  Look if you want to be enthusiastic, it's ok, but there's protocol to observe still, alright? Reacting over-excitedly doesn't reflect your enthusiasm, rather it reflects childishness and stupidity.
  

  I don't wanna get personal, so I'll just stop right here. Tell me at which point it goes over protocol, because I don't see any harm in talking about observations on the road.

  Sidetrack a little. To me, your so called explanation on enthusiasm isn't real enthusiasm. You are just enthusiastic about finding out classified information from the bus companies. In other words, just being a busybody. Enthusiasm has something constructive towards it. Your enthusiasm isn't.
  
  Once again, I repeat again, do not post speculations or even observations of any kind on this board (especially if there's nothing official from the relevant authority/company side). Please wait for official information from the relevant authority/company. I like to draw your attention to the MRT map incident which was reported in The New Paper a few weeks back.

  I never did once asked for classified information. The only things I've put down here so far are observed information, and I have asked for only the same.
  
  The MRT map incident, that was partially fabricated. Names of places and lines put down before any information came out about it.

  What's the purpose of 182 going to Tuas Checkpoint when going towards Tuas south? It's not like it can pick up there's any members of public coming from the checkpoint by foot. And if it's for the staff in the checkpoint, don't they want to go towards Boon Lay instead of industrial Tuas?

  for checkpoint staff going to the checkpoint from Boon Lay. It will only go to the checkpoint at selected time slots, other times it will skip the checkpoint. And it can pick up any members of the public.

  I also estimate that svc 182 at selected times to skip the Tuas Ckpt is because to allow passengers from all over SG to travel to Tuas quickly without having to take a big loop at Tuas Ckpt.
  
  Remember, according to the Mighty Minds Singapore Transport Map, the arrangement of roads around Tuas Ckpt are:
  
  BL>Tuas: Can choose to turn left into Tuas Ind. Est. or straight to Tuas Ckpt B.S.
  
  BUT, Tuas>BL: ALL VEHICLES MUST turn left into the Tuas Ckpt B.S. in order to get back into Jln. Ahmad Ibrahim for Boon Lay and Eastern SG.

  Yes. It's a perm on 980. CSS310U was last served on 608 before transferring to SMRT fleet.

  Is SBS 2754 considered a special bus because its exit door is the same type as Dennis Trident and VSO and not the usual Mk2 3500. Correct me if I am wrong.

  Is there any possibility for the Jurong Industrial Services to be airconditioned?
  
  And should such things happen, when would it happen?

  Possible if SBST wants.
  
  Who knows? Maybe if they have excessive buses and nowhere to use.

  Yes, it is considered a special Mk4 DM3500 due to its plug door. The other special Mk4 DM3500 is SBS 2779 A, which has an electronic front desto.

  9889 operates during peak hours only. one departure time is 9.15am from HG to Clementi.
  
  as for 1688, not too sure, but if you take a regular 163 bus, u are sure to catch it on the opposite of the road some where

  the VO3x don't have this problem because the ventilators are at the back.
  
  But if you're talking about whether we can stand on the lower deck, the answer is yes.
