  "No reverse parking for B10TLs."
  "Only head-on parking for B10TLs."
  
  Why so?

  
  only bndep buses have this, particularly those on 222 and 69. (or maybe others have it but i didnt see it)

  I wonder would there be any major redeployment of buses similar to IMF during the coming F1 Race.

  I would like to ask something about the tickets.

  

  This is a ticket of TIB859Y (KJDEP 184) cameo on 190. May I know what does "05JY" and "2A 02 3125" stand for?

  Any success or failures of sourcing from China by SBS Transit?
  
  Eg.
  - SBS Transit uniforms sourced from China. ( Chu Tat Co Pte Ltd)
  - Scania K230UB's EDS by CoolAir. (Manufacturing is in China)

  Are there still any other things that are sourced from China? Maybe engine or spare parts from various model of buses??

  A few questions to ask

  1) The 2nd and 3rd batches VO, the Dennis Trident and the VSOs all don't have rear windows at the second deck. How come is it so?

  2) Why did SMRT not paint the newest OC500LE's wheels to black? Wasn't it supposed to be part of their corporate livery

  3) The Hispano Habits are Euro II or Euro III?

  4) Why is the Volgren bodywork so popular in within bus fan communities? (at least i feel so)

  5) Will there be a chance where other bodyworks will come in instead of Gemilang, Gemilang and Gemilang?

  6)I heard there's a CAC 0405 SMRT that has full glass windows. From what i know, the windows are partioned into two, the top full glass and the bottom slide glasses. Did they remove all or just replace the bottom slide (btw a picture of the CAC is appreciated. :) ). And will SMRT continue this practice?

  Yup.

  5) I believe there will be other bodyworks to come in future.

  Try looking for TIB 0488J (WLDEP 857). Looks about the same.

  1. Maybe due to a reason where by they dont need to put the rear desto behind it since the Vo2X Vo3x batch 1 and the Lo3X are currenly...
  
  2. New New buses rims dont need to be so "black" what. as for others, I think is because when it was under SMRT livery I think?
  
  3. Dont know.
  
  4. Maybe because of the comfort and the air-con? Plus the coolness of nature o.0
  
  5. DOnt know dont care.
  
  6. I wish there is a pic of it LOL!

  1. More advertising space.

  2. Think they are chromed. Also less paint save the environment, cost and time.

  Some of the parking lots beside deep drain as the divider is too low it is risky to reverse parking as some BCs would still step the pedal even though the rear tyres has touch the divider

  it will u turn at junction at turf club ave/kranji road/woodland rd and then go back towards Kranji MRT and then to Old Woodland Rd towards checkpoint. SOmetime, if there is SMRT personnel around, they will manned the barrier at junction of Woodland Ave 3/Woodland Rd/Old Woodland Rd, so that Sv 950 can turn right directly towards old woodland rd, instead of making U- Turn.
