If they extend their lifespan, it would at most only be like a couple of years only.
447C would have to go by around 2014, the max it can give, while the 425R and 426M, would be gone by next year.

There is no minimum requirement on the age of the bus that can serve the cross border services right?
Suckily SMRT decide to use these buses for the next 20 years. LOL.... You never know. -

Non basic bus services, not sure about that.
If the OAC buses are lucky enough, they may get to live until 2014 though, the max it can give, the CAC* batch most probably would go by 2015, If they are re-furbed.
* denotes buses registered after 30 dec 1995

Ic.. Cos 950 is considered cross border... doesnt come under basic services, doesnt it?
Then SMRT can slowly make full use of the Hispano OACs until their engines spoil out. LOL... -
i dont think OCs will be used to deploy... how about bendies? can go in JB?

But then look, most of the buses has to go by their 17 year lifespan, the max to the max is 19 years, can't go beyond that. -

who says so? be it a cross-border service or not, the bus is still registered under SG govt, under LTA right? as long as it is registered under LTA, the bus is liable to a lifespan of 17 years, max lifespan is 19 years including 2 years lifespan extension.
if i am not wrong, cross-border services are also basic services which are also liable under QoS.

QoS is enforced by PTC. cross border svs are under LTA's control -

if the PTOs cant find a suitable model replacement for the current subjected to the Malaysia side approval, there's nothing much LTA can do also.. rules and regulations set by LTA - no 2nd hand bus, all bus registered now has to be WAB etc. PTOs are merely following the rules but if the malaysian side dont approve because its not up to requirement, the best LTA can do is lifespan extension.
