  S17 is quite challenging in certain sectors..I hope after this can try svc 3 split duty..

  AM 1 and half trips(T2-T1/T1-T2/T2-T1 off service and charge for 4 hours)

  PM 1 trip (T2-T1)

  Sundays rest time.

  Today start operating lliao. According to FB page BBusingapore, the ride is similar to MAN A22 but quieter cus of the electric motors. Wish that it explode (seriously hate china - my opinion )

  The BYD K9 electric bus should be reliable. Even the Japanese are buying the BYD K9. BYD is the first automobile manufacturer to enter the Japanese market
