  It is likely the buses will use this as a bus park to lay by and serve the new MRT station 250 metres out. Boarding and alighting may not be allowed.

  I just took 1037X this morning (with JJ) and the vibration when changing gear is quite hard, the panels vibrate and make the 'brrr' noise.

  It might be due to the engine from how it sounds.

  I wonder did AM or BN did something to the doors. Some kinda music will be played when the front doors are open, I thought it was some kids playing with toy at the first place.

  
  Only now have I looked at the video, but the music is different when it was BN 65. Some non-Citybuzz buses also have the music, like SBS9814K. Not sure if it's still there though.

  7 services :
  182, 192, 193, 251, 254, 255, 257?
  
  252 cannot because the terminal itself is at where 252's looping at.

  more like a withdrawal with the mrt extension. i suspect that they may enhance another JIS to serve Enterprise Rd and Int'l Rd area just like when the old 250 to Lokyang, 252 was enhanced to serve Enterprise and Int'l Rd when 250 was withdrawn.

  JKC is big eh. but 1 bus to serve the whole JKC would be good for those who don't wish to walk.... or have 1 of the other services make a loop in JKC before coming out to Joo Koon Station?

  Yea, i also posted it here.

  I described it as "TIB1037X the gearbox vibrates when it changes gear. Took it today and it just feels darn uncomfortable. Especially if the BC accelerates hard, the vibration is bad. It's particularly uncomfortable when it does its second gear change. I was sitting at the rear section of the bus. The front section not so bad lol, just can hear the vibration sound when changing gears."

  So is the gearbox or engine vibrate? hmm. 10 days since i posted the post and SMRT still haven't fix that uncomfortable vibration? It's probably gonna surpass the Elbos only when it changes gears.

  I felt maybe Joo Koon terminal may have Tuas services added into it such as 192 and 193

  Actually it was just a normal bendy during WLDEP days ... ... wasn't that bad at all. Maybe also partly contributed to WL 911 SLs; remembered how they thrashed the bus so hard and putting very hard brakes

  I kinda of find that there are more diff bet the K230UB. The newer batch of K230UB does not had many strips at the rooftop compared to the earlier one. Then the SBS 84XX screw to lock the aircon duct at the side is plus sign type while other is like nut type.

  I object to all these services except 252. They have work to done leh.All these service come from boon Lay, Others would rather take MRT to Joo Koon.2 stops mah. They sian mei shi zuo ah?

  Reasons by me:

  182 is the only services that serves Tuas South

  192 and 193 serves different parts of Tuas

  The JISes are the only services that loop around its area

  252 can because it's looping point is there. So what for it must loop there?
