  Red colour signals are from the driver's DDU. The DDU tells if the driver is late or early. If the driver is ahead of schedule, the DDU will have a red light and there will be a higher pitch sound. If the driver is late, the DDU shows a yellow light and there will be a lower pitch sound. The extent of earliness or lateness (in minutes) can be seen at the DDU's screen. +(number) means early by (number) minutes, vice versa for -(number).

  if too early like +40 on 170 (a lot of the time), will oso hav a lower pitch sound and it is double like the sound of very late.

  so,

  early: single high pitch, red light
  very early: double low pitch, red light
  late: single low pitch, yellow light
  very late: double low pitch, yellow light

  The CCK Feeders mostly use LA and VO2x , so far no 0305's as BBDEP has none if im not wrong. And yeah , the days when 190 fully Double deck service , ranging from VO2x (during the FAC days) , LO3x , VO3x..

  Now that 190 is under SMRT, no such thing as full Bendy fleet.

  svc 190, 307, 300, 188, 302, 67 and 175 (now 975) were created and operated by SBS.. but unfortunately, these svcs were handed over to TIBS (now SMRT) =(

  TIBS didn't deploy full bendy fleet, SBS didn't deploy full DD fleet. So all parties shall be blamed?

  Throughout 7 months i took 307 this year, i managed to take only 1 Habit bendy bus (forgotten the rego) b4 the june holidays.. =( coz im one of the daily riders of svc 307 during the AM peak hours.. Btw, SMRT really do need bendies to x-over from 190 to 307 during the AM peak bcoz thers 2 things.. Firstly, i pity the pupils from Regent Sec (I think coz im not in that sch) coz they have to squezze themselves like sardines with only either an OAC or CAC merc O405 (which is obviously the only svc to get there) and secondly, the pupils going to either CCKSS, TYSS or BPGHS have to squezze themselves through the bus (at least its not so bad than the other 1)...

  Hmm , seems that you also took 307 in AM peak too ... BPGHS is because of the temporary site beside TWSS , they will move back to their original site at CCK Ave 4 probably in 2009.

  Besides , the high demand is usually from Blk 708 bus stop and sometimes buses will skip at the Blk 702 bus stop ... eventually mostly alight at CCK MRT Bus stop
