  everytime the staff standing by the berth sees a "wave of 179 passengers" coming to the berth after a train has reached boon lay, he will radio to his colleagues over at the 4 parking lots near the 179/A to "release one bus" (real quote one hor )..
  
  very systematic, very good. today got 1 S179 & 2 S179A picking up passengers at one go.
  
  About S179A
  
  tho' at bus stop plates, it states that it runs Boon Lay Int > express > NTU > express > Boon Lay Int..
  
  it doesnt quite go that way for the PM peak. PM peak is just NTU > express > Boon Lay Int.

  yah .. ever since they introduced it its been like that ...

  and same for the PM peak one ... , cause people would want to Get OUT of NTU lol ..

  and do note that , any route can be used along the express sector

   

  many variations are via jw ave 5 , then st 71 ,

  or jw ave 5 , jw st 61 , follow 243 route , etc

  it depends on who's your driver .. :D

   

  thats the good thing . and recently , almost everyday there';s a jam at pioneer north , quite bad. very bad..

   ... that 147 used to have white and green plates? Found a chinese book containing an image in Tampines Library. Can't understand the book's title...
  
  I wonder why those plates were coloured in that manner...

  Non air-con side desto's were green and white.
  
  Air con side desto's were blue and red.
  
  Unless you're referring to the G and W directions, then the only thing I can think of is Potong Pasir.

  I think that about covers all the AMDEP service with K230... didn't see any AMDEP 52 K230 today. 128 one I don't know yet.

  Just listing some buses I saw with the WAB sticker...

  13 - SBS 8245J
  24 - SBS 8451E
  53 - I think every single bus got... SBS 8165G for a start.
  55 - SBS 8302C
  86 - SBS 8272E
  130 - SBS 8179S
  133 - SBS 8240Y
  162 - SBS 8281D
  265 - SBS 8115D
  268 - SBS 8119R

  Bro, i suspect AMDEP, BRBP have "armed" most of their K230UB's with WAB stickers, sv131
  sv57 have all their buses WAB stickered

  Vandalism-look-alike markings spotted on the engine cover of TIB 1221E (YIBP 811).

  Not sure what the letters or numbers scribbed mean, but there certainly is black markings all over the engine cover which resemble that of either marker or spray...

  The price shown on the rack was $19.95 but when I went to pay, it was actually only $14.95. They got loads of it at Tampines Mall when I was there. And they also got Comfort Taxis with the word Comfort there. So I cannot understand why they cannot put SBST logo on the bus.

  It looks like this: (bad quality photo, my bad)
