SBS 965S, 162 perm, do not have a permanent timeslot. instead it takes another bus's timeslot.

SMRT has changed bus stop description formerly known as "Sisters for the Poor" along Upper Thomson Road to "St Theresa's Home".

One of the exit doors on SBS3757G has the handles installed the wrong way.
Instead of \ /

anyway, now still have the downroute that start from AMK Station for SV 74.. during evening peak..Originally posted by off_service:74A first existed as a service between Upper Serangoon and Ang Mo Kio Stn. It was only converted to a SWT between Hougang Central and Ngee Ann Poly in the mid 1990s, probably after Hougang Central opened.
Can anyone shed more info on the operating hours? I remembered taking this old 74A on Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons.
alway saw empty SV 74 ADD turning from AMK Ave 8 (jubilee side) into Ave 3 with full SV 74 desto. -
Oh ya.. remember seeing those too.. but they operate as service 74.Originally posted by lemon1974:anyway, now still have the downroute that start from AMK Station for SV 74.. during evening peak..

The size of the timesheets that SBS Transit and SMRT Buses use are different. SBS Transit's timesheets are A5 size while those of SMRT Buses are A4 size.
In fact, SBST only put dechipher-it-yourself numbers and letters, say one line of a particular timesheet wrote '20 1303 84409' where the last five digits are bus stop codes. SMRT are more elaborate, go and mention description of bus stop instead of bus stop code, that's why it's A4 size. -

Did you know?
962A buses are crossed-over from 963
Service 30 buses(The only service in Bedok to bunch 4-5 buses at the berths) will unload all passengers at a different berth, most preferbably 197's and would park near the roadside around their berth area. -

SBS 3721J the exit door handles are / \ . Makes me feel kinda weird when I need to grab the handrails in that manner. -
SMRT dint even bother changing the format of the timesheet. Simply replace the Trans Island Bus Services Ltd on top of the timesheet with SMRT Buses Ltd. The codes on SBS/SBST's timesheet have a meaning.Originally posted by TWS4793:The size of the timesheets that SBS Transit and SMRT Buses use are different.

When the BC is driving and want to check his timesheet, i would say that the SBST style is better in a way that the fare stage is there and whatever information the BC needs can get it by just one look. For SMRTB, i would say that the timesheet is not really that user-friendly.Originally posted by TWS4793:The size of the timesheets that SBS Transit and SMRT Buses use are different.

I agree, SBST numbers are much bigger, can see from far, even if mounted on the sunshade. SMRT words are too small. And SBST ones are A4 size though.Originally posted by sBs_boy:When the BC is driving and want to check his timesheet, i would say that the SBST style is better in a way that the fare stage is there and whatever information the BC needs can get it by just one look.

A perm BC on that route would know all the bus stop details anyway, so putting the full bus stop description is a waste of space. -
A5 Size , SMRT is A4Originally posted by stooper:I agree, SBST numbers are much bigger, can see from far, even if mounted on the sunshade. SMRT words are too small. And SBST ones are A4 size though. -
Dun just anyhow agree whatever people say,Think first SMRT is A4 SBST is A5,Both got pro & cons,So far almost all SL agreed with this concept,SBST ones some BCs also confused where are they,Only the fare stages are familiar.Bus stop codes?Forget it some senior BCs also not very sure,So dun make assumption,Go and drive public buses then you can comment such remarksOriginally posted by stooper:I agree, SBST numbers are much bigger, can see from far, even if mounted on the sunshade.

A5 size is half of A4 size leh... That means half the size of a normal foolscap paper. (Cut it horizontally in the middle) Where got so small?Originally posted by SBS BUSES LOVER:A5 Size , SMRT is A4 -
I agree that BCs won't know the bus stop numbersOriginally posted by carbikebus:SBST ones some BCs also confused where are they,Only the fare stages are familiar.Bus stop codes?Forget it some senior BCs also not very sure,
When I said bus stop details, I meant SMRT style, putting the full road name and bus stop description.
So what I mean is that putting the just fare stage, like SBST is good enough.
The bus stop number is still necessary though, as bus stops which are near one another might have the same fare stage. -

hmm. and i think 2991 (or 2990) has the Reverse lights on when the driver applies the brake.Originally posted by SBS9888Y:SBS2997L (DOOR CLOSING) light show BUS STOPPING

The bus stop numbers are for the bus management & LTA sides only,Nothing much to do with BCs,Only the fare stages are to be familiarise ditto for SMRTB plus got road names,Very handful for new drivers.SBST ones only got farestages which many new BCs are unfamiliar with,I've got both SBST & SMRT samples ones,You get it or not?Originally posted by stooper:I agree that BCs won't know the bus stop numbers
