Let us take a look at the Volvo B10M Mark2 and Scania N113CRB. One-by-one, they are being removed from services, heading for the scrapyard. And they will be history.

There's also a farewell tour for this model in September 08:

6) Me myself. The captain of the day!
7) Group shot (taken by Yusry):
While the Scania N113CRBs are still in service, there's still a chance to have a ride on them before they are gone. The non-aircon Scanias will be the last batch of single decker non-aircon buses in SBS Transit's fleet, and they will extinct by Jan 2009. By the end of 2009, this model faces total extinction.
