Did you know...? (Part 3)

• SMRT BUSES LuvER

  15 Jan 09, 20:16

  I decided to continue the previous thread here cuz it reached 77 pgs already.

  Anyway, did you know tht jus nw when i boarded SMB43L on 307, an uncle wanted to alight the bus but he grabbed at the wrong grabpole. He put his hand at the 'grabpole' near the door (u noe wat i mean) & when the BC opened the door, his hand was like twisted and he dropped his things. He went out of the bus in embarrasment.. I think SMRT shld put some warning sign jus like wat SBST did.

  ...SBST and SMRT may need to consider retrofitting the WAB bus stopping bells in ? The WAB bus stopping bell button at the wheelchair area is more likely to get pressed onto if the bus starts accelerating very fast? Try to grab the WAB pole quickly and your plam may hit the button.

  Don't think it's a big issue though.

  SBST KUB's are being progressively refitted with enhanced handicapped buttons that is flushed with its cover and requires more pressure to press. Some examples are 8156H and 8283Z.

  The Tampines Ave 10 HVP are usually parked by 27A buses who are awaiting downroute from Tampines Ave 5 to Sengkang (27B) / Hougang.

  MBs are parked there for meal break layover or whatever reason in short they are off service from the Tampines Retail Park shuttle

  These buses do 156A earlier, while others come straight off service from Sengkang / hgdep to start downroute at Thomson Rd (Old Police Academy).

  Start trip times at Thomson Rd with previous location details
  Off service from hgdep: 1615 1630 1646
  Off service from sengkang: 1757 1833 1843 1900
  156A from Sengkang to Thomson Rd: 1659 1716 1731 1814 1854

  I mean the SBST MB0405s, sorry for the confusion. I did saw it, when i was taking SMRT's MB0405 while on Tampines Retail Pk Shuttle to Tampines, going back to Tampines.

  service_238, Yes, there are SMRTB 0405s parking at the HVP, but for a purposes of Tampines Councorse/Grande doing some stupid works, so they need to park there?Tampines Int oso saw before.

  The same has been applied to SBS 8330X. The letters and alphabets look more 3D as compared to the other KUBs with the standard registration plates (flat, I mean, as was shown by the photograph taken by Alan).

  Its the old plate used in the B10Ms. I get what you mean. SBS 8279 L (AM 24) rear (and i think front) rego plate is the 3D version. Since the rear is white the front rego plate should be yellow and not white.
