  This is clearly Loyang Avenue... But EDS is showing service 183A! This only happened after the bus left the bus stop at Loyang Ave, Opp 149A. From Pasir Ris int til this bus stop, EDS shows service 17 and there are clearly pasengers inside the bus (I saw this bus at PSR int and passengers boarding, as i was on a svc 12 DD). I do not know what happened after this, but commuters outside definitely would not know that this bus is doing service 17 route!

  SBS Transit better get some improvements in...but judging by the standard of KUB's,i won't bat an eyelid if they don't in the new batch.

  Wow at 1st I thought you edited it, but looking at it closely, it's real! BL Feeder at AMK! SVC24 BC key in additional on the panel bah, causing it to display 243W. So would expecting this bus to be quite quite empty when reach airport.

  Cheers.

  limited seats + jerky + prone to vibrations (except eev) + smelly.

  only saving grace is the aircon and the legroom
