The History of Singapore's Transit Buses Part 2/3 (2001-2016)

Here's part 2 of my remake of the History of Singapore's Transit Buses, this part showing buses introduced during the transitioning era from SBS to SBS Transit and TIBS to SMRT in the 2000s.
I do not own the songs! All copyright goes to Linkin Park and Kevin Rudolf.

[@sutrblx5546]

I like how this guy puts happy music on the decade where every old buses were being scrapped

[@islandlife9560]

SMB138Y is now rebodied and served as an Airport shuttle in Perth, Western Australia. Still has the SMRT doors closing announcement

[@Nooobander11]

[@sbsrproduction]

I want go back to 2011 to see the old buses

[@Team_CRTL]

I Miss This Volvo

[@kaywi3959]

I feel sad that the volvo b10m mark 4 are gone now... used to ride on them... remember how cushioned the seats were
Anyway remember i still saw volvo b10m mark 4 in like 2016 or later

[@randomcookiessparklex6486]

Really

[@SBS2824Cc]

This is probably one of the best era for public transportation

[@riclee371]

totally

[@sutrblx5546]

Yea but the sad part is that so many older buses were scrapped in the following

[@angelevil1006]

RIP SBS9888Y, SBS7440T and the rest of the buses in the Ang Mo Kio Depot Fire...

[@serenelow2120]

3:43 i see this bus service everyday, mercades benz citrao and sciana k230 ub also i herd they will have double deckers soon

[@mrsiao6717]

In 2015 I saw one of the last old busses.

[@NuuweiLol]

1:36 I may or may not remember this bus but I used to take this to my primary school

[@SuccessforLifester]

One thing that they never improve upon is the seats. The backrest is too low. My head is always dangling in the air and this makes me dizzy. I need to slouch in order to have support for my head.

[@lindawu2326]

Sean even with the busses with higher seats?

[@WSPROJECT08]

What is your intro song name I wanna hear the full

[@titancinemaguy]

OMG I like boom boom pow and.................... (to next episode)

[@abnertheyoutubertime]

I think I know why some Mk2/3s were scrapped in 2008 and 2012 because the Mk2 is non air con and the Mk3 is aircon

[@sutrblx5546]

Some mk2s were air-conditioned

[@kaywi3959]

Why the lifetime of buses in singapore are so short? In some countries they use the bus for up to 20 plus years! They shd keep some of the old buses and let people ride on it sometimes

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

True. I actually live in Canada now and I have been on a few buses from the 1970s and 1980s. Also in London I heard that they still use of some old Routemaster double decker buses.

[@serenelow2120]

parts from old buses that work fine such as the engine and wheels are caniblised to other perfect conditioned buses

[@SMRT-Transit]

Because bus preservation is not allowed in Singapore which is quite sad.

[@josephinthechickensoup123]

Sg, all buses will be Eco friendly by 2040, so all diesel buses are being retired SLOWLY

[@TheRealNAuthenticIzaria3436]

​@@josephinthechickensoup123I fear that the A95, A22 and all the new diesel buses will prematurely get retired

[@jokorakajoko2457]

I like the song its cool

[@vivianlim8337]

the Alexander Dennis Enviro is at 2017

[@unknownywuux_bus]

Nice video

[@gooitc]

why would sbs transit reject the oc500le trail and sell it to private companies

[@TheRealNAuthenticIzaria3436]

Their apparent love for Scania buses apparently

Was SBS998Y Scrapped After The Accident Or Was It Repaired?

@@carlfoster1000 Well, if I had the money, I most definitely would purchase them for my collection and bring them to a custom shop and repaint them back to their SBS Transit livery.

You should not put "5888s", you should put "5888h".

Eeerrm SMRT citaro was introduced in 2010 and SBST in 2012

[@SBS6578L]

SMB136C in 2010, and the others in 2011

[@birdwithoutwings6858]

David Chen I know

[@birdwithoutwings6858]

But cant he just put this:
2010: SMB 136C,a mercedes Citaro was introduced
And:
2011: More Citaros are introduced because of SMB136C's trial success

[@SBS6578L]

I think it is because sbst citaros don't have demonstrators

[@birdwithoutwings6858]

David Chen exactly

[@diabloflare8304]

I like old buses and I hate the new once boo Singapore lousy!

[@roguemr420]

tsk singapore dont keep buses lah

[@tegikhsan2525]

You have to understand that buses in Singapore have 17 years of registration lifespan. After their licenses expire, most of the buses would be towed for scrap.
