Last time, got a standby driver, first time do 179...
It was his first evening peak trip on a MK2... I boarded the bus... There were a few passengers onboard.
At the traffic light waiting to exit the interchange, he seemed very stressed, kept on wiping his sweat, looking very nervous...

Then when we cleared the traffic light, he looked behind, he saw 179 DD departing from interchange! Then he got the shocked look on his face and stepped on the accelerator harder.
Once we turned into Jurong West St 63, he saw another DD in front, not very far away! He dunno whether to driver fast or slow, so he kept on "jerking" the bus... He looked into the mirror, behind got 179, in front also have...

At a traffic light, he kept on looking at his timesheet and the clock on the DDU. Yes, he was just on time.
He kept on looking at the passing 179s returning to BNL, all packed to the door
Then he turned behind and asked us in a surprised tone in chinese, everyday so many people ah?
