  The chinese words are 冷气 for A/C, forgot what is the exact word for current stop, and 下一站 for next stop. No messages pop out during the trip so im not sure if the messages will be in chinese. Bus was super late (constantly +8 mins) and kena alot of people.

  172 AM/PM off peak is really crazy..pity those drivers...

  Maybe they thought theyre in China..

  SBS9548D -- Super cold aircon especially upper deck. But ticket machine out of order and the right side ez link exit reader spoil.

  TIB734Z -- On 172 split today. BC speeding along old CCK road, bus has no speed limiter and therefore the bus speed was at around 70-75km/hr. Caught up with TIB759C on 975 near tengah air base stop and then BC slow down..was 7 mins ahead of schedule when reached CCK int at around 8.10pm.

  TIB717Z -- Spotted off service just before the stop opp Hai Inn See Temple (30081) at around 8pm. 975 downroute from there at 8pm??

  By the way since when did SMRT got their "Thank You For Folding Your Prams Before Boarding" Sticker? Saw majority of them pasted beside the entrance window, below side EDS..
  
  *SMB295B only shows route details of sv950, instead of "950" with route details, maybe EDS too small to fit in, or the EDS font is too big.

  Yesterday, saw SMB128B at 173 berth with EDS displaying 985W and it's route details!  He realised the mistake and changed the EDS to 173 before he started the trip! Got a big surprise from this.  He left Bukit Batok Int at about 4+p.m...

  PA5278M - the 'BUS STOPPING' sign inverted, both the 'BUS STOPPING' and the 'MIND THE STEP' signs spoilt... Only the 'BUS STOPPING' sign got flickering bulb that lights up the left of the sign when the bulb flickers on... 

  RU3722U - got new leather for the aircon ducts and new handgrips with new screws, but both the 'BUS STOPPING' and 'MIND THE STEP' signs still spoilt...

  SMB38C - interior panels very clean , but both 'BUS STOPPING' signs spoilt, only PIS and chime working... One of the rear exit door lights also spoilt...

  SMB93S - super clean interior panels 

  TIB547Y - got the best A/C on the O405s, super powerful and cold, even at about 30'C...

  TIB554B - one of the few O405s with all the interior panels (except the driver's cabin area, the doors and A/C panels) swapped with Batch 3 panels with the black aircon outlets... Last row middle seat got Volgren O405 seat cover...
