Even my non bus-enthusiast friends were asking why SG don’t even have the practice of preserving flagship bus models like this one. And I replied, “because LTA is stupid” 😂 😂

[@LinJunxiKingsley_LJKrep201sub]

Yeah LTA is stupi*

[@falcone1443]

Typical LTA .. They could really preserve these buses as they are part of our childhood memories .

This is so sad, I lived in Singapore from 1999 till 2012 and Hispano Habits were my absolute favourite buses. Its a shame they are all gone now, they look so modern and even futuristic despite being over 20 years old 😢

[@RT-qk6jg]

Why are you crying?

[@smb8p]

Because its the bus from his childhood, duh

[@RT-qk6jg]

But the hispano habits was permanently removed from revenue service. Some of them got scrapped while some of them got deregistered and sent to a different country.

My childhood friend, gone into pieces. The most fun bus to ride during your revenue service days, sadly you left this earth 3 years ago and left a legacy in the whole of the Transport Industry. Its time for you to rest now and remember your service to your homeland. Rest well, old friend. Thank you for your service since 2000. RIP (2000-2020) (btw this doesn’t look like Kiat Lee, is it another scrapyard?)

Seeing bendies getting scrapped is more sad in my opinion considering how rare they are now in SG and how lta dislike of bendies. Ofc i still get sad if single decks or double decks get scrapped.

[@glitchFan2428]

Yeah bendies will become rare and might even disappear completely in the future

My most loved bendy buses, quite sad that they are retired rest in peace 😭.

[@resketless]

Sad to see bendy are uncommon in sg as they can transport alot of passengers when on route, but sad to see old buses are scrapped as old bus model are best in the past

[@glitchFan2428]

Yeah it's always sad to see a familiar bus model get scrapped

[@sutrblx5546]

Why does Singapore has to get rid off bendy buses?

[@LGLegendGM]

im sad to see those old bendies getting scrapped

[@LGLegendGM]

@@sutrblx5546 cause lta thinks old buses=more accidents

[@tib1243sstudios]

@@LGLegendGM No because LTA thinks that bendy buses take up space on the roads. For example, 912 to WDL Checkpoint has to turn right after Blk 511 Bus stop. As a bendy that has to turn during traffic jams, the bus takes up to 4 lanes causing cars to miss the green light and create an even bigger jam. As of 2018, LTA will no longer buy more bendy buses due to this problem. You still have a chance to ride a bendy now before its too late.

[@UltimateFan357]

That's the bus I board the first time when I was very young. RIP my childhood bus...

[@MrColinTheBusDriver]

Sayonara remembered that bus on 969

[@akshaylenin7166]

I frequently travelled on this bus model during my childhood days, primary school days and till secondary school days.When I stayed in Woodlands Ring Road many years ago,I travelled on this bus model quite a lot of times on 912 bus service and 962 bus service

[@AmbientWalking]

This is so sad watching the habit get scrapped into pieces. Hopefully there would be a KUB scrapping video to pay tribute to the KUBs.

[@LinJunxiKingsley_LJKrep201sub]

@Zachary Boon like my friend, c651

[@alstommoviar151]

Not all kubs were scrapped only some because of wear and tear.

[@tky6324]

Ah yes...is that Singapore's last Non-Wheelchair Accessible Bus/High-floor in public passenger service? These buses I believed were retired in 2020, almost 3 years ago...and I'm quite sad to see this although I have never been to Singapore myself, yet. (Meanwhile here in Kuala Lumpur, Mysia...we still have our last NWAB bus model from rapidKL in service; those Mercedes CBC1725s with the Epic Voith/ZF gearboxes...very very nice) Oh well, looks like "Bus Preservation" is not-so a thing there in Singapore. What a shame...anyway, good video glitchFan2428!

[@mahuasutradhar]

I heard that one habit has been preserved outside at a woodlands bus interchange. But the front is broken where the license plate once used to be

[@itzblackys]

my favourite bus🥺

[@36_snaps]

it’s painful knowing that buses that are 17-21 years old are being ended so early

[@iMeltdownDeveloperX]

Why scrap? Putting it on-sale would be a better option than rather a destruction :( The Netherlands would be very interested of buing a vehicle like this one!

[@Vteckickinyo]

Thank you for serving us. It’s time to retire!

[@SGTransportEnthusiast11]

LTA should make a transportation museum instead of torturing the trains and buses like this

[@thelevitator6985]

This really goes to show how LTA cares for its buses.
"Whatever lah i dont care just scrap"

[@LinJunxiKingsley_LJKrep201sub]

I agree

[@LinJunxiKingsley_LJKrep201sub]

LTA is stupi*

[@user-oj4xm6by5b]

The end of an icon and an era crushed by the jaws of death surrounded by governmental red tape. Seriously, doesn't the baseless assumption judging a vehicle's condition by age feel right if it is well-maintained?
Preserving the entire fleet is unrealistic, but preserving at least one of these flagship buses is doable.

See I was always a fan of public transport, I loved buses and bendy buses especially.
I'm Eurasian (Half British/Asian) So I'd often travel to Singapore every year due to school holidays.
I remember traveling to Singapore in 2015-18 Seeing the bendy buses on the roads, now they're nearly non excitant. Only a few Man A24's remaining.
Generally seeing this hurts me.

Yeah sadly bendy buses would likely soon be a thing of the past

Also who agrees lta should preserve these buses and trains etc?

Because of this i never went on bendy bus in my life

I am bus and train enthuasist idk how lta call sustainability seriously lta is being foolish scrape bus life span within 18-20 yrs is not sustainable but i miss every old bus and my most fav was hispano habitat cerroca and i am borned in 2008

[@Fong148]

Whereas it is common for cities like Sydney to keep their buses beyond 20 years. O405s were still operating in Sydney in 2022 despite being in service since 1995/6, but they recently retired from passenger service just the start of this year.
