I thought 196 also has lots of students on it. It passes by NUS High, all those Dover Rd schools, etc. So why is the problem so rampant on 3?
I have no idea as to why the problem is so rampant on 3 either, since I only take it for short distances (From Tampines Int/Tampines Ave 2 to my house, or from Pasir Ris Int to my house.) -

Is the CCTV based on service or by bus model??Some Mk IV had CCTV installed after 911 attack while all BT10L and BT9L and K230 had CCTV only that the VSO CCTV is black and white, look like a camera photo, while the others are coloured. only one bad thing is that BT9L CCTV cannot see first row, therefore, you could still eat there or (an evil plan saw in old threads) change front desto and make the driver thing why he could choing so fast...69,11,8,88 would not work...still prefer eds, cannot be sabo and easy to change route

On DDs the front desto's opening is on the upper deck so that's possible if there are no passengers on the upper deck. -

Not all K230 have CCTV and some VSO have new installed CCTV apart from the black and white one.

Channel NewsAsia - Friday, May 16
Full—day bus lanes extended to 11 CBD locations from June 2
SINGAPORE: Driving in the Central Business District will be a different experience from June 2. That’s when full—day bus lanes will be extended to 11 new locations.
The extension is in addition to such lanes already in operation along six stretches of roads, like Orchard Road and Eu Tong Sen Street.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said since the scheme was started in 2005, average bus speeds along these roads have improved by between 10 and 23 percent during non—peak periods.
It added that the improved bus travelling speeds help make the bus commute a more attractive and pleasant option, and encourages more commuters to take public transport.
The extension is to ensure more roads remain clear to enable buses to give their commuters a faster and smoother journey during the operational hours of 7.30am to 8pm from Mondays to Saturdays, except on public holidays.
To ensure the scheme’s effectiveness, LTA will be introducing enforcement cameras onboard buses — to be used to record bus lane infringements. The cameras will work in tandem with the current warden scheme.
The penalty for bus lane infringements is a S$130 fine. But no demerit points will be imposed on the driver. — CNA/ir/al
