  so far most that i met are quite nice :p...but in terms of following schedule maybe not :p. having took smb4a for the last 4 days, the uncle follows schedule very closely =)..and its his perm bus, so shld be able to catch easily.

  The 19/10 duty roster is out already as of this evening at YIDEP. And the bad news is that services 171 and 854 do NOT have any perm Merc OC500LEs as yet.

  
  You really so hardcore sia...

  I went to do a rough scanning yesterday afternoon also, but I only studied S811 rosters in detail for any SMB deployments... :P

  if i'm nt wrong the PM06 schedule goes something like this:
  
  YSI 14:28 BMI 15:49
  BMI 16:00 YSI 17:21
  YSI 17:50 BMI 19:08
  BMI 19:19 YSI 20:47
  YSI 2-:59 BMI 22:13
  BMI 22:25 YSI 23:43
  
  so PM08 must +15minutes.

  You must have been really lucky to get drivers that stick closely to schedules. :P

  You get my point. (:

  Hey. I just saw a new OC, SMB20C at the traffic junction turning into W'lands Ave 9 to WLDEP. It was at around 5.55pm when I was on 169 of TIB914X. The seats were wrapped up with plastics and a blue plate was hanging below the rego. Wheels are also white.

• TIB1234T

  Seems like Gemilang painted the wheels white. Not sure why the rego is being put. I thought OCs come to WLDEP to do registration , then put on the rego?

  SMB1H also has a new camera fitted at the back of the bus, on the ads.
