Font of Bus Service Number getting uglier and not standardiz
-
can we have a nicer-looking and more standardized font for service numbers at the front of the buses please...for goodness sake...SBS Transit is really messing things up..
and also, please bring back the display format of the good old days where the destinations interchanges/terminals are displayed at the flanks of the service number in front...
sometimes i spotted those superbuses Volvo Olympian having weird fonts that makes me really going to puke..without the destinations somemore..especially in Service 51 of those nice superbuses
seems that SBS Transit is discarding the display of destination at the front of the buses
1 more unusual encounter on bus 143, this service was recently extended from Teban Gardens to Jurong East interchange, the desination displayed on the left of the route number is "Toa Payoh", but that displayed on the right is "Jurong East Int", why did they put the word "Int" anyway...so weird..it's so redundant...to indicate the service is heading towards Jurong East Interchange???, how about Toa Payoh???
SBS Transit is not understanding the importance of standandization??? It's making a mess of the display plate, with some of its ugly font...why can't they standandize things...like in the army where everything has to be standandized -
But isn't the old design small and cluttered, especially the 3 digit service numbers?
-
yes i dun like it too. but it seems better for the three digit numbers i must agree.

I prefer the TIBS displays on their Hispanos.

I believe they drop the destinations is due to that they would be able to re-use the destos should there by a change in terminating points.
-
I believe the destinations were taken out as they were to small to see from afar especially 3 digit services eg 196. It used to be listed as Clementi and Bedok. That "squeezed" the svc number too close together. In addition the destos on the side would have a better indication on where the bus actually plies and to which destination it's heading

I agree, it is actuallyu easier to tell 101 svc no. than 161, bcos 161 has destination written.Originally posted by Acx1688:I believe the destinations were taken out as they were to small to see from afar especially 3 digit services eg 196.

I also remember once when I was going to Woodlands from Jalan Kayu. I can take bus 168 or 858. However, while I was waiting for either of these two buses, bus 858 came and it said on the Hispanos that Woodlands interchange. In Jalan Kayu near the Seletar Camp, there are two bus stops. I was in the bus stop which it said that "Bus 168 and 858
Woodlands" However, that particular bus 858 stopped at the other bus stop which is going to Changi Airport. That really made me confused. Later, another bus 858 came from Jalan Kayu flyover and then I realised that that bus 858 which stopped at the other bus-stop was heading to Changi Airport and apparently, the bus driver had forgotton to do something on the Hispanos. -
There's a differentiation between TIBS[SMRT buses] and SBST. Firstly, SMRT buses have destos on the front because the buses left side only indicate the sv no. For SBST, only the front indicate the svc number coz on the left side it actually shows the destination it's heading and the roads it plies. Personally i think that SBST side desto plates are more beneficiary as passengers are able to confirm where they are going before boarding as the destos are normally near the entrance. For SMRT, you have to go to the front and wait for the info to flash.Originally posted by LazerLordz:I prefer the TIBS displays on their Hispanos.
However, SBST also have Electronic Destos on the front from their Dennis Tridents, VSO[SBS9810X], SBS997A,SBS998Y,etc -

It displays TOA PAYOH INT, not TOA PAYOH.
