  I wonder why most of the HGDEP K230UB got the paint frm the handrail fallen off? Especially at the entrance door? is it because of the cleaner?

  Please STOP insisting that Service 292 will get Scania KUB. Whether or not SBST wants to give Service 292 KUB we will never know. So STOP saying Service X will or will not get KUB. If not everyone here will start to say and guess things like that.

  I really wonder what the relevant authorities are doing with Tampines Interchange.

   

  True TP Int needs a revamp. And an expansion. The funny thing is, from what I heard, TP Int is going to be pulled down to make room for ERL development(the station or rails or whatever thingy supposed). They should just relocate TP Int by rebuilding an entirely new facility at Tampines Concourse/Grande(stupid name, yeah I know)...

   

  But anyway, since there is currently a revamp of TP Int(which they possibly are going to pull down sometime in the future, wasting taxpayers money), they should add berths(I call them slots) at between the 18/28/38 and 23 berths... Which is somewhere near the ex-SBST service office.

  Huh?

   

  Anyways IMHO TP Int is a big joke... It is an absolute mess rite now[rush hour is ****]. The contract developer actually wanted to do 2 ~ 3 berths refurbishing at one time. Look at what it led to...

  Sv. 292 needs more demand. If only it was rerouted to ply more traffic along Tp Ave 7, changing it to townlink service.

   

  Look at my rerouting of Sv. 292 to townlink292 here.

  Yea. Only a matter of time for all CGA services to be certified WAB. Hmm, 25 cant be WAB because of the place it parks at Bedok Int, same case for 88 for its parking at Toa Payoh Int? Pardon me if i'm wrong.

  I think sv 88 can't be a wab svc because of the weird b-stop style in the east side. eg. like punggol rd that area.

  Service 100 should have already became WAB but due to the constraints at the parking berth at Serangoon Interchange. Same for service 25 at Bedok Interchange.

  Think maybe service 163 might get WAB too. Noticed that some bus stops along Fernvale recently got upgraded with ramps being built to the housing estates. Service 119 should also gets WAB too as it loops at Kovan Hub .

  For SMRT services to be WAB, maybe services 67, 171, 172, 189, 307, 811, 851, 854...

  163 quite likely i must say. The bus stops *seem* to be WAB possible.

  SMRT svcs i agree with 307, 811, 851. But I feel they should get more OC500s or other WAB models first before getting a WAB svc.

  Its Toa Payoh interchange that is posing the problem unless they change berth. The building structure where the stairs is located is not wide enough for a wheelchair to go thru...

  This is what happen when the PIW boarding is at the exit door

  Now I understand. another example would be BC's having difficulty checking if the berth behind the whole slab of wall is empty. Had a lot of encounters where BC's turn in to sv 159's berth even though the 88 berth is empty. But I think the berth closer to sv 8 is wab?
