Its not uncommon to see buses being modified when re-sold.

Its possible the new private bus owners may have bought these minibuses from SBS and had the exit door removed.

Bus is de-regged and not re-regged, its either sold overseas or scrapped.

i suspect this bus is one of the former SBS mini MB buses. I saw a few of similar ones as private buses and are still existent in sg roads.
