  Hello guys ! Are the tyres on the buses tubed or tubeless? It seems tubeless to me.

  They go Depots workshop to change either SBST Livery or new ad, so U will find the buses missing for a day.

  Watch TV ad for any concert/major event at National/Indoor Stadium.

  I noticed it. On SBS 1901U.
  
  Saw it on Service 69 on Tuesday (24/04) and did not appear on Wednesday (25/04). On Thursday (26/04), it became adless.

  They will find some way to make the bus report to he depot at earlier time. Example will be the SBS1901U's case. SBS1901U was doing S Shift on 69. So the bus will report depot at most 8pm plus. The people in depot can start working on tearing down of ad. If SBS1901U is on 168, and if the bus is doing full day. The bus have to report at perhaps 1am. The depot may not be able to work as it is too late.

  Another Case: SBS 0711H.
  
  Cameoed on Service 38 the day before the ad was removed and then missing for a day. The bus appeared back on it's Townlink 293 perm two days after doing cameo.
  
  This was unconfirmed. However, from what I know, SBS 0711H cameoed on Service 38 in the evening on that day.

  Yup another example would be SBS1985C in the year 2006.
  It swapped with SBS 3647 R to do T Shift on 38 (Means 1985C appear on 38 , 3647R appear on 2 The next day, 1985C was seen on 291 without any ad. For a few weeks before getting its current IMPACT ad. IMO. The Old ad was nicer and more unique.

  No wonder it dissapeared. I like the blue ad. Looks so handsome on a Strider

  I notice that the day after it goes back into service, the next day MIA again.
  
  That means
  
  1st day: on perm svc
  2nd day: not in svc (in depot for repainting, sometimes takes 2 days)
  3rd day: back to perm svc
  4th day: not in svc
  
  Is it to do some touch up to the paintwork or something?

  A JB-registered bus on 160 yesterday had a very weird 'wheee' sound when accelerating. I think should be SBS8**B or D. It does'nt have Sutrak AC. Anyone know the rego or the problem?
