  They scared at night the bus got no diesel to run because of the long distance on the expressway. By fact even if you never pump diesel in the mid afternoon, there's still 1/3 diesel left at the end of the day, by estimates.

  How about 30?

  At around 2-4pm, you'll see many SLBP 30 DD buses going back to SLBP then coming back to BNL about half an hour later.

  not sure. Never see timesheet before. Or maybe they change shift at slbp with no indication of refuelling. This way the starter can change the bus so that the A shift bus can go for mx.

  Time to relax (for a while) after the SBST MKIIs are gone.
  
  In which part of Orchard can I find the NYC InQBuzz bus, ex-SBS 6907X? How about the I Love Children Bus, ex-SBS 7297R?

  Anyway here is a question that I've been longing to ask...

  Applies mostly to SMRT buses:

  When a bus switches depot, does the depot have to re-programme everything inside the EDS? Or is it that all the services' code have been programmed into the EDS already?

  All the service codes has been programmed into the EDS of all SMRT Buses
