  The rear upper deck window was omitted in the batch 2 and 3 to allow for more space for advertisement during the good old days when advertisement did not cover the windows. Batch 3 was fitted/upgraded with LECIP signage as modernisation for the fleet.

  I dont get it actually when the bus EDS said 'EZ reader out of order,Please Pay Cash' 

  One example was 1233X on 913 just now, the EDS said that and it stopped in front of me and the commuters tapped the card as if the reader was fine. 

  Is this an EDS problem or it is legitimate?

  Not really a bus observation here but like to share this annoying kid or person he shouted because the bus arrived at int but havent board yet coz the end-on berth are empty. He shouted bus captain bus driver, hurry up. Then he ask one of the commuters why the bus never move off. I find him very irritating. I hope he's not a bus fan... But he mentioned bus captain, then i sense something hmmm. Btw this happened just now while i am waiting for bus 157 at boon lay

  Just imagine a citaro without the mercedes-benz logo at the wheels(front)

  That is called without dress rim covers.

  Alot of people has mistaken between rimcaps and rim covers. 

  If you remove the rimcaps of a bus, the bus wont even budge...

  Same applies to car, lorries and other type of vehicles.

  Sounds right. I almost travel to and fro where 7 plies but never see 7621 before, I think it is time to check what really happened. Don't tell me this bus go to depot change all the stuff and come out some funny bus.
