  if it is Scania, i'll faint...cuz i have a hard time taking the KUBs...with such strong vibrations that vibrated my legs to numbness...

  If I'm not wrong 132 is the official figure. I believe our press do not bother to update on the numbers by checking with SMRT. 67 was the figure used in the SMRT annual report as well as the intial press releases in late 2007.
  
  I believe the additional 66 refers to the tender that ended on December 2, 2008.

  Yah. Same for WLDEP. Nothing to say. Alot of buses also cram up the roads outside WLDEP like nobody's business.

  Pardon me, but I really pity those taking 963 home after school/work during peak hours from 6pm. The bus-stop opposite ITE Dover is frequently skipped due to the high volume of people boarding the bus at NUH. Not only is the frequency longer than 14 mins, most of the buses that come are normal O405s...hence it really fustrates those who have waited over 25 mins....

  Dunno why SMRT dun want to rent another places or even bulit a new one for KJDEP @ AMDEP.Rumours is that AMDEP will have a 2 storey depot by year 2010 which got me in doubt.Parking at AMDEP between 23.30-0015 hrs at there is such a pain especially driving a bendy..

  Today I was onboard SMB39A on 307 and I found an interior ad:

  Our Security is in Your Hands (LTA, SBST, SMRT)

  It might be the first interior ad in an OC.
