  some K230UB stopping bell is funny. Sometimes when you press the bell, it should had the "Ding Dong" sound but got the soft " Beep, beep" sound.

  Is it the different type of sound for the PIW's bell?  think some people standing at the PIW space can conveniently press the PIW bell instead of the normal bell.

  It's a common trend for passengers to do it both intentionally or accidentally. The 'beep beep' is actually the PIW bell and the regular 'ding dong' is the regular bell. Some of the angry BCs do get worked up just because of this sometimes.

  Perhaps ba. Don't forget that service 58 is dual AMDEP/BNDEP controlled, let's see which side deploys them first.

  Service 70 another sole survivor in Yio Chu Kang too, other SBST transit buses had already got WAB fleets (either Volvo B9TLs or Scania K230UBs).

  thats common for svc 185

  the people who are standing ard that button accidentally press it w/o their knowledge

  Maybe the PIW bell should put lower. but then got wheelchair constraints. In fact, i've noticed the white wheelchair marking on the bell surface is disappearing in most K230UBs, and some may treat is as a regular bell instead.
