cool. i wonder where did they steal it from.

To SMB66X: I don't think bus companies allow drivers to give away the destos to public. The destos are companies' property.
To ama-teur: Stop doing such things. It would be good if you return it. If you guys want those destos badly, just get the dimension, design yourself and produce it. Bus companies don't owe you anything.
Thanks.

You sure that 1017D & 1018B has changes in its deployments??
it does not run on 985 perm anymore. that's what I've observed, it seems to be running around already. -

No. That's because drivers learn single decks first. And after being mentoring and driving on the roads for quite a while, they will get the chance to learn double deckers. A mentor BC and the mentee will use any DD from the depot during off peak hours or saturdays to conduct the familiarisation.How about SMRT's bendy for SLs?
Also, I am curious about some service that are capable for PIWs but a non WAB service.
Eg: Bus 48, 75 and many more
If a PIW wants to board 48 or 75 in this example, how should they do then?

anyone has any idea why this aft at bedok int the area where 854 and 87 parked were blocked off with cones, preventing buses from parking there?

I believe SBST outsource the production of destos to private signage companies to do it. maybe we can call up signage companies by searching through yellow pages to check randomly which company is doing it. then ask them fabricate new ones and sell to you? -

there are many companies that deals with plastic manufacturing to begin with. I believe any company would be able to accede to your request if you give them the specifications. However, each desto may be costly if the order is in small quantities.. SBST's rate was $30 per desto, or so I heard. -
is there a lot of bus stops painted/drawn with the yellow wheelchair logo/box on the floor?

bus stops will have that if the bus stop floor staircase or sloped, then these will tell where PIWs will board the WABs safely. -
Sv 960 getting screwed up again nowadays. After the Fu Lu shou bus stop, people cannot board anymore.

What time did you board that bus? if you boarded it at PH, then it's the norm

But I think it'd be more ideal to find the company which fabricate SBST destos, so that if we buy, they have the template, fonts and even the chinese characters and knows the dimension to begin with. Hence we can purchase destos from the private signage company which is identical to SBST. -

agree. but its hard to find IMO.. like looking for a needle in a haystack. If we purchase from them I dont think it will be $30. SBST orders their destos in bulk. asking them to make just one may cost say almost 100 bucks? -

ordering in bulky purchases=more trade discount. -

It may vary when SMRT wants to redeploy them,some buses with upgraded A/C like TIB488J (Konvekta) and TIB916R (Carrier) , both also with ad, are spare buses -

They're technically copyright.
Otherwise any individual can obtain trade secrets of a product by simply going to the manfacturer that it got outsourced to for an extra copy!

did he steal all those? and i was wondering is he the culprit for the missing items/parts of HG107 buses? i remember once there was some discussion going for parts missing or things stolen related to HG107 buses.
