  Rmembered SBS3578G on 291's cameo yrs ago, the exit door broke/jammed and cannot be closed no matter what the driver did, so the passengers were evacuated to take the next bus which was SBS9234J

  Not to forget those nac dds that appeared on 291:SBS7206D,SBS7238L,SBS7280D,SBS7292D,SBS7291G,SBS7292D,SBS7293B and SBS7296T(and maybe more?) and those ac vo3x that appeared in 291 for a short time

  SBS700P was the first refurbed MK3 I took

  Also remembered a rainy morning ride on SBS701L on 18 as it scratched it's side with a pickup truck's left mirror when overtaking a car in a traffic jam, no damage done to the paintjob and moves on, bus was transferred to HGDEP abt 1-2 weeks later to be in TRG, also came to my mind was SBS776X coming everytime when I missed SBS701L

  I believe that he spotted it during the IMF period in 2006.
  Some of the AMDEP Mercs were posted to HGDEP, whereas the SLBP Mercs were posted to BBDEP.

  Service 27 had perm MB0405s in the past before the Volvo MK4s came into SBS fleet in late 1995.

  There was one period in 1999-2001 when some 0405s were under HGDEP. And in Sept 2004 there were also some 0405s in HGDEP too when service 100 came under HGDEP controlled. All the 0405s were eventually transferred out.

  Still remembered last time when the MRT started service between Yio Chu Kang and Toa Payoh, PWD constructed a bus terminal at Yio Chu Kang.  Service 76 was then introduced with the former SABS 0303 (or 0309?) registered as SBS1 to SBS8 as part of its fleet of buses.

  Took joyrides in them between my home along Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 to my primary school along Ang Mo Kio Ave 9. 

  Also remembered taking the first generation LA on Service 132, 165 and 166 that pass by my place to town and other places together with my mother............
