Yea, for alot of services. but it happened quite some time.Would love for those text to be gone though. Voice announcements (recorded/played live by BCs) would be more effective.

Observed 178's schedule today.
Surprisingly they dragged the S102 slot to start at around 1515 and start trip at about 1650 and calls out from my side, but well, That worked as the timing was right and got many crowds, and hope they won't complain the frequency after this though, but the bad thing is all buses got dragged which means some slots got swapped.

SMB4A no more rear EDS.
TIB480E has 2 extra A/c outlets at the green A/c ventilators cover.
TIB733B no more rimguards.

A 20 year old Chinese man was arrested for trying to kiss a 28 year old female passenger on a SBST bus. The incident happened on Tuesday, around 9pm on a 161 DD. The bus was travelling along HG Ave 4, and the man walked to the door, wanting to alight when he suddenly grabbed a woman's hand and leaned over in a bid to kiss her. The woman managed to fend him off and told the BC about it. The BC stopped the bus immediately and locked the man alone in the bus after telling the other passengers to alight.
While waiting for the police to arrive, the man became teary as he sat on the seat the woman had occupied. Other passengers said the man looked decent but his actions were shocking, and it was lucky that the woman had reacted in time to push him away.
The DD involved has a Sony ad.

Observed 969 from Tampines today.
The queue was quite long and surprisingly no bendies deployed (both as TQ and afternoon shift) and the afternoon shift bendy (usually taken by 981B) was replaced by 584P and imagine the queue that stretched quite long and people choosing to take the next bus.
Saturday add in 2 fleets, Sunday add 1 in with a PM-Shift bendy might as well make it 6 full day with atleast 1 standby bendy more better.

The problem with 969 is always bendies on split-shift..I would prefer if at least 3 bendies are on full day. -
Jus now I go people's park buy KOI , waiting for the drink tat time , I saw one OC500LE ( didnt take note of the vehicle no. ) on bus srv 970 . THE BUS WAS SUPER DIRTY. The rear was covered wif mud , I tink. The whole of SMRT livery ( the red black white ) stripes couldnt be seen . Same goes for the back . And the back of the bus was rather odd too , the number displayed was rather smaller compared to other OCs.

167 should replace some of their lances for bendies, WL side just have to swap 480E's slot for a bedny should do just nice.
