I saw SBS9271B along Scotts Rd around 2:30 pm, the front & rear destos were turned around but there were people inside! There were people alighting also. The rear desto was 143 (towards Toa Payoh), so did it go off shift halfway or what?

A few weeks ago, I saw the Service 66 back desto on SBS 1792S turned upside down. Imagine a normal person mistaking it as a bus on Service 99!

Thats nothing. I saw a Box Merz on Monday serving 965A with a 857 rear desto!Originally posted by TWS4793:A few weeks ago, I saw the Service 66 back desto on SBS 1792S turned upside down. Imagine a normal person mistaking it as a bus on Service 99!

No, I did mention that there was a ruckus created between the two passengers and the BC on SBS 2717D, probably some problems with their EZ-Link Card and the two passengers were probably furious over their EZ-Link cards been taken away. As a result, the bus arrived late at Bedok North Bus Interchange.Originally posted by service_238:what logic are you talking? -
And TIB775E on 852 with 67 side EDS on SaturdayOriginally posted by TIB1049L:Thats nothing. I saw a Box Merz on Monday serving 965A with a 857 rear desto! -
It's not unusual, it's perm. Some 857 buses do crossover to 965A in the morning.Originally posted by TIB1049L:Thats nothing. I saw a Box Merz on Monday serving 965A with a 857 rear desto! -
894U's rear EDS is jammed in the "OFF SERVICE". It always displays that behind but the side EDS & front display 180.Originally posted by SBS9806J:And TIB775E on 852 with 67 side EDS on Saturday -
Maybe something wrong, no boarding but still can alight.Originally posted by SBS9806J:I saw SBS9271B along Scotts Rd around 2:30 pm, the front & rear destos were turned around but there were people inside!

It happened to me a few years ago, when 3 of the Ez-link readers on 1861Z (cameoing on 179) could not work. Only one at the rear could work. Then the driver turned the front desto around and continued driving, only letting passengers alight. -
Just now I was preparing to leave Bedok North Bus Interchange when SBS 0486H (60 BRBP) passed by me. I went to take a closer look at the bus. Why?
The engine sound suddenly turned creaky and the noise was quite strange.
Another bus I noticed was SBS 0933J (18 BNDEP). I was at the side of the road when I heard something quite unusual from the bus: the engine sound was like one of the SMRT Merc Hispanos! But I couldn't confirm whether this fact was true-the bus was quite fast even though I managed to take a photo of it. -
180(TIB903C)
A mid-age woman keep begging people for money from everyone onboard & those who board at every bus stop aft she board the bus at Boon Lay Int & paid her fare(or did she???) so she has money for food.
When she sat opp my seat, I can hear the sounds of many coins inside her pocket & she keep asking people for money!
She was still on the bus when I alighted at Bt Panjang Rd. -
Bunching of buses is quite common. Just now at about 1847hrs, two Service 225 buses were seen bunching together when leaving the interchange. The first one is SBS 3685E, next was SBS 0651Y, a cameo bus, former 291 BNDEP. I have the photo, the two backside pictures of SBS 3685E and the actual one I am taking, SBS 0651Y.
The picture will be up on my gallery (http://sbs9199c.fotopic.net) soon. Please view it. Thanks. -

Two unusual happenings on buses...
1. TIB 0779U made three crazy rounds about the bus park at Bedok North Bus Interchange just now due to the lack of parking. Worse still, the bus mounted kerb when it finally came out of the bus park! I saw it at about 1358hrs at Bedok North Bus Interchange.
2. Two unusual occurences on SBS 2990E.
1. A big family of Malays (about 10 of them) boarded the bus just before it was about to turn out of the bus stop and onto Bedok Reservior Road. They were quite noisy and blocking the passageways which attracted not only my attention, but also other people's attention.
2. The engine of the bus suddenly went dead before it was turning out of the bus stop opposite Block 745 of Bedok Reservior Road. Anxious of getting the breakdown ticket, I made quite a scene by running from the middle of the bus to the front to see what happened. But the BC managed to restart the engine soon after. -
Why are you so kanchiong? CNG buses are notorious for stalling because the CNG is not delivered to the engine properly. Breakdown then breakdown la. Behave yourself in public for goodness sake.Originally posted by TWS4793:2.

But at least they should remove the desto in case of confusionOriginally posted by off_service:It's not unusual, it's perm. Some 857 buses do crossover to 965A in the morning. -
Ya lor. Take SBS2995S on 143 before, engine stall at Env Bldg. BC still let people board the bus, and he managed to restart the engine.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Why are you so kanchiong?

I'm probably too anxious because it was something in my mind that pushed me to do it. That's why I said I am normally quite impatient with a lot of things.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Why are you so kanchiong?

Does new and latest CNG buses also suffer from this?Originally posted by SBS9818A:Why are you so kanchiong? CNG buses are notorious for stalling because the CNG is not delivered to the engine properly. Breakdown then breakdown la. Behave yourself in public for goodness sake. -

1 - I dont find it unusual.. Itz normal for buses to go round the interchange for a few times before they can find a parking lot. It is not surprising to me when Bedok Interchange so much Services that it could actually can. I think you shld try to venture out of Bedok.. Wait till you see Hougang and BoonLay.

2 - Unusual ? no comments. A bus is not a library.. Dont expect people to board the bus and keep quiet. I'm sure you as a student, when boarding a bus with a group of friends will keep your volume down.
3 - Kinda normal to me.. Wait till you try a CNG which stalled in the middle of Pan-Island Expressway. And for god's sake, do behave yourself. Engine Stalled doesnt mean that there is a breakdown.
