  Last night when I took 5 (SBS2595M) from Orchard to Bedok Reservoir, the driver exited wrongly at Paya Lebar! But later he drove back onto the opposite slip road and continued onto PIE towards Eunos... Haha.

  Still remembered the Lower Delta Road portion where the current service 5 (Bt Merah - Pasir Ris) passes through, that was also where the old service 5 (Bt Panjang - Geylang Lor 1) passed through in the past too

  It is a PAC or even FAC (can anyone confirm) and withdrawn as TIBS 5.

  Former service 5 used to operate with full fleets of MB0305s and LAs. Volvo MK3s were adden in the fleet when SBS converted service 5 into a PAC service in December 1993.
  
  When TIBS took over service 5 in September 1995, Nissan U31 SCNs (NAC) and MB0405s (AC) were used by TIBS. DDs were withdrawn then. Deployment of TIBS buses on service 5 eventually became Hino HT328Ks (NAC) and WA DAFs (AC) over the years before it was withdrawn in December 1999. By the way service 5 was never converted to a FAC service at all.

  So SBS908H is a cameo and I thought all Striders are from ARBP?
