yes changi exhibition centre. though by right the warship visit starts at 0930hrs i think they opened it earlier at 9am instead... -
Spotted a rather strange thing on a route 167 bus this evening. I rode one (a Mercedes MB O405 with Hispano bodywork) all the way up to Sembawang Interchange; I fell asleep on the way and only woke up when the bus has reached the interchange. As I was getting up to alight, I noticed the next stop display displaying "WLDEP".
Did SMRT also program the bus depots into the system as bus stops as well?

Boarded TIB 727 U yesterday, saw this thing near the front of the bus, between the red display showing the name of the next bus stop and the "Bus Stopping" sign. Anyone know what it is and its purpose?

This was also used as a PIS together with a announcer. The announcements are very similar to the MRT, like "Next Stop, (insert bus stop name here)". But it was turned off after the trial finished.

A 87** KUB with Sv27 EDS spotted travelling on SLE near mandai flyover towards woodlands yesterday...
-
Sv265 started using White/Red Plate today.. White plate (towards St 51). Red Plate (towards AMK Depot)... but does not see the point of using this red/white plate also.. EDS reformatted to include AMK interchange as one of the road it serve... they should have try to reformat the side EDS to show the direction of travel instead.
not sure whether 8110/8114/8115 are being redeployed or not. Not sure they will have any problem in entering/exiting AMK Interchange...
-
Shakes head

Are the side destos repainted into one colour (except the words) or even placed at the front of the bus? -
50% of svc 99 fleet now using WAB buses
if lets say the other wrights (like 7602, 7607, 7609, 7611 & 7613) perm, then can go WAB service already. but i dun think the 76xx series will perm 99
