2022 is the saddest year for Singapore Bus Enthusiasts as more CDGE and E4 buses were send to scrap. Now an Alexander Dennis Enviro 500 is also going to retired. Registered as SMB5012T, the bus was involved into an accident in 2021. After a year, the bus was finally send to scrap mark the first DD Bus with tree poles to retired in SMRT fleet. Even though its a euro 5 bus, they can still live longer than euro 4. Hopefully we can still see those euro 5 buses in the coming years.

wait? when was the last time Maxson commented to zc? and hes still in UK right?
@Dimensional Animations bro chill lah bro. Im not talking to you bro. so just chill
@Dimensional Animations kinda like how kids will argue to their parents
@Dimensional Animations ...
We have lots of Enviro500MMCs In HK but some of them were retired bc of crashing
This is indeed a very sad case but thank you for bringing us this very interesting and informative video presentation which is very much appreciated by the people.
My childhood fav bus is now being retired😞😞
@ZC just to tell you I saw this Alexander Dennis Enviro 500 3D2S on Service 107 and 23 as well
where?
3:22 SMB5012G?
Hey ZC, I saw a lot of Alexander Dennis Enviro 500 buses at Kallang some days ago. Try going to Kallang to see the buses!
Not surprising since I heard an E500 in HK (likely from KMB) also got retired at around 3-5 years of age due to fire damage).
It can't be helped. Structural damage is a safety hazard and is often difficult to repair. This looks more a like a write-off because the repair costs and loss of revenue are too much compared to shifting the work to another bus. LTA got an extensive fleet of buses sitting around waiting anyway, so it's not so much a big deal on the operator's side.
It could be repair by rebuild, as long as the chassis or engine not damaged,order a new body kit from ADL. Or send it back to zuhai china factory for rebuild. HK KMB had did a similar bodykit replacement repair, just that sing guys dont have this encounter. I think is cost concern. It could be damaged by the trees from the roadside. Buses are sing gov vehicle, buy a new one better..
@@jl6735 Is it possible to convert to open-top and sent to Big Bus Singapore?
I still remember riding non aircon double decker 166 bus from Clementi to AMK. I used to stick my hand outside the window
Not a Singapore bus enthusiast but it’s really sad to see this enviro 500 get withdrawn / retired and it’s looks interesting to ride on
Why was the Enviro500 bus scrapped?
R.I.P. SMB5012T
2014 - 2022
After 8 years of transporting passengers and driving around Singapore, the bus was eventually retired due to the incident involved in 2021 and it was unable to fix the damage bus.
How serious was the damage
it 9 years not 8 years
@@MrColinTheBusDriver beyone repair acceptable (like it enter full part replace requirement state)
@@94Princeking its 8 years dingus
@@รัชชานนท์โสธรรมมงคล can they just fix it like last time?
Oh no! We love you SMB5012T, you will be in our hearts forever!
If I am not wrong Malaysia also had their enviro 500 prematured retired as well.
nope. All were transferred to Rapid Penang
RIP SMB5012T, the first SMRT Buses DD to be scrapped
2014-2022
Remember SBS8900B The first scania k230ub euro 5 was also involved in an accident & scrapped in 2013
is it really the first kub e5?
1:30 good to see Mercedes-Benz O405G still preserved in the bus park.
I know is very pain for bus enthusiasts have to let go SMB5012T due to an accident before.
What about the demonstrator double decker bus Scania K310UD SBS7888K? Is it going to retire soon?
it will retired soon cause its a euro 4
27 April 2022 night near gambas and yishun svc 858 forgot number plate SMB15Xx accident front left windscreen and lamp crack.. Newspaper have.. What about this bus?
2:04 did j saw blood on the broken windows?
Recently one of the double decker buses caught fire on it's way to Bristol whist in service summer of last year ( thankfully both driver and passengers were evacuated quickly and safely before the fire brigade arrived ) but it was to late to save the bus as it was nothing more than a chassis with wheels ( thankfully no one was hurt )
RipSMB5012T, you will be in our heart forever!
What happened to 5012 Did it crash?.... Scrapyard next to depot I just remembered
oh and also theres a typo at the end it should be 5012T not G
Reminds me of that one B9TL CDGE, SBS7440T which was deregistered & scrapped in 2010 after only 8 years in service due to a fire at ang mo kio depot, the same fire that destroyed SBS9888Y, the Volvo B10TL Demo as well😔
SBS7440T had only 3 years of service from January 2007 to March 2010, not 8 years.
@@aravindhanravikumar2229 oops yeah it was 4 years not 8
Looked like something sort-of exploded towards the left side top deck or someone shot through the windows.
yup
Guys remember SMB1310J that MAN A22 that recently got into a accident which resulted by a car smashing into the middle side of the bus and 2 people died? From the pictures i see online, the damage seems quite bad, it might be scrapped😔Also remember SBS6403H that citaro which flipped over in the Bukit Batok Int accident? Its stated as Deregistered but the fate is still unknown, currently its still impounded by traffic police but once its over, it might be scrapped as well☹️
Damnn❤❤😢😢😢
the CITARO is very badly designed. the exhaust on the right?? smoking all the ppl at bustops, very noisy and very very poor pickup.
@@rgravi Yeah clearly the Citaros are not well suited in a humid country like singapore cause truth be told, the air conditioning system on the citaros is really bad. Citaros can generally be found in countries like UK, Japan, South Korea, Germany and i dont think their weather there is that humid, so the Citaros arent really fit for countries like SG
The bus that was involved was 858 as 858 was the only one that goes through that intersection
@@ljd2004 Citaro is parallel import vehicle
Security is very tight at woodlands temp park. There are 4 security officers during the day & night. How do you managed to go inside Wdlands temp park and enter the SMB5012 bus and take video recording? Unless you are a bus captain
someone send the pic to him
Please try not to post accident footages online especially when bus is already parked in the bus depot which is a guarded compound.
Even though the accident bus video footage maybe taken by a staff there but you will get him or her in deep trouble if the company is aware of it!
@@wangkangha0 its a staff. zc is not a staff member
Press F to respect for SMB5012T.
RIP SMB5012T: 2014 to 2022

SMB5012T is unlucky
Structural roof damage it seems, so yeah there's no way that's ever going to be repaired. Incident is similar to one of the MAN A22s that was sent to the scrapyard precisely because of structural damages.
I think some are being sent to Melbourne Australia.
For an increase of capacity in the North East and Western suburbs
One other bus was also scrapped early due to an accident: It is SBS6132P
Before that 6145 was written off.
I never rided on the SMB5012T since I'm not from Singapore, (or something like that) my area has been replacing old buses with buses that are hybrid or electric.
Singaporean bus Enthusiasts will miss them tbh.
nooooo…rip E500mmc in Singapore…
Do a video about SBS6403H pls
I think they hit something that is too short and it bend the roof and disconnect the second deck pillar
SMB5012T got into an accident due to an crane collide with SMB5012T
What a short lifespan for SMB5012T Only 8 Year's of service
I feel like it is just like how the CDGE busses were suddenly dissepearing last year
This Is Very Shocking, Even Though I Dont Come From Or Live In Singapore
wut?
Wrost year ever
yah
i'm not from Singapore, its very sad for a recent bus to go. it will be missed by many bus enthusiasts RIP 2014-2022
oh
its only one bus
@@electro_sykes well other countries did the same thing
Hey ZC can I use your video as I do not have enough clips about SMB5012T
ZC how u got the pictures of the Inside of SMb5012T?
Sad for SMB5012T😢
Is that why Hong Kong have the buses now?
nope
That fast wow in Hong Kong it will probably be longer than 8 years
The heck??? What happened
the description said the bus went to scrap
@@coolman444 ofc I know.... I SAID what HAPPENED
@@coolman444 he mean what happen that gone into this scrap
Heard that it was involved in a serious accident which is heavy damaged and is unable to fix so it just deregistered and sent to scrap
@@GuestHypR 5012T got hit by a crane
noooo i ride this bus always in 857 when it still SMRT
wait what?
I wondered why did SMRT scrap SMB5012T when they can just cut off the roof and convert it into an open-top bus/single deck. Slightly wasteful.
Basically, bridge strike buses tend to have this conversion, and then two B7RLEs (RU4290D and RU3720L) are converted from DD to SD.
5012 could have been rebuilt as an E300
@@andrewsitu3472 More like a 3-axle single deck Enviro 500, which is just SBS997A (but ADL).
@@陈劲恺 997 was 15m SD.
@@andrewsitu3472 I know. A single deck 5012 just reminds me of 997A.
I can understand why smrt retired this because smrt not only not have enough funds due to the lost of bus packages but also they are inexperienced in dd repair as u know they have more experience with bendies so they can rebuild the hispano habit which was burnt. But 1 more thing before in 2010 sbs9888y why can't sbs rebuild it. Even smrt can repair their skeleton hispano bit why not sbs9888y
SBS cannot find parts of step-entrance B10TL SBS9888Y when it is burnt. Even with that; I think 11 year old bus does not make sense to replace when they could at least buy B9TL WEG2 off the shelf. And SBS extends DD bus lifespans too; except for some of the VO2X.
The b10tl is low floor.....
@@ItsRabootOfficial B9TL CDGE was current and B9TL WEG2 was current in 2010s era.
Although LO3X, VO3X and B10TL were no longer in production anymore, they cannot make anymore of these.
For SMRT Buses, O405G Hispano Habit were built in 2000-2009 era, but the advent of MAN NG363F and Enviro500 no longer have a need to repair old buses.
It is sad to see these things go, but all things come to an end. It's inevitable...
yah
Are anymore E500s getting scrapped or only this unfortunate accident bus?
just one bus
Wait how u in the bus and rip smb5012g
bro if they could rebuild an entire hispano habit bendy bus from a fire why cant they repair a broken upper deck on a double decker like enviro 500?
Right that is what they need to do
Ok
@@tib1243sstudios I think it is not enough funds to rebuilt and Singapore is on transition stage to Electric Vehicle (EV), where the deadline is near.
The bus was not call smb5012g is smb5012t
wait what?
Rest in peace smb5012t 😢
Farewell
In all fairness if it was damaged beyond repair it its not worth saving it.
Wait wut that bus only just start service in 2014 and now they want to scrap it?????
i know right
heaty. alot of heat signature
Thats sad 😥
as a hongkonger, looks suspiciously familiar
yah cause hongkong also have enviro buses
@@coolman444 Yeah and they are some that retired early due to accidents and fires
May I ask how u managed to take photos in the bus?
i think someone send him.
Why can't Singapore donate those buses to The Philippines?
the bus is left door while PH is right door
but some how I still see one old CDGE bus on 147 recently(it is true. maybe SBST forgot that bus(
it produces ALOT of HEAT. Enviro not really "enviro"
lol
What no way! I was released in 2014.
I might miss the creaking problem of the enviro 500 ik i m weird
Saw that bus last time
my favourite bus??

They lazy to repair I think
@@MrColinTheBusDriver wow
1:04 smb5012t
oof
they could rebuilt like the hispano habit with new seat covers and aircon
what about total cost??? (if it worth over order new car)
But now instead of spending money.This bus is very expensive plus it has to be kept to be repaired.But stupid, smrt buses throw it to junk and wasted all their stupid money only on the bus but lazy to repair.
I take B9TL CDGE before even scania euro4 and enviro 500
