  I do not have the photos as the bespectacled female BC is quite fierce and bus quite packed did not take any pix.
  
  Please board the bus yourself to see. it is NOT flushed to driver panel but a box like console.

  I repeat i board SBS8047P this morning, Mar 20 around 1030hrs and saw the console tts all, there may be other stuff YET TO BE INSTALLED in the bus...
  I ASSUMED that there would be a panel for bus stop display...

  I would call it Bus Announcement Control (or BAC) instead of PIS as it is not offcially named as a "PIS" unlike SMRT Buses. It would be nice if SBS Transit integrates the display into the Citaro on top of the "Stopping" light.

  So it's like the SMRT hang there?

  Not surprised if this bus MIA for few days.

  Probably above the poster frame, easier for people to see...

  But if packed will not for all. Those standing at front door cannot see. Best is 1 at the poster frame and 1 hang at the top like SMRT and both sides can see.

  Gonna take a long time before they complete all this. Still got ez-link card reader and now this....

  Maybe it follows Citybus Young man panel
  
  
  
  or Citybus E400
  
  
  
  or Salzburg, Austria MAN 3 axle bus rt.25

  See I predicted SBST will play catch up and follow SMRT example install PIS~

  Proven SMRT is faster and better planning than SBST~ PIS best suited on Citaro~

  If LTA regulation SMRT is setting new standards not SBST. SMRT have more F1RST than SBST~

  Hope SBST doors must change to SMRT door closing~

  It's more of SBST's initiative.

  Ah yes, it's useful for services that are ‘‘陌生’’ to me.

  Seems like there will be announcements too. Sekali also play "Please hold on to the handrails" and "Thank you for travelling with SBS"

  Does the console look something like this? This is actually MVG (Munich, Germany) version, I find it quite similar to the Salzburg one.
