The
Public Transport Authority
advises:
The table on page 120 of the Public Transport Authority's Annual Report provides general information on Asset Classes and Useful (economic) Life. In the general class of "buses" the variation is 7 to 18 years. At 18 years and beyond they are often still useful, however their maintenance regime typically tends to become more costly after their 18th year of service.
