- Since the remaining Volvo MK3s are going off soon, it is very likely that the usage of metallic side destos are very soon walking into history. All other buses like the Merc 0405s (SBST) and the Dennis Darts are totally gone.
  
  Hence would like to start this topic for discussions over the metallic side destos used by SBST.
  
  Feel free to post any pics of metallic side destos here if u have.

Nope. The metallic square side destos will still be used as a side purpose for the services with red/white plates and buses without EDS.

Side square destos are history after MKIIIs retired last month.

Wonder how SBST is going to deal with these metal square destos.

Anyway it is one month since the MKIIIs retired...
