TIB555Z -- Due to fisherman's ad taking up the area around the side EDS, BC has no choice but to place the 188R fare range notice at the door. Usually, BCs will place the notice on the top of the side EDS or just beside the side EDS.
ADD-ON:
TIB555Z - rear right window rubber part loose (inside), leaving a big gap between the rubber and the window...
PIS also glitched, showing 'Please Move To To The Rear' once... -

SMB3075A on 951E or 850E today for AM. Spotted the bus leaving CTE Tunnel @ Kg Java towards WLDEP. Spotted at 8.30am
-
TIB788T on 188S111 today. Rear door have problem closing and for some stops, BC have to keep trying to close the door, and most of the time once the driver engage the handbrake, door can close.
TIB817T on off service spotted on CCK Drive towards CCK Road at 2225hrs. At that hour got 67 downroute? Or bus late then control room ask the BC to go somewhere to start trip so that can catch up time and bus wouldnt bunch together?

From cck Drive? Not expressway. Always see AMDEP buses off service use KJE one leh -

Thats why i say 817T may be going downroute. Coz i rmb 817 is always the last 2nd or 3rd bus towards Tampines

If I didnt rmb wrongly, its 495M. Duty code i dun know coz i seldom take 67. But i know TIB495M, TIB580A and TIB817T are definitely the last 3 buses towards tampines on weekdays, though i forgot the actual sequence.. -
Major interchange like Jurong(Temp)/Woodlands Reg/Bedok should have at least 5-6 alighting berths instead of 2-3....
Worst for Jurong(Temp), where private bus just anyhow park before the traffic light, and extending the long queue for buses to enter. Further more, the exit damn small for outside buses to get to the berth(the very first berth)
-
Actually all SMRT bus interchanges not a big problem to off service fo all depot except the upcoming Wenya.From Yishun back to Kjdep also not that long and the only problems is those terminating at SBST Interchanges like Eunos for 61,Tampines for 67,Marina Ctr for 75,960,Shenton Way for 106 & 970,NBR for 190,Harbourfront for 963,Lor 1 for 961,980 & 985.Thats why the importance for these cbd/eastern svc to hqve Amdep partial control.

You should just take a look at Boon Lay Int can already. With 179 being the trouble maker, long worm of buses can be seen queueing outside BNL and blocking the traffic light junction.

* SMB283K cleaned body & rims...
* TIB793C last row of seats not fix properly against the wall... Exit-view mirror is rectangular instead of round ones... Slamming its doors when closing...
* TIB794A on 960/911E slot, BC didn't bother to take out "960" rear desto... -
TIB779U with chilly air-con, like first time boarding it with a working and great air-con system...
-
SMRT buses are manually operated aircon while SBST is auto climate aircon.BCs of SMRT can set temp ranging from 17-25 degree excluding blower speed

Yeah, but even if there's air-con sound, TIB779U's ac won't be blowing any air out. Been like that for the past rides. Only today I get to board the bus with chilly aircon, strong air.
-
Merc OAC,CAC aircon can be either freaking cold or stuffy. But i do love the cold buses especially on long rides.
MAN buses are also really cold but the sad thing is u cant push the aircon away, Never rode on a stuffy MAN before
OC also have very good aircon, never had stuffy ride on that before when the OC perm 858
Citaro at times can be stuffy too idk why.
-
Saw 3 MAN with no Livery at Liannex.
-
PA4139M (Sentosa) - new front and side Mobitec EDS, but only side EDS working...
PA5279K (Sentosa Bus 1) - middle 'BUS STOPPING' / 'MIND THE STEP' sign spoilt, front door loose...
RU3720L (Beach Station > Siloso Point/Imbiah Lookout Service) - front EDS spoilt, showing a orange blob on top half of EDS, but side EDS fine... Need Mobitec EDS soon?
SBS7528A (SLBP 51) - now adless, but front upper window still got Malaysia Tourism 2014 ad leh...
SBS9478Y (HGDEP 51) - got red 51 perm tag, above the notice warning about the height of the bus...
TIB556X (KJDEP SP/188R) - BC turned on parallel lighting, but only the lights at front part (Between the PIS and middle 'BUS STOPPING' sign [which is not working
]) working, all rear lights all spoilt, except the last one... Love those thick bottom seat covers...
TIB600B (KJDEP 67) - middle 'BUS STOPPING' still using red LEDs...
Rear doors close loudly, like TIB547Y and TIB555Z... Front doors have faded SMRT livery on the outside, while the rear doors covered up with black, like TIB481C... -
SBS9661J on 10 was spotted at Opp Heng Mui Keng Terrace bus stop at 1.40p.m. 2 minutes later, SBS9666X came. Another 2 minutes later, SBS9809B came. Why did all those DDs come so frequently? Boarded TIB556X at 1.45p.m. and saw SBS6351Z at Opp Haw Par Villa Stn bus stop at 1.48p.m. This meant that SBS6351Z would arrive at Opp Heng Mui Keng Terrace bus stop at 1.51p.m, 7 minutes after SBS9809B. Wonder why all the DDs come so close to each other, causing the frequency to become so regular (2 mins) to irregular (7 mins)...
Suspect the buses behind SBS6351Z came at high frequencies... -
TIB1168B back rego almost cannot be seen, but it is easy to recognise from the back

You mean the whole rear of the bus (the condition of the bodywork at the back)?
