Singapore 2006 Bus Charter
-
Saw the news, looks like SBS buses are gonna be used
Going to have shortage of buses running around on the fact that many services cannot cope already
+ the fact of Citybuzz around 
-
Heard that 400 buses & 200 taxis will be chartered. One host per bus.
Poly students trained to be bus hosts for IMF/World Bank delegates
Some 400 polytechnic students are being trained to be hosts for the IMF/World Bank meetings in Singapore in September. They will act as guides for delegates travelling on chartered buses.
Through simple role-playing, the students are taught how to make small talk should the buses ferrying delegates be stuck in a traffic jam. -

Singapore 2006 the number of ppl is counted in thousands
its the largest number Singapore has hosted...
its because of IMF that Singapore got to where it is....
Singapore gained independence and had lack of money...
so she joined the IMF and took a loan
she then developed Jurong to become an industrial estate
Now...we are hosting it... -

There are more still..but don't need to list out. Guess those MK IV Strider with M1, DBS and Standard Chartered most likely get chartered. -
Hmm, I will be in the photography side with guys from NYAA, and hopefully it works out well...
Photos that I take, however, would not be able to be kept by myself
, I will see some way out though... Of course I am only interested in the photos of buses that I am keeping, not of other 'work-related' ones.
See how. -
