I feel sad some times when old buses are scraped but it is a very good video of seeing how they scrap the buses into bits of pieces.
The middle of the bus was toughest. Must have been driven in if the air tanks still have pressure
I'm still sad that they are scrapping these buses. If I ever go back to Singapore (I'm from Canada BTW) for a visit, sure I would get to ride the new buses I never had a chance to ride on before I left, but it just won't be the same without the older ones as well :(
Just come to SG immediately before O405G Mk I are going to be rare and will be gone.
TehEvadingSpartan I might try to, like maybe next summer vacation (Summer here begins in June). My family is still saving money though.
The BEST way to ride the old SMRT bus by riding service 67.The other one is riding the charted bus to Giant, IKEA And Courts
InfernusGuy TeamLoti Yeah, I could catch the 67 at the Tampines bus interchange if I'm still in SG. I also remember taking those free shuttles near the Tampines train station to Giant, Ikea, and Courts Megastore.
FastCarsNoRules220 You can see a lot of Hispano Habitats and MAYBE a O405G Bendy. MAYBE. Service 184. At Pending stn.
My friends are gonna weep so badly at this one
Hi it's quite sad to see this buses scrap!
I have the NZG 1/50 scale model. Great bus. This should never happen. Send all retired buses to India or Indonesia.
11:16 Ay yo GAS!!!
7:11 Who could imagine seeing broken glass?
So many glass bits on the floor
Very strong bus so far I have seen. SMRT (TIBS)should be proud of this buses
Mercedes 0405G are the legacy of TIBS
0:43 the scrap machine ripped off the paintwork like ripping off a sticker
Satisfying
- Infinte
Wow actually satisfying
Its satisfying tho
Ye
Not for me
15:11 satisfiying see him fail miserably trying to break the articulator a few times
Bus fights back 😮
Tough
What a stupid operator
Lol
@glitchFan2428 Yep. In that fight, I'm for the bus.
It's sad seeing them destroy such a bus... It's a good thing it will get a new life once it gets recycled and turned into a new bus. But one question, don't they have like a car crusher machine, but like a bigger one? If they plan to scrap buses, they should use those machines instead of the crane.
I think this method is cheaper though.. Not to sure abt that
FastCarsNoRules220
FastCarsNoRules220 did you saw something spraying out from the bus at 11:16
Nah, I'm pretty sure that was air condition fluid or something. If it was gas, there could have been a high chance of an explosion. Besides, I think they should have emptied the gas tank before scrapping.
FastCarsNoRules220 I don't think they make new buses out of a pile of scrap, they just leave it there.
Rip I will miss the times you drove me back to my home
They could sell it to Indonesia, we extremely need such city buses even though they're old...
Los Bay Petros TV Hopefully your prayers would be answered over the next 6 years - all of the O405Gs will be retired by 2021; hopefully they would be sold rather than scrapped.
Agreed,selling to you guys helps indonesia and help preserving the buses too
Los Bay Petros TV but indonesia is too selfish when ever singapore ask them want help they always trying to be strong
eric leong Dont drag in politics,if thats the case then china shouldnt assemble and sell those ENVIRO500 to SMRT,since lee hsien loong recently just angered the chinese
Los Bay Petros TV iv ko
My deepest condolences to TIB 858 A
You mean 858 H?
Welp, time to say goodbye to my childhood bus
For some reason when they pulled the tape of the bus it was so satifiying
i dont know why but this is satisfying
Gamingconcept5000 Ikr especially at 0:26 when air comes out
@@basictransportenthusiast4386 and 0:43 with the paint removal
This is the 1st type of the Mercedes-Benz bendy bus that Trans-Island Bus Services( now SMRT BUSES LTD) purchased and the bus is brought into Singapore by sea in a huge vessel which carries cars, trucks, buses and heavy machinery etc.. The 2nd type is another design of the bus which is known as the Smiling Bus with a plate number TIB 973A as the first launching plate number of the bus. As for the 3rd type, it is a design by Pininfarina with TIB 1019Z as the 1st plate number at the launching of the bus. Now all these buses are either scrapped or being sent overseas for use in other countries. In this video, the bus is scrapped at Kiat Lee Machinery Services as authorized by LTA. The machinery used is an excavator fitted with an industrial clamping tool.
They should keep at least 1 unit of the Hispano Habit Pininfarina type in some transport museum in Singapore, bring it out for yearly joyrides (sell tickets to cover costs etc.) for the transport community here. The design is timeless..even after 20 years the styling, headlamps still look modern & the bodywork quality is superior to most others even newer buses !
I recall at the time when i attended the launch ceremony around June 2000 @ TIBS Woodlands depot it was mentioned this was the world's 1st Habit bodywork on articulated Mercedes-Benz O 405G chassis...indeed time files..even now in 2022 year it still appears to me as if it's like 'not very long ago' when i attended that 1st ride around the housing estate following the ceremony that morning with the Hispano chairman on board & he asked me what i think of the bus..to which i said it's good, of course. Thing is, with the Hispano build quality 'standard', even after 20 years later i would still say it's good ! Can't say the same with many of the other bodybuilders however !
no wonder there’s no more these kind of bendy buses in early 2020s
there are. mercedes citaro is available as a bendy bus too. all bus makers offer bendy variants too.
@@verliebt3465 I am pretty sure he's talking about singapore. Since when got citaro G (citaro bendy) in singapore? And plus not all buses have bendy variants here in singapore.
@@birdwithoutwings6858 mercedes does sell a bendy variant of citaro, i guess it's the municipality's fault they don't use them nowadays. I thought the op meant in general.
@@verliebt3465 but we are talking about singapore buses. There were never citaro Gs being sold to singapore
Actually there are about 30 to 40 bendy buses you can see in Singapore but the manufacturer is MAN from Germany. Most of these MAN bendy buses can be seen at both Yishun & Woodlands Intergrated Transport Hub interchange. A few of these buses are in bus service 858 which operates between the new Woodlands bus interchange and Changi Airport. As bendy buses take up space because of its long body, double-deck buses are purchased by LTA instead.
I hate LTA in this point: can't they at least keep 1 of each model to remember and display it? I pity those buses
Now we can at best hope they preserve one hispano habit since they are tbe only o405gs left
They preserved the front of the habit
@⛄sutrblx⛄ nope they preserved the entire bus at woodlands bus park, the one you were talking about is a mockup
goodbye bus you will be in my heart:(
Old Kopaja and Metromini buses in Jakarta should be scrapped LIKE THIS
Dayan Arung no
boo
Nice video!
TIB858A RIP
RIP Mercedes Bus
I am so sad that all of this good busses destroyed 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
it'sirfan It had to be destroyed, to be recycled.
it'sirfan If you see 17:33 you can see the engine coverer being cut open.
Joshua Sang but why recycle good busses?
if too old to operate then why b10ble already 21 years still look ok leh?
@@notused6779 wasnt it introduced in 1997
I feel bad that bus is well made
Always tragic to see the old gal go... 😞
How did you manage to go in?
What have you done to the door
actually one can see that the metal use is quite weak. The only reason why hispano bodywork is strong should be due to the good wielding of the parts together
3:37 if you carefully watch, you would be able to see an SBST remnant
What?!
If they used a digger that was made by Caterpillar Inc. to scrap the bus, that would be cannibalism - we'd have a caterpillar eating a caterpillar!
Peter Downey what caterpillar is being eaten? The bendy bus?
@@allyg7940 Yes. They're sometimes called _caterpillar buses._
Hahaha
LOL yea..
Why did water spray from the bus?
which scrapyard is this glitchFan2428 ?
Kiat lee
Feel Hurt old bus going to distroy... :,(
Yano this is painful to watch
Cant they just put it into a muesuem or smthing
I cry like 59 mins if i saw this
Lta should have a bus museum (I mean with the old busses in regular size) its a part of our history... :C
Lta doesn't understand the words "preservation" and "history".
So thats why old busses got sent to here... :c
Wow how f***** stupid LTA is
There is another reason for this, there are no space for a bus museum due to space contrants as most open spots are becoming HDB flats so we have no choice but accept defeat.
can't we just expand Singapore or just destroy the hdbs to make way for bus museums?
5:05 did anyone noticed the tibs orange color?
Actually for some buses you can peel away the sticker to expose the trans island livery below
i would like to see more video of it don't mind share more of it.
This is all the videos I have captured, if you wish to see more scrapyard videos, I have more on my channel :)
Where is this place
This is at KIAT LEE MACHINERY PTE LTD in Singapore
it really hutrs me when i see a car go not just because im a vehicle but because the fact that the way they get torn apart
Yeah I get ya
Why did they have to scrap Asia's first bendy bus
It should rather scrap the O 530 Citaro instead the O 405
R.I.P old busus
i love that bus but why scrape away can keep in the museum
There is a trans-island colour (orange) of 5:06 of the video
I know its such so deppresing when a bus is scrapped.But it can be used for making cars or any transportation
All the bendy buses have gone
There are still some left
They can also repair it and sent to India
is 838h scrapped
scrap liao,2013
Why they distroy the old bus 😥 i always like to ride on it but they distroy it wtf man
They destroy it because
• Old buses are expensive to maintain
• The bus owner makes more money by selling the scrap metal from the bus than selling it intact
They make money like that:
Keep older buses and do not buy new ones
Then sell the old bus to Estonia
Sell it to city bus company
(We rly need these buses..)
Feel Hurt Old bus going to destroy... :,(
If i was in that crane I would destroy lta instead of that bus
i all in
as usual they don't give a fack about the peoples memories
me three

Yep
The bus is old but there is a long new smrt bus 2
Last Stop

Prasad Indi stupid loser this is sad

I like buses how dare u but Goodbye TIB858A rest in peace
@Johnston Steiner i dare you i scrap you

Yup
R.I.P the bendy buses :(
I like tibs
RIP
RIPping this bus is good
Holiday Fun yaloh.
Oh！
on 0:24 , what is that gas thing?
i think that's the pneumatic system
+Video Production™ oxygen :) lololololol
+TheRandomCZcamsr Whodoesnotpostanything nope, compressed air. it's used to operate doors, brakes, suspension, etc.
Actually to me I really hate the idea of scrapping, just use the bus till it breaks down and doesn’t start
Goodbye, TIB858A
why would smrt do that??
OMG My first youtube comment
+No Username cause SMRT sucks,their buses were built to last longer...but their maintence cause them to break
Cause did you know buses are 17 years lifespan
R.I.P SMRT BENDY
Rip
nice
Whoa now totaly distory half the bus
Good bye old friend
MAN A22 and new TIB
I used to take them on 67
Ouch
The bus is old that's why he broke it down but have new one
This funny to watch! Go trains busses suck
agreed scrap all em busses
Oh yeah what If I say busses go trains suck to your face huh??! Sure you will get pissed off right?!
Why are they scrapping this bus?
It's too old for the sg authorities
R.I.P
TIB858A
???? To 2014
1997
now everyone confirm hate LTA
I do hate LTA
Can't SMRT & SBS Transit sell those buses to neighboring countries? I am sure they would be good enough for poorer cities in Indonesia, Thailand ...
they did sell some buses to Australia
+PolosLatinos And some to Thailand
What?
They sold the bendy buses to New Zealand.
PolosLatinos but they must be destroyed to not cause any accidents in future
Why don’t they give it to other countries instead of destroying it and wasting it?
R.I.P boxy bendy.
Why don't they sell it on, that way they would make money
It is junk... they make more money selling as scrap metal. If they could sell it complete for more cash, they would. Nobody wants to maintain this obsolete shit. If you think it is worth more than scrap, then why don't you buy them?
SteamLocoScrapper Why you gotta be that rude?
Irishbanana I come across my local countrymen with this attitude Everyday. Imagine that
@@PreservationEnthusiast u are a disgrace to the word preservation! U should change ur name to scrap enthusiast i wonder how it is like if ur the bus getting sold of for scrap metal and called “junk” obviously u would cry for help won’t u?!
@@Skibidibab Once again buses do not have feelings. So your point is irrelevant.
scrapping cars is fun to watch but with trains its sad.
I cry everytim when I see a scrapped train.😩😢
This is a bus idiot
I wish that SMRT was smart and repair all old buses and change them to the new logo that Singaporeans love today...
I don't like that they released Freon into the atmosphere. They signed international agreements to avoid the release of these gases that harm the ozone layer. Which country was this?
Singapore..
The red and white on the bus has the answer
it’s a old bus and ofc it might contain freon… they prolly felt that it was btr to leave it there because of risk of bursting if they removed it prior to scrapping…but what can they do when they accidentally burst the tank… pls use ur brain to think b4 u comment and i’m rly amazed at the fact that you cld not identify the country based on the relevant information available…
If I was in that crane I would scrap the same way as C751B, C651 and C151.
ASMR bus scrapping
I don't like when they ripped something off and an air line started hissing. If the operator had hit an air tank that might have caused explosive depressurization and potentially injured someone.
There are breaking all buses
it sad also, even making a new bus
I never saw that in my life
I only told you to blow the bloody doors off!!
WHEN THE FRONT END WAS DESTROYED THE STICKER ON THE BACK WINDOW SAID LONG VEHICLE NOW ITS A SHORT VEHICLE
NOOOOO I WANTED TO RIDE THAT
