More on the following article at landtransportg...
SBS7376X (chassis no.: YV3S4H9236A112229) was part of a larger order for 200 Volvo B9TL (CDGE) double-deck buses. These buses were compliant with Euro III emission standards and featured locally assembled bodywork by ComfortDelgro Engineering (the engineering arm of SBS Transit’s parent company, ComfortDelgro). Notably, these buses were the first wheelchair-accessible public buses in Singapore, equipped with manual wheelchair ramps.
SBS7376X was registered to SBS Transit on 26 September 2006. With a 17-year statutory lifespan, the bus would have been due for retirement by September 2023. However, in May 2023, the bus reportedly entered non-user lay-up status. Later in June 2023, it was spotted within the premises of Liannex Corporation undergoing modification works. Paper signs affixed to the bus’s windscreen indicated “TRANSFER TO ITE“, alongside the usual “Do Not Deploy” notices associated with laid-up buses. The bus was formally de-registered on 20 July 2023.
In July 2023, the bus was moved to ITE College West. ITE College West offers Nitec and Higher Nitec vocational courses in Automotive Technology, which aim to provide training for individuals seeking a career in the automotive industry.

Surprisingly enough, my CDGE Rep is preserved at ITE CW! This is an amazing opportunity as a bus enthu and a pathway for future engineering students to remember Singapore's first-ever bus made accessible to wheelchairs.
B9TL CDGE is my favorite bus
Your video is so cool ever since 2007
Didn’t think that it’d be the classroom
Bus enthusiasts in ITE West must be so excited
I bet so
Not really, it's been in unuse since it ever arrived. only one time for PR purposes. i study there right by automotive
btw i saw the A&S B8L today you were passing by 972
@@Horus-j3f Nice
I mean on seeing the B8L
It’s my friend’s school bus sometimes
I want to point out Im that am from a secondary school which care for the environment, like we preserve old things to turn it into something new and we like to recycle. But, they did not even preserve a bus! I am sad now ):
You expect Secondary school to maintain a bus?! How can?
Funnily enough, the sbs transit logo at the front of the bus is supposed to be pasted above the purple bumper. Also the iconic yellow/teal seats were replaced with orange/yellow ones
Very nice
Its still in the old SBST livery from 2019! Brings back all the nostalgic memories.
Yup!
Wah you get to visit Ah! Lucky… but I have freind who’s in ITE west and the security don’t even care. So ya. I still can visit
Hehehehe. That's how Maxson entered ITE without any issues :)
The bus enthusiasts will now wanna go to ITE
Literally
Awesome video quite nice to see perserved bus also wrong bus rego should be 7376x
Still cant believe that the Euro III Volvo B9TL CDGES have officially been retired and all but one has been scrapped. Not to mention 2024 will be likely the last year of revenue service for the Scania K230UB Euro IV Buses too
Time really flies
Its also in ITE In Ang Mo Kio
(My elder sister is in college on ITE Ang Mo Kio)
The only cdge to be preserved. What a shame
The real shame is that when something is retained for practical reasons rather than heritage, it has an expiry date and can't be considered true preservation
I actually have some photos of its interior just that I didn't post it on CZcams to protect their privacy
If you mean people inside then I get what you mean, otherwise don't bother because the interior was shared by SBS transit in a press release
Oh
I live near there
are we allowed to go in ite or is it tresspassing cuz im not in ite
How did you get inside the campus? Is any member of the public allowed to walk in? 😅
I presume so as I just walked in 😅
Title is wrong, Should be SBS7376X
Thanks, fixed it but the description one can't be fixed for now, I'll try again later
Is this the place for the old C751B mockup?
Yes it's nearby inside a classroom
How'd you get in there?
Maxson, can you by any chance flim car 3320?
Not in the near future unfortunately, I'm not sure when I'll be back in Singapore. Furthermore that train is located inside a classroom that I believe isn't open to the public
@@glitchFan2428 but you can see though the glass panel :)
Where at?
