  are you talking about the round things before the aircon units found on the MK3's,MK4 DM350s and striders?BTW,on the sutrak aircon MK3's,the two round ventilators are before the sutrak unit and there is another 'solo' one behind the sutrak unit.but for the fuji aircon MK3's,the three round ventilators are all located ain front of the fuji unit.look at SBS723Z.its a sutrak MK3.the front and the 'solo' ventilator are still there but the middle one has been removed.and that MK3 looks quite odd due to that.

  In the event of air-con beakdown, these  round fans or ventilators as they are called can be switched on to circulate air around the front of the bus. With the assistance of one or two open roof top hatch at the rear , air can ciruclate around the entire bus and the bus become a non air-con bus.

  student pass cannot be accepted on express/premium. however,u have to pay full express/premium fares by cash..

  Sorry mate,, you gave a wrong answer

   

  students can take Certain premiums. being a student once i know the fares.
  
  1) On Chinatown direct there is a student fare. i think 1 dollar. tap your concession card and enjoy the cheaper fare. Pay cash also 1 dollar.
  
  2) On Cityshopper Premiums, there is students fare. i noticed RGS girls know about this and they do use the service from far east to go back to their homes in say tampines quicker and more less crowde-er

  Svcs 576 579 578 and 581 are the service i talk about.

  The sutdent fare is 1 dollar. by conc card or cash.
   
  3) Sorry no concessions on Fast forward, Express, Or Shenton Way premiums.Sorry no concessions on Night owls for students as well.

  4) For NTU students, service premium 582 charges a students fare.i tink.

  all tyres are branded with the numbers.. sbst brands them. handwritten is rare, but this 6 digit code i always see sbst brand them by imprinting them on the tyres.

  lol answering my own qn , finally caught a glimpse of the poster which was posted so high

   

  yep its the combined "iris" for both sbst &Smrt buses on pilot trial .

  SMS bus stop no to 77722 . 

  for selected bus stops ( centrals ) only . the stops are stated on the poster itself

  normal sms telco charges apply . no additional charges .

  One very nice question,

  Giro-link is a form of payment for public transport. It enables a person to automatically top up their Ez-link cards whenever their card value reaches 0 or negative through their POSBank/DBS account. On the MRT/LRT, the fare gates are connected to the Giro system, in the past, Giro-link was restricted to fare gates which are connected, these gates have blue coloured stickers to denote them being Giro fare gates. The question is, how does Giro-link work on buses, especially in the past during the farecard days?

  All the while GIRO deductions are not immediate, and bank accounts with insufficient balance to proceed with the GIRO transaction may be blacklisted, and the farecard/ez-link card will be disabled. In the past, probably GIRO-enabled fare gates require extra hardware or extra manpower to upload the GIRO data of auto top-up so not all faregates have it.
  
  For GIRO farecards, same thing, at the end of the day, all the GIRO data with every other trip data will be uploaded and processed. The media used to store and upload all these is the black diskette at the left side of the driver's console.

  If I remember correctly, it's 2002. I remember it was 1 Dec 2002 to stop all fare payments by farecard.

  Each of the new ez-link NFC BEXP readers will feature a 1GB removable storage, in addition to 1GB already available on the IDFC.
