SMB 0001H On Service 300
it looks rather pretty from the front and side...and a pity it's the only one on revenue service for now. Hope it'll be deployed on other services as a trial
I notice the bumper lights are not on. Is it there as a deco from the CapaCity bodywork or can it actually work?

I believe this SMB1H on 300 is just x-over in the morning.

me keep scania and B9 tixs in thermal cabinet also wear off.. sianz.
offtopic
got ticket
agree, off topic a little, once i kept a receipt in thermal paper, faded off immediately, and the store still ask me to keep that for warrantry
One note, do not use tape on the paper, confirm smug instantly

actually dunno why they go for thermal printer..though yes these days lesser ppl pay by cash but long term running cost of using thermal printer isn't going to save much cos thermal paper is very very ex one
About one roll 30-90 cents, can last for 2-4 days

Well, the bus get much attention at NBR and most of the drivers, including a SBST BC. All were like shocked, amazed. And the most shocking part was when all the Service 300 Bendy Drivers saw the SMB1H on their route and were amazed as it was not supposed to be a rigid but a bendy that is doing the crossover.

Of cus the bus get much attention when everyone was running around the bus. Passer-by are amazed by the crowd rather than the bus. -

U must be joking.

Occurences on SMB 1 H (01 July 2008, 1830 hours)
I was onboard SMB 1 H on its trip travelling towards Choa Chu Kang. I was observing things around, and to my horrid, I have found out something, and it has also been identified by the commuters onboard as well.
A bus fan feedbacked to me that a couple of passengers telling him this:
Pax 1: "Hey, are you part of the group? Are you able to get them to shut up? It's getting onto my nerve!!!Pax 2: "It has been a stressful day for me! I've been slogging for the whole day and I wanted a peaceful ride on it. Hear the noises coming from the back of the bus! It's f***ing irritating! CAN I HAVE SOME PEACE?!"
THIS, has become a rising concern with this handful of bus fan who have been seating at the rear of the bus to become much 'outstanding' in the sense that they have been interrupting the peace, or even sleep for some of these poor working people.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE SITUATION AWARENESS OF BUS FANS?! IS THIS A SIGN THAT FOR SOME THAT IT HAS WEAKENED?!
Upon knowing that, I was furiously ashamed with their wrongdoings. Isn't it a basic courtesy that one MUST NOT have loud conversation on buses?
Yes... it has been an exciting day for some of us to be boarding it, but does it have to be AMPLIFIED and becomes a form of inconvenience to others? And how much impact has this handful of people created and have never feel ashamed with their inconsiderate actions??!!
I hope that this handful of them who have conversed loudly on the bus NOT to do such acts again. Not only that it brings us shame, the bad image portrayed to other commuters would be magnified as well!
As a bus enthusiast, I hope that all of us should carry out the right disposition onboard, as well as to have the right moral values and considerate acts while onboard.
Again, I hope that this incident would never be re-enacted.
