  Weird that they refurbished the buses but didnt extend their lifespans..

  It is that the Scania buses receive early refurbishment on their 15th year of lifespan.

  And the standard rule (to SMRT I think) is that refurbished buses have an extended lifespan of 2 years, which means they will be deregistered two years later.

  But I agree with you, the lifespan of these buses should have been extended.

  Most likely SMRT will not extend 500-series but will extend some 600-series.

  Hope that TIB635B will get extended.

  This all depends on whether any of the Scanias get new ads recently.

  But unfortunately, TIB655T had its ad removed and replaced with SMRT livery. This is a sign of de-registration with no lifespan extension.

  De-registered buses weren't sent to the scrapyard that fast.
