for preservation or for new owners in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Ireland or United States.

@@aravindhanravikumar2229 you sure? any evidence about exporting them?

[@RT-qk6jg]

It has been preserved for student training

[@weireandoesstuff2580]

Technically this is the best news I've ever seen, hope LTA would do something like this

[@amirsyazli1621]

Ever since LTA wanted to scrap those good buses, I hardly see them in my neighbourhood, I did manage to find some but they were very far from the neighbourhood. So when the bus is probably in one of the ITE near my home is where the bus is gonna be. I will probably visit it. As it’s been many years I did not ride on the CDGE, I remember I was like 6 years old. After that, I just ride on my parents car. So this will bring me back memories

I am sad in 2030-2050 SCANIA K23OUB will be gone...

[@MRTinSG]

Should preserve more than one.

[@MRTinSG]

And can you film more C151,C651 and C751B before they retire by end-2020s?

[@mrnicegamer5582]

Glad they are preserving a piece of history

[@goofy_ahhh337]

K31OUD and B9TL gemilang has been retired (2024)

[@lingohatsuki5185]

Sbs7367y also have yello seats

[@TrainEnthusiast2009]

With C751B 319/320 EMU 3320 than the preserved volvo b9tl cdge will be cut in half

[@Terence_Rajan]

It's not cut up.

[@ljd2004]

Will the bus retain the engine or not or will it be removed like the E4 Scania KUBS for the Changi Bus Resort🤔

[@Smolboi-u2x]

why are trains sometimes cut half in depots?
