- Some SBS Transit Scania K230UBs have been selected for possible export to another country. Several buses have been spotted in a carpark in Keppel, bearing notices suggesting that there are 20 units in total for export under "RVS Global". Where do you think they are going?

I am really excited going on this journey with you! It's so great to see the world thru your lens.
Whats super ironic is that they’re next to my house and I can just walk here every day…for now.
I always wondered: What if some retired SBST Scanias are shipped to Turku, Finland and converted to Linkker electric buses to serve us for 17 more years?
They'd probably do 1 unit first, right?
Im not sure these KUBS had RHD but finland uses LHD
@@9Dan5-Productions SMB3075A actually got shipped to Finland to be converted to a Linkker electric bus, which is now in service as SG3100M.
I bet they might do it at London since maxson is at uk sia so maxson will be excited and happy
@@ILPMG or malaysia or indonesia
Most of these buses were ex-cross border buses deployed on 160 and 170/X😭I wish they could have been in service when the borders re-opened to these routes in May!
If you would have seen in some parts of the video, these buses still had some elements of their pre-COVID life under Ulu Pandan Depot like the cross border stickers.
Ya exactly
That’s sad for people who want to take the scania
@@ILPMG the bus service I take back home 374 is still using this scania lol
I had seen the scania k230ub on svc 109, 39, 117
Although Im not a 100% fan of KUBs, I still like seeing them escaping from a scrapyard, I hope some will be bought by A&S or preserved like TIB1238H.
@Jason ok
Maybe shipped to Bangkok like the O405s.
Is 1238H completely preserved or just the front?
@@Catsocietybb21 1238H is at woodlands depot
@@tib1243sstudios is it parked up in a dark corner?
the batch 1 euro 4 KUBs were my favourite, sad to see them go. RIP
Send them to Hobart. Metro Tasmania can make use of the additional 20 buses to boost frequencies
Also strange they plan to preserve the "unrefurbished" kubs and went to scrap that 1 refurbished kub, SBS8191E.🤔
Some will be used to built a bus hotel at changi beach about 16 to 20 buses.
I'm excited to see them in their next lease of life.
Its really heartening to see these buses start a new life elsewhere rather than die under the claws of the digger.
exactly what i was thinking of ...i mean...they're still in good shape compared to the 2006 euro 3 citaros we have in Bucharest (the first ones bought new)
I've already seen this via the Internet
Now it is at The Bus Collective.
Yes
Now the KUBs are also facing the same thing as those B9TL CDGEs which is early retirement
I am gonna miss this bus in the future I like the kickdowns and I always take bus 20 and 38 on those buses what a memory lah I am gonna miss it sad life the lovely kickdowns
But lucky they aren’t scrapped except some few buses I am gonna miss it but I do like the euro 5 KUB best kickdowns
Just spotted the retired K230UBs at the Keppel Carpark, was on a moving bus 30 though so I couldn't take pictures
the e5s then will be converted to bus resort but the e4s to rvs global for multiple test of engine
The Bus Collective!
Yup! We didn't know back then
It is lucky that those K230UBs have escaped from being scrap metal. I wonder if the buses selected for import are gonna get shipped off to another country and get a new lease of life there ,or they will be bought by A&S Transit. Hopefully the rest will be preserved and not be stuck in a bus park or depot to rot like what happened with TIB1238H. Not mentioning they were retired early ahead by 4 years they could just use them as replacement buses if a bus broke down, a training bus or a bridging bus if there was a major train disruption.
Yeah they got rid of them far too early imo
God dang it
@Jason CNG bus had logistical issues with refuelling.
There are also e5s for singapore bus resort
I took 165 as Scania KUB SBS8173H
Well that's interesting
Good to know that my childhood buses gets a second least if live
Shipping them to Cyprus, Malta, Kenya, South Africa or Jamaica might be possible too
hopfuly they will be sent to hong kong to nlb since they have nl273 as a singaporian bus with smc doors and prob turn the scandias to electric
Still have purple loose wheel nut indicators on the buses. Everything in the buses are still intact and secured except for some rubbish on the floor
Wow I am extremely happy that the KUBS have escaped the scrapyard for now.🥹 Looking forward to a memorable KUB scrapping video 😪
Can't promise anything for now though
I find it quite backwards that Singapore banned chewing gum except ones ment to help with quitting smoking because the pavements were covered in them (chewing gum was becoming land pollution) and yet they scrap 13 year old buses even though they see buses which are 17 year old or older as dangerous so it's a waste of buses because they could be used for other routes or as Spare buses
Technically only the sale of chewing gum is banned, you can still buy it in small amounts from other countries and bring it in for personal consumption. Yeah it's a real waste that they are scrapping buses that can still be used
@@glitchFan2428 clearly the blue ribbon clowns shldnt even be responsible for purchasing the buses and how they manage to fuck up other aspects of the industry ever since 2016
As Well CDGES Or KUB Will Be Moved To Hong Kong As Well As CTB KMB(For CDGE) LWB And NLB I Think NLB Wont Use It Cdges For CTB Or Other Will Ex Sbs Transit
It’s likely going to Malaysia. I went there to take a look and at the back of the bus there is the max speed limit but it is in “km/j” and only Malaysia and Indonesia uses “km/j” as a measurement for speed
That's the stickers that the bus already had when in service between Singapore and Malaysia
Fyi Jakarta is commited to procure electric only and no more fuel based buses. Their plan to ban combustion vehicle around 2035 onward seems going to be approved.
If other smaller cities want to procure similar type of bus they would get it second hand from Transjakarta I assume.
Manila desperately need this Bus asap.. their current EDSA BRT fleet is lacking and the embarking door is on the wrong side.
Confirm akan masuk ke Malaysia mesti punye... KUB is Malaysia's bus they own the design & have solid experience with them too!
KL, Penang and Kuantan got tons of KUBs.
I wouldn't be surprised if these are shipped as a "donation" to somewhere like Myanmar 🇲🇲 (Burma) which is full of vehicles donated to the Burmese government by the JP government or those are more likely to be sent to Thailand 🇹🇭 but I actually think these may be sent to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 as a "sorry for letting your criminal president escape punishment for his crimes by letting him stay here" kind of thing...
In Myanmar, buses are driven on the left side like American vehicles, Singapore buses are driven on the right side like British vehicles.
Funny thing, cars and taxis in Myanmar are British cars.
Lucky 20 to get exported
Most likely shipped to some place that is left hand traffic since it's incompatible with right hand traffic.
Probably Australia or New Zealand (my guess is the former).
I think maybe Thailand would be a better place, as a similar-looking electric bus was on trial in Bangkok not too long back.
That's a good guess, seeing how they had our O405s before
shame Prasarana could have bring extra KUBs as "rescuing" mission
Depends On Which Country The Units Will Be Exported
Keppel Road Terminal?????????
Maybe the rest of the retired K230UBs for A&S Transit (not the 20 buses)
Good 👍👍 video sharing
I hope one,just one gets preserved and sent to the UK,Just like that One Leyland Super Olympian.
It's was a Leyland Olympian, and yes I do hope that one will be preserved
What if RapidKL gets these buses?
Should be good, coz the buses are in good condition..but prasarana need to take care of it well..
After testing the buses will get remodeled and go out of singapore forever and for using the staff shuttle by rts global
I hope most of the KUB's will get a new lease of life, these workhorses served for only 13 years and could easily opperate for many years to come for other countries
Well it has to be somewhere that drives on the left (the correct side of the road 🙂).
Cheeky... But yes I agree 😂😂
I hope they send this to Philippines because due to the EDSA carousel services on the left lane passengers are quite hard to get in I hope few of them go to Philippines for the left door EDSA bus stop way
That might be a good idea, but sadly they have to be converted to LHD if they're exported to Philippines
just like the used Japanese buses in this country
Need help. Is the bus still there? My kid would love to have pics there.
After seeing these KUBs at Keppel, I think i might do a retired paper bus like this but I don’t know which model to use… I also think they might be exported to somewhere probably USA with conversion to LHD, UK or maybe even Thailand like the SBST MB O405.
Thailand is a good guess
@Jason maybe or not
i said UK, which is also where Manchester is…..
I hope A&S can get these Buses
No Point Refurbished Since LTA don't Allowed
Even stickers still on the bus
Wherever RVS Global is placed
Meanwhile the K230UB in KMB still climb hills and highway everyday
I think Singapore needs to stop treating their buses like tools
Maybe these buses are destined to be shipped to Malaysia, becuase they alr have KUBs running in KL & Penang.
I suppose if that's the case they would just drive them there?
Going to miss them when they are fully retired even if I don’t personally like them
I used to dislike them but now I kinda had a change of heart because of the zf ecomat
Are there any Voith KUBs at all?
@Jason so KUB never had Voith option?
@Jason you mean they actually do?
@Jason where can we find Voith KUBs?
Indonesia is impossible due to import ban on any built up buses (except Electric buses)
I see
glitchFan2428 I didn't Know They Allowed u to enter the compound
footage was provided to me as stated
I hope they could go to Indonesia.
LTA bought these buses using taxpayers money at $300k each.. after 13years of service, they already recouped back.
Hopefully other kub could be shipped to other countries to used their rest of the lifespan
I hope so too
I wonder when its time for the Euro V KUBS turn to retire, will any of those be preserved. Also hoping some of the remaining CDGES will get preserved. Chances i heard quite low i bet since they are Euro III Emission. But then i heard a bus emission can be switch from Euro III/IV to Euro VI, Not sure if that is true or not. If it is true, i just wish those retired Euro II buses in the past would be converted😔Well i guess this is the closest we can get to preserving a bus coming from SG. Speaking of preservation, SMRT could just sell of TIB1238H to another country for preservation/operations. No point to be SG just to rot in a corner and 0 chance to run again.
Fact: Once the Euro V KUBS retires, we can say goodbye to Scania buses in SG bcoz lta isnt interested in buying buses from Scania anymore.
Why
Thing is the CDGE B9TLs all got resprayed green while the €5 KUBs may never be.
@@andrewsitu3472 Probably realised it was a waste to repaint them from the CDGES. And i dont see Euro V KUBS being repainted to lush green since they technically is only owned by SBS just like the SMB Citaros are owned by smrt, they too during refurbishment was never painted green.
@@Jason-dr6xm Bcoz lta had said that Scania buses are hard to maintain compared to other brands and that these Scania K230UB Buses are very loud
@@ljd2004 the OC500s were repainted. But then again some of them were transferred to TTS Mandai.
RVS Global is a London based company...so the UK?
There's a RVS Global in Singapore as well
i think they will be exported to malaysia?
Scania K23UB euro 5 is retired
I miss cross border buses
I hope they will be sent to Korea or Hong Kong as an electric bus
@Jason thanks bro
probably will go New Zealand, I guess
Not all retire disappointment.bus service 131 and 141 still use these buses puzzled why no retire ? ?
There are still 900+ of these buses on the roads now
Still have Euro V KUBS that can still serve us for awhile
They are going to my house!!
That's rogue
@@glitchFan2428 MEGA
Send to Philippines!! They need this for the EDSA BRT!! 🇵🇭
Or to Timor Leste 🇹🇱
My believe it will go to hong Kong or uk
the fuck they Have it The KMB
Possible export to UK
this sbst scania k230ub shiped to malaysia
Where are they headed to?
0:50
Try watching the video next time yeah 👍🏻
Probably Australia. It's normal for buses over here to be in route service until 25 years old, and then charter operators can squeeze another 10 years or so out of these after that... so a bunch of 12-13 year old buses have plenty of life left.
maybe going to Thailand or New zealand
No wonder I see so less kub's
170 160 bus JB Larkin johor bahru JB sentral
The Rotten Scania some are rotten with dash removed
After some research i think they are going to india
I think this bus wil go to Thailand
I hope 8033 also escaped scrap yard
Annoyongly its these that got sent instead of b10ms and volvo b10tls etc grrrr
Yeah if only someone bought the b10ms
@@glitchFan2428 tbh nobody would know that these buses despite being managed by lta, lta still approve the sale so i wonder why smrt doesnt sell its buses? And are overseas market for second hand vehicle really bad?
@@TIB1106EProductions Arent these K230UBS owned only by sbs & not lta? So this techincally is decision from them. Besides these buses were retired way earlier compared to the other two models i believe.
London
Not impossible but unlikely
Macam bas Malaysia
The rest export 2 m'sia
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The bus go thailand
Omg
Should convert to electric bus
Maybe that's the plan hmm
Can non-EV bus cvtd to EV bus?
First
Nie
Those refurbished and then deregister shortly after damn wasted sia...
Yeah it seems like the bus in the video was refurbished and didn't even enter service again? Cos of the lack of LTA stickers... but u can clearly see the interior has been refurbished by looking at the pillars being a lighter colour
