replacing with the standard wheelchair accessible buses soon hence these niche buses goes off~
CNG too inefficient and expensive to run. These buses were bought in to run Jurong Island services. After SBST lost the tender, the CNG buses became a burden. They can only refuel at Jurong Island. Since the buses no longer had any reason to go there, to go empty all the way in and out of JI just to refuel was seen as a waste by SBST and rightly so. No wonder they went so fast.
