Most passengers were shocked also.

  
  LTA should be responsible for putting up such a high hump. by then 2020 all the bus fleets are WAB, all Singapore roads wif higher humps must lower liao.

  B9TLs oso can lower or raise buses when idle right? the poofing sound de

  Me too.

  I still feel that KJDEP seems to put their new buses even on those "ulu" routes like services 172 and 925. Whereas some SMRT services under AMDEP that deserves to get such new buses did not get them as yet. Especially for service 980 which do have a PM peak crowd and yet AMDEP make service 980 as a Nissan dumping ground instead of introducing the Merc OC500LEs. For services like 854 and 969 I also do hope that AMDEP will give them perm OC500LEs soon. Maybe services 167 and 169 should get them too.

  Can you stop nagging about AMDEP services or not, please? Now the trend for AMDEP is to put on INTERNAL routes. 811 is supposed to get 8 units of the OC if you don't know, and now there are just 4 perms. Plus they are experimenting with OC on all routes which they think its feasible for the OC hence please just be patient. Most of AMDEP buses often land up in Yishun, so expect OC to be in Yishun.

  If you're talking about currently then it would be 811 loh... the service with the most number of OC perms. Otherwise services they are experimenting on with the OC currently are 171 854 969. 851 may get more than 1 perm in the near future. (=

  Don't think SMRT will scrap any of the CAC Mercs as yet, the fleets are now currently going thru mid-life refurbishment that's all.

  Anyway service 975 have crossover bendies in the morning. But to have a perm full day bendy on service 975...hmm...I wonder how the bendy is going to make a u-turn at Lim Chu Kang Road end (surprisingly service 82 under Tibs had bendies doing u-turn at Punggol Rd End)

  Most probably KJDEP may restore service 975 back to full DAF fleet once again .

  If they put bendies on 975,how will the bendies turn at Lim Chu Kang rd end?but like TIB1018B said,svc 82 had bendies last time during the TIBS days.so anything can happen.
