  When I took 16 from Nicoll Highway (Suntec City) to Orchard Road (Orchard Station) yesterday, I was charged 85 cents on EZlink.
  
  But when I count the stages, it's only 3.5! Was I overcharged, or did I count wrongly?

  Nicoll Highway = Stage 38
  Orchard MRT = Stage 42.5
  42.5 - 38 = 4.5 = $0.85

  Alright then.. Thanks, I understand now. I kinda miscalculate the stages between Suntec to Orchard MRT.
  
  My personal opinion though is that Suntec and Orchard seems so near. I will normally walk when I'm not in a hurry.

  Or the one for some high-octane petrol (Caltex i think) that says "Training for my PILOT's licence"

  Got some confusion with the air-con brands in the SBST Leyland Olympian and Volvo Olympians A/C double-deckers :
  
  In sgwiki - it states Nippon Denso for the above-mentioned fleets.
  
  In Danny Chan's Singapore Bus Handbook; it states Nippondenso for Leyland Olympians and Sutrak for Volvo Olympians (batch 2+3)
  
  But I saw a photo of Volvo Olympian and SMRT smiley volgren in Denso webpage
  
  http://www.denso.com.au/busac_main.htm
  
  anyone can clarify? thks..
