  Just last week tuesday,i saw 755G on 65.One week later exactly and its gone..
  
  And i also saw 739D 2 weeks ago without any destos parking at the furthest lot at Buona Vista Terminal.Its suspension had seemed to be gone and the bus body seemed to be almost touching the floor.

  I felt so pity of the MK3s. Why wouldn't anyone give us anyone a chance to bid the MK3s farewell?

  Your chances are on 32/33/195, they still have MK IIIs on it. Can board it before it goes off, it's still on service.

  33 I would say zero chance of catching a MK3 on it now that 768U is also gone..Anyway 768U was also very hard to catch when it was perm on 33.It kept cameoing around..Didnt spot a single MK3 on 33 for the past few days including today also..Is 779M still on it??Like nvr see it alr leh..Heng ah i took it last year alr.
  
  Svc 32 still ok..Anybody seen 783A and 851L on it recently??

  Youngsters won't understand the kind of excitment many of the older ones felt when SBST started introducing AC buses on a large scale.

  People queued up to take SBS9000S on its first day of operation as the first AC DD.

  The MKIIIs were definitely an improvement over the MKIIs simply because there was AIRCON. And unlike the contemporary N113s and 0405s, the MKIII was the first full AC SD fleet type.

  What I mean was we want to board the MK3s before they were de-registered, but chances are low due to lay-up, not we want SBS Transit to organise farewell tour.
