  There's this black box camera exactly at the centre of the dashboard on some buses to catch errant motorists who violate the bus lane during peak hours and for catching illegal parking at bus stops.

  But I'm sure they can be installed on them, just like the PSV Soon Chow's on 78.

  1. Most SBST BCs driving B9TL can speed on bus lanes and selected roads such as the stretch along Bedok Reservior Road (from Tampines Avenue 1 right up to before Jalan Lembah Bedok)? A 'ding, ding' sound can be heard when the bus speeds.
  
  2. If anyone has gone onboard SBS 0031L (SP BNDEP), you may have noticed that the so-called panel, housing the 'Bus Stopping' light indicator and the rego, is different from the other buses. Typical Scania N113CRBs have their interior regos placed below the 'Bus Stopping' light; for the case of SBS 0031L, the rego was placed on the left hand side of the panel beside the 'Bus Stopping' light.
  
  3. Some buses had their interior rego replaced with another rego plate but weird looking. Two examples are SBS 3696Z (5 BNDEP) and SBS 3855G (97/97e SLBP). That's why if I were to be a passenger on either of these two buses, it would sure be a scary ride.

  What's so scary about weird look rego plates? A hijacked bus? Or stolen bus?

  1. What's the ding ding sound? Is it scary? Need people to call police to check or not?
  
  2. Wow i didnt know man. Its black in colour right? I think 3573U also got special parts around there also
  
  3. Different rego plate scary meh? I think the ding ding sound is a greater cause for concern.

  SBS31L also got "Side Rectangular Desto Holder" Made from Back Desto Holders.
  
  
  Edit: Any service 3 BC reading this. Do this to one of your buses without Side desto holders

  1 - Speeding of B9TLs does not limit to only this stretch of road. They can speed on any roads in Singapore. Need not on SELECTED roads. Oh, by the way, if you dont know what the sound.. Itz a Speed Limiter for god's sake.
  
  2 & 3 - So what if they were place differently from other buses ? I have boarded buses without the Rego plate inside.. What are you going to do? Call the police and report ?

  I believe 2988M has the bus stopping sign placed higher than the other CNGs... You can't see it from the rearmost seat.

  Quite a few other buses also like that. They use a big yellow number plate with the black letters sticking out. Bigger plate than normal one! Scary sia!
