  SBS702J (BN 6) is still loyally on Service 6 on its last day living today. Saw it in the evening doing the 6pm slot (coincidence much? 6pm slot on Service 6 on its last day ) towards Loyang Industrial Estate while i was onboard 848Y on 17. The last trip for 702J, the last time it was serving Pasir Ris area. After being kicked out from 358, it still came back to serve Pasir Ris on 6 after running around.

  Quite special to me personally because it was the first group of buses I saw around Pasir Ris when i entered this bus-spotting thing 7 years ago, and yet you know you won't see the bus anymore the day after. It's a shame to see the reliable workhorse gone, but at least there's still other Mk 3s around for now. I'm different from those kids who can't wait for such Mk3s to get lost sooner than later. 

  Haha yeah.Well said.

  Same here despite being almost 19 years of service, many just feel like around 7-8 years old.

  That bus is as good as dead. The fire probably burned through the chassis, beyond economical repair.

  Only 4 more days left for 628R and 630H to run on their respective perms (9 and 35). Looks like the former AMDEP MK4 DMs will replace them soon.

  628 & 630 started off as Sentosa buses. Back then they were painted in green livery.

  It is awaiting de-registration only. Not laid-up, just like the last 3 VO2Xs and SBS760R.

  195 currently got the most number of MK3s in the entire SBST fleet.

  Adding on 16, 32, 35, 40, 42, 103, 325 etc.
