  Got quite a lot of beeps, some coming from the DDU and also from the controls. Which one are you referring to?

  Are there new block numbers for the new SD WABs? Maybe se/sw-4xx?

  I think they will take the 400 series.. since the DD WABs taking the 300.. It goes in order. Maybe one fine day when S170 gets a SD WAB i hope i wont see sw-444. lol..

  All commercial vehicles (except public buses and RU plate vehicles) get a 20 year lifespan. All private cars and RU plate vehicles have an unlimited lifespan. Public buses have 17 years with (probably) an option to extend it for 1 to 3 years depending on the operator's needs.

  Public buses get less life span as they run many hours a day, just like how taxis are only used for 7-8 years.

  How many downroutes does 88 have in total? I only know that there's one in the morning towards PSR after AMK MRT (SBS 9188J) and another one starting from opp. J8 (SBS 7497E).
