  Always jam at Clementi MRT stop because of high volume of buses, and loading/unloading of pax.

• carbikebus

  high volume of buses also contribute to jams

  You mean stickered livery? Usually new buses get painted, but SMRT's Hispano Habits get repainted after refurbishment... Maybe some of the Ex-JB SMRT Hispano O405s and the last 6 Batch 3 O405s (TIB827P, TIB831B and TIB832Z) too...

  Also, the base white/beige colour of the MANs with original livery should be painted, only the side strips are stickered... Front and back strips all painted.

  Yesterday, SBS8368M's BC accidentally 按 the EDS to show '162' (> Shenton Way), instead of 162M, when I spotted it at Temasek Ave! Quickly, I alighted from my bus (SBS8169X on 36) and flagged down SBS8368M. When I boarded, I told the driver: "å�¸æœºï¼Œ 您好åƒ�把EDS按错了。“ He asked what it looked like in Mandarin. I said: "没有那个‘M‘ çš„." He got out from his seat to look outside and he found out what I meant. He thanked me and changed the EDS to 162M... Two stops later, I got off at The Eslpanade and he waved at me for helping him. Wonder who would have thought 162 'went' to Temasek Ave before Shenton Way?

  If I'm not wrong, based on yesterday's fleet, slots are:

  Yea... Tf I'm not wrong, should be TIB552G or TIB634D from 190 or a random bus for Saturdays... But, TIB549S confirm Sunday perm on 188RAP01.

  Spotted it at Opp Blk 113 at 4.43p.m, after TIB828L on 188R... I think it would have arrived at CCK Int at about 4.15p.m. and leave at about 4.35p.m... Going by the sequence AP06 > AP07 (TIB1126Y) > TQ1 (SMB1322A), I knew that SMB203S was 188AP06, though it was weird to see TIB891C on 188AP05...
