unknown MAN A22 with silver body on its side at liannex
2x low lying branch, one along PIE and one on BKE just before Bukit Panjang exit, SMB5040L (190PM02) hit onto the first one at PIE, causing a loud "bump", but lucky nothing happened as bus was travelling rather slowly due to rain, and when BC saw the low branch at BKE, he quickly swerved the bus towards the right before going into the exit. BC later notified BOCC about the low lying branches...

this time, that MAN A22 not there already. instead, saw unknown habit bendy today
anyway, went to the area near WLBP by driving... yes indeed, that "converted" citaros for SMRT is there. as for new A95, i only saw 5747 or 5740 park at the perimeter of the bus park but cant see the others (most probably they park at the middle)

I think Wlbp is already bursting with new buses and the transferred A24s,Thus its not impossible to see some new A95s park at Bulim for the time being.
Today 903 like got 4 O405Gs,2 A24s and 4 A22s.
SMB3080J and SMB3081G gotten new logos.
Last week are still old logos.

Not the full picture. The A95s are parking in the TT section, along with other TT buses.

purposely skip 3 SG buses (back to back) just to wait for 34xx wright
SBS3440U on 43 is scheduled to arrive at Buangkok MRT bus stop towards UEC at 6:47 am. However, it left even before I arrived at 6:44 am.
SBS6489K on 43M arrived at 6:56 am completely full. Many passengers alighted, but I could not board (along with half of the passengers).
Almost immediately after SBS6489K left, SBS3461J arrived. We boarded the bus, and it was rather empty with many double-unoccupied (empty pairs) seats on the upper deck.
The bunching continued all the way to the junction of Buangkok Green and YCK Road.
By the time SBS3461J left the last bus stop at Buangkok Green, there were standees near the door, and the upper deck was fully seated.
SBS3440U crossed the bridge along YCK Road over AMK Ave 3 at (estimated) 6:57 am, while SBS3461J crossed at 7:23 am. Even if a bus was added directly in between, it still doesn't meet LTA requirements for frequency.

Hi mr sbs3004X, the 2nd paragraph shows sbs 43M is needed along Punggol mrt to buangkok mrt sector. This is in huge contrary to other forumers who keep saying that the sbs 43M should be re-routed from serangoon to buangkok and the remaining route should be deleted. So many residents will have missed out if re-routed. Cheers. Thanks.
I've noticed serveral times during evening peak where 258's queue have less than 15 people while the queue for 243G never stops coming
My berth suggestion for BNL, based on my observations and from other forum members suggestions on swapping 258 and 256's berths
Berth B1: 179A, 179, 193
Berth B2: 192, 241, 242
Berth B3: 243G, 258, 181
Berth B4: 243W, 256, 199
Berth B5: 240, 251, 172, 405
Berth B6: 180, 178, 187
Note: I wanted to put 180 and 172 together but as both buses operate on quite a number of bendies, I feel it is best to not put them together in the same berth
Pros: The buses heading to Gek Poh from BNL are all grouped together, in the case where 258 arrives before 243G, people heading to St 81 can board 258 instead, same for 256 and 243W. 192 can help clear a bit of 241's loading for people alighting at Street 63.
Cons: Putting 179 AND 179A together in the same berth, I'm not sure if this is a great idea though at least it is at the very end of the interchange where the human traffic isn't as high as the alighting and other berths
Nowadays when I am in the queue for Svc 169 @ TWBI...
Svc 169 has really downgrade its fleets to mostly rigid ah? Seems like two weeks, I've been taking rigids and at occasion a bendy or rarely a DDs like it use to be...
Yst, while I was queue, one of the SMRT Staff ask the SMRT auntie (Peck Har or Peng Har.. Managed to capture the name tag but glance once), Svc 169 very long queue ah... Her reply was so easy "Every day also like that one..."
Since she know every day like that one, do something lorhx... Dun just say...
Like yst, SMB 3536 L was on 960... Today this bus is back on 169... So where is the DD fleet of Svc 169?
