  OT: are RU plate vehicles allowed to drive around the mainland?

  The device is fully automatic. Did you see a screen-like thing when approacing the upper deck? It's a infrared sensor. When you move downwards, it will add 1 to the seat and when you move upwards, it will deduct 1 from the seat from the display downstairs. But usually some people doesn't walk past the sensor and the BC doesn't reset them during the start of the trip.

  Yesterday at Sentosa I sit on a bus(not tram) and realize that there is RU3178 Volvo.(forgot last letter) So maybe RU3179S may exist. (I am not sure about it). There are two tram which are Volvo B12BLE long vehicle. Is it a new or old bus?

  RU3178U is not a registered vehicle. Maybe this vehicles are used but not registered, cause they are not permitted to be on the roads.

  Old or new buses, I don't know. You have to ask experts like 'carbikebus'.

  Okay, I didn't see any B7RLE buses in Sentosa. Only those common white air-conditioned buses that are PA-registered.
