  guys.. please appreciate the difference between deregistered and scrapped.
  
  deregistered here means its no longer SBS-plated, bus had been sold/ transferred to new owner, not scrapped.

  I think that he did not board the bus because he said he saw the bus at traffic junction, so I think that he did not know the colour of the seats.

  those under A&S now are not part of the fleet de-registered last week. some of them were sold to A&S by Comdel about 2 years back.
  
  Please do not get misinterpreted.

  So it means that those that were deregistered last week might have a possiblity of being scrapped???

  deregistered --> mean no longer in LTA database...

  deregistered can mean either buses will be scrapped (due to lifespan expiry or accident or what), or can mean that the buses can be exported or be registered in another owner (provided COE is bought and 20 years lifespan is not up).... in this case, most likely the buses are going to scrapyard....

  If they are lucky they might end up exported to Bangkok again, just like the SBST's Merc 0405s.

  The buses were in not-very-good condition when I took them regularly in early 2007....I think its as good call by SBST to retire these unique buses.
