P.S. Even the BC of SBS3462G knew that SBS3458U was on 43 even though he didn't see the EDS! It might have been on cameo though.
Update: SG5316U may be replacing SBS3458U temporarily.

I remember that but then the way they deploy buses... A bit messy...
SMB126G displaying
Had been seeing more 975 buses arriving frequently at CCK around 6:30am... Seems like SMRT already start many downroutes from LCK to BPJ.

Good that they are starting to care about 975..

They got no choice..They have to convince BPJ/CCK residents from now..Already lost Bt Batok,They cant afford to lose Yishun as well.
SMB3018R with the new announcement machine...
SMB3140U on 941AP01 with the announcement machine operating, but no sound of any announcement...
SMB5031M was involved in an accident @ BPJ about few weeks ago.. Seen parking at WLBP..
Currently SMB5026D SMB5031M SMB5082R are down making up 213 / 216 DD buses on revenue service (excluding SMB5001A SMB5002Y)
-
SMB1553A MIA from its "original" parking lot, probably undergoing another paintjob for its "torn" livery..
SMB5028Z got side-swiped.. Currently parking at WLBP..
-
All SG-plated Citaro buses for SMRT went to AMDEP.. in return WLDEP gets back A22..

Amdep/Kjdep should give a total of 40 OCs to Wldep..The A22s really cannot tank their feeders/Intratown loadings to compliment the bendies.
took SBS6371R on 66 2 days ago... got the new annoucement machine
yes, they did have annoucement being played about few seconds after departing from bus-stop. like eg "next stop, block 1--4--0
the only problem is the annoucement too soft. if u stand near the speakers, can hear it but still soft
and btw right... do u all know that citaros have already built-in speakers way before they have the annoucement machine? while wrights, dun have. thats why wrights no annoucement. unsure about MAN A22s
and this bus got back the dress rim covers as well
TIB1083L cameras all removed...
**The ones on TIB1032J and TIB1097Y are still intact
in case anyone doesnt know, at eunos int,
service 76 share berth with service 154 [good choice haha]
service 150 share berth with services 93 & 94

most likely because MAN A22 doesnt have any built in speakers
saw a SBS citaro parked in the bus bay with a 3S transport bus at CCK North 5 area. EDS was not on. The 2 drivers were chatting with each other, it dosent seem like there was an accident as there was no damage to both buses. Was wondering whether this is allowed...

Bus bay? you mean the Heavy Veh Pk beside Woodlands Road?
Service 43 worst frequency ever:
28 minutes. Again, it was caused by the massive jam at YCK Road, along with the very quick change in traffic light signals.
The bus (SBS3004X, shift 14A) arrived at Buangkok MRT bus stop on schedule (6:57 am), but was more than 10 minutes late when it crossed the bridge on YCK Road over Hougang Ave 3 (7:25 am). The scheduled time between the two places is 18 mins!
There was a 43M SD just 1 minute ahead, but it is still a frequency epic fail. I wonder if there are any downroutes from YCK Road second bus stop.
Even the off-peak direction frequency is better than this. There are also more DDs in the off-peak direction, strangely.
SBST should really add 1 or 2 SG53xx DDs temporarily, which will be replaced when GAG takes over 43.

I just wonder who got the information to tell me that it has been back on perm service last month after the accident...

i mean the bus stop area
- move from Misc thread -
apparently the BC of SG1747K on 979M went the wrong way at 2.45pm after the bus stop at Opp Blk 704 (45216, stop aft KJE)..was onb 3117M on 307, he turned right twds Blk 754 (45309, 307 route) instead of going straight. If i saw correctly, the BC was a 307 perm BC (probably explains it)
Luckily no pax onboard that time
