  so can I say HGDEP, AMDEP and some other depots [can list if anyone knows?] had LO3X when they were new? personally, i only saw the influx of LO3X into JRBP services [ like 157, 197, 51] only at around late '95/96. i believe that a few JR services had actually got LO3X when new... anyone can list which are they?

  JRBP or should i say Jurong Depot have brand new LO3x. SV 143 was the second service to get LO3x (SBS9010 to SBS9021) after SV 7. SV 143 was based in Jurong Depot and BRBP. SV 111 or SV 30 was the next SV to get LO3x if i am not wrong.

  If I remember clearly, some 81's SD are from 65. 1 of them is what you mentioned : SBS2824C. It swapped with 81's SBS9531B and etc. Can't remember. It was swapped after 81 was shortened to Serangoon.

  111 got ADD before 30 did. 7 (BB/HG), 143 (BR/JR), 111 (HG) & 106 (AM) received the first batch of ADDs.

  Hi,
  
  Does anyone knows when SBS2754 was fitted with plug doors? Why was it fitted on only SBS2754?
  
  Thanks

  TIB 1193 C and TIB 1194 A were former service 184, 15 Nov 2003 to be exact. Service 184 became under KJ when service 966 started.

  The timing is very volatile. You can try 1530 - 1600 hours on Sundays at Clementi. No guarantee.

  Box bendies served on 184 when they were new.
  
  Before that, 184 had a full Mk III fleet from BBDEP.

  Got a shock too the first time i saw the bus on Service 88 in 2002 (haven't seen this bus before that)... It's like why SBS 2779 A received an Electronic Destination Sign or why SBS 2750 G received a Webasto aircon unit -- nobody knows.

  Is it standard procedures for bus captains to call at EVERY busstop regardless if there's anyone flagging for the bus at all?

  ...and then you'll get ppl writing to the media saying BCs doing the delaying tactic again. The thing here is... you can't please everyone. You call at EVERY busstop, those ppl at the stop wanting to take the bus will be happy, but those on the bus will not. Similarly, if you don't call, ppl on the bus will be happy but those who miss the bus will not.

  What if there's NO ONE at the busstop that's flagging the bus, but the bus still calls at the stop?
  
  What do you call that?
