  138 (weekday) also gone missing... saturdays and sundays were gone sometime early tis year..
  
  the changes must have took place on the Mon, 4th July, a week after the school reopens, to coincide with the quarterly revision of frequencies.

  tis is new.. so SBS does a quarterly review of frequencies? no wonder! but some svcs has the same freq range since 1999.. also, note that sv400 weekends (8-12 mins) also got ETA boards le..weekdays could be sufficient, like 138.
  
  how come sv68, CT svcs dont have metal fixed ETA? dont tell me especially CT, still under "trial"

  Reviews need not mean freequency changes in the end
  
  Sv 68? Should have 40 mins frequency, but maybe on trial
  
  CT svs? Because it is not a basic bus sv..
  
  N.B. Sv 115 used to have a ETA info plate "Plastic laminated" type... Is it still around?

  68 was suppose to be on trial.. But.. i think.. the loads made this 'Trial' goes on and on... They're just keeping quiet.. if im not wrong, 115 is another trial service by SBST..

  Is there a Townlink 269?
  
  Services 68, 115 and the CT services ETAs use the wooden boards attached to the bus stop poles.

  they always mention tat when some pax asked through official media like ST why his bus takes so long to come.
  
  anyway, it also happens tat whenever a new school term starts, it's a good time to consolidate load data and review the frequencies of a svc.

  CT18 buses are using MK3s and there are no perm MK3s on service 229 as far as I know. These buses may have come from other Bedok feeders.

  I saw this kind of situation a few times already. But most of the time, i see the CT18s on Service 69.
  
  I once saw a service 229 with a CT18 desto in it and the rego was the same (SBS 857)

  Back to the topic. I found out from a BC that the BC does not even know that the ETAs are missing! I remember the MK4 was with a LEXMARK ad at the back of it.
  
  WHen i showed him that it was missing, he laughed!

  BCs usually don't notice if the ETA plates on bus stop poles are missing or not.
