They resticker it, that's why the metal strips are not so distinctive now.Originally posted by chickenlittle2:Nowadays find out that the repainting job for VO3x (batch 1) are very nice.. Not only painiting the small portion at the back of the side windows black that looks like VO3x (batch 2 or 3). I think due to multiple times of painting, the metals strips at the side now does not appear so visible, sometimes I mistook them as VO3x(batch 2) from far.. Some gd job like SBS 9365P on svc 179 and some other on Svc 196.. By the way, the paint job on SBS 9365P seems to be repainted by BBDEP..
But because they resticker it, they rip off all the buses badges...
SBS9365P used to have an almost complete set of badges, only thing was a missing Alexander badge at the front. Now, it has no badges at all in both the front and rear...
Same for LO3x. Buses like SBS9028M, SBS9049C all have no badges at all. -
Did you know...
they installed 2 humps of the downhill section in NTU?
Now the 179 buses cannot chiong downhill...
In the past, can get up to 60km/h++ if you chiong (ADD inclusive!), then can maintain at least 60km/h through Hall 7, and also maintain 60km/h through the slight upslope to Innovation Centre. -
You can feedback to the co about this,They keep all the badges at the workshop.I've once feedback about TIB1057M Merc badge and they only attach the Hispano badge only.Originally posted by stooper:They resticker it, that's why the metal strips are not so distinctive now.

1. SBS833G has got no side desto holder.
2. If SMRT drivers are more than 4 minutes early, they are charged $11+ per minute early. -

what about sbst ? -
SBS9162H has a newly installed fuel gauge!
To the left of the speedometer/steering wheel, there are normally 4 holes. 3 of them are installed with the air/brake gauges on normal LO3x, while the last one is empty.
But 9162H has a fuel gauge installed there! It's like a toilet roll mounted on the panel if you get what I mean. And the fuel gauge fits into one end of the "toilet roll"
So fuel gauge protrudes out of the panel. -
The door closing buzzer on SBS 0338C is weak. Meaning that the 'paeeh' sound has almost no life at all, but it still could be heard.

I think its misleading for loop svc like svc 975 to display "BUKIT PANJANG" on the front EDS when its actually heading towards LCK. It should display "LIM CHU KANG" instead.

Well, it shows they arent making fill use of the EDS feature. SBS loop services only use 1 side desto, showing the terminating point of the route and the streets it calls at.Originally posted by SBS3688Y:I think its misleading for loop svc like svc 975 to display "BUKIT PANJANG" on the front EDS when its actually heading towards LCK.

It is more than 4 minutes according to the BC I spoke to.Originally posted by carbikebus:More than 3 mins but less than 10 mins warning if caught.Exceeds 10 min bonus cut unless instructed by BOCC.
The system detects that they are early. So they 100% will get caught.
Yes. my mistake. Not 1 min 11 dollars.
It is as follow. Demerit points will be given out if early, customer complain, or other things such as speeding. 1 demerit point means 11+ dollars.
For late coming, more than 4min must be supported by valid reason(s).
Also, he commented the the Mercs has better pick up but the steering wheel is kind of big. For Scania, the steering wheel is small like driving a car, and for Nissan, it can haul big loads, but poor acceleration -
not all loop svc use 1 side desto. those svc looping at siglap rd uses 2-sided destos.Originally posted by iveco:Well, it shows they arent making fill use of the EDS feature. SBS loop services only use 1 side desto, showing the terminating point of the route and the streets it calls at.

then again, svc 15 has a side desto reading 'Pasir Ris to Marine Parade (Loop)' squeezed into one line -
some other loop services like 123, CACC services, 60 etc have 2-sided destos while some other long laul services like 133, 195, 502, 162 etc, although have a 'simplified' 1 side desto in which the destination are stated in the 3rd locations in the destoOriginally posted by musli_bar:not all loop svc use 1 side desto. those svc looping at siglap rd uses 2-sided destos.

today i was on SBS3922X doing 73...4A...boarded at TPI at 1347hours (lambat 1 minute)..sitting behind me by 1 row was this 10-11 year old boy..and he was talking about bus to his mum..saying that first time i see SBS3922X on 73 and that this is the last 0405 in the series..i thought of turning back and ask him some stuffs but was embarrased
..coincidentally he alighted at Nat'l Semiconductor at Lor 4 which was the same stop as me and walked toward Block 92...i wonder if hes from Toa Payoh 
...and if he views this forum...he was wearing a blue and yellow top with white shorts and a green belt..his size is rather just nice not too fat or thin like me 
well anyway i find its like so young as he knows so much... 
if you are this guy please do pm me or add me on msn @

Before the route amendment, Express 502 terminate at BNL and they use double side desto. After the route extension to Pioneer Rd nth, they change it to the single side desto..Originally posted by toll123:some other loop services like 123, CACC services, 60 etc have 2-sided destos while some other long laul services like 133, 195, 502, 162 etc, although have a 'simplified' 1 side desto in which the destination are stated in the 3rd locations in the desto -
I think the most ideal is to label the side destos for all loop services like svc 15 as mentioned. In this way, drivers need not change the destos. To check which direction its heading, just adapt SMRT style by indicating the destination below each svc no on the bus-stop plates.Originally posted by musli_bar:not all loop svc use 1 side desto. those svc looping at siglap rd uses 2-sided destos.

for SMRT front EDS; if its too troublesome to change the destination info, just indicate eg svc 975 "BT PANJANG - LIM CHU KANG (loop)" instead of "BT PANJANG" only.
