Favourite desto.

  Which no. displayed on the front desto is your favourite? My personal favourite is 074. The no. is compact and desto can afford to show lotsa detail. Yet the no. also very easy to recognize from far.
  
  I hate the 089 desto, no detail and no. is difficult to differentiate from 80, 88 so on! And the trident, I need to wait until 20m away, then can tell its 89.

  Hey, service 074 is my daily ride to school. I also like the desto and the front...
  
  Hougang-----74 ----Bouna
  Central ----------------Vista
  
  ... shows where the service piles to. I still remenber that in the 1990's, most buses had shown where it piles, but now only the number.

  most of sv74 back destos are the new ones.. maybe the old ones had a good response so SBST had to get in more to replace them.
  
  personally, i think sv170 old font front destos look the best. sv317 also not bad.. sv111 (SD) front destos also look good.

  There was a Nissan on 852 a few days back...I had new glasses summore and it was quite difficult to identify the number(whether it was 851 or 852 on Marymount rd)
  Furthermore it was driving so fast it almost drove off without me

  I like this AIR CON 3. Looked really nice on the UD.
  
  For info, AIR CON 3 was between Bedok and Jurong East. Withdrawn in 1990.

  The "2" on the old destos looked very much like "Z".
