  You put that many Wrights and Citaros but no BCs to drive them, what's the point? You think the buses can move on their own uh? This is 2012, not 2112.

  Some buses don't know why they only put the destination points on the EDS.

  Not everybody knows it though.
  
  Anyway, the older format that shows "Start destination" "Changi Airport" "LOOP SERVICE" didn't show the direction of travel, which by today many of the commuter would refer to the signage for the direction of travel.

  This was the one I usually sees on the Scania K230UBs.

  Imagine the situation if 168 still held onto those Voith Wrights from BNDEP.

  STILL not as ironic as mine... 

  One 27 come, packed to the door everybody board, I smart enough knowing 27's inconsistent frequency, w8 for next bus. Then wat happened? Twenty SECONDS later, a COMPLETELY EMPTY 27 appeared in front if my face. I was the first passenger for that bus since that bus left the int. this happened 2 months ago, I boarded the HG bound 27 at tampines stn.

  Only one of them could be Citaro G, as the other have been confirmed to be MAN bendy.
