Lay-up and redeployment of Volvo Olympians (Part 1)
-
9328 - 9349 will probably be extended tomorrow to at least 2 years, because the IT Show might be over. It needs more buses to increase capacity.
-
The SBS Transit for 2013, might select 5 NAC buses to have goodbye adverts, one for SBS Transit and four from JRTeam. These adverts are: SBS7202P - 'Lion City' (SLBP SP) SBS7203L - 'Hot Dog' (SLBP 193) SBS7232C - 'SGBuses' (SLBP 246) SBS7234Y - 'Goodbye' (SLBP 246) SBS7238L - 'Retro Dogs' (SLBP 255) SBS7275D - 'Farewell' (SLBP 257)

Their lifespans will only be extended on Tuesday, 13/03/2012, because the lifespans have not been extended as of now.

because of some unforeseen circumstances. Even though, the Facebook will shut down on March 15, the friend requests for me is blocked for 30 days, and major scoldings on 10 March and 12 March, I will decide on COI. -

No. The portal did reflected those buses as de-registered.

It's just a day since they went de-reg due to the date reflected as their lifespan expiry, no? Sometimes the portal lags in updating the system if SBST does a last-minute extension on their buses. Happened the previous time to the VO3x Batch 1s too remember?

Go and check the OM portal yourself and you will find out what I mean.

LOL, I know how to check on OneMotoring ya, in case you forgot I taught you how to search on there.
If you didn't get what I meant, the OneMotoring portal might show the bus as deregistered because 11 March was their due lifespan expiry date before any last minute extension. Happened to the first few SMRT MB O405s too in case you forgot, but turned out those MB O405s are still on the roads after their last-min extension. So I was just saying the buses might not be taken off the roads as said on the portal because the extension is not reflected.
But oh well, I need some people to verify if they still saw those bunch of VO3x on the roads or not. Otherwise they are really goners. -

Most likely it has the lifespan extended to 12/03/2014.

Ok. 4 more buses left to be confirmed whether their lifespans were extended.
-
Uh see, I told you the likelihood of SBST doing a last-minute extension on their VO3xs is very likely already.
-
On the other hand, 9332J should still be alive because its ad contract is not up yet AFAIK.
9334D should still be alive too cause SLBP is already having a shortage of buses, they would be crazy to kill this VO3x so early. -
