Yes... I like the system when it first came out... There's only 3 messages...
"Bus stop name"
"Bus stopping" (for Habits and Hispano batch 2 O405Gs)
"Route diversion ahead"
And I saw this on a 169 when AMK Int opens.... "Ang Mo Kio Int opens!"
whoa best! i prefer it to just keep showing the next stop's description instead of scrolling and scrolling (:

I hope this can be implemented in Bedok Interchange, many cars like to make use of the interchange roads to make illegal chort-cuts

The SMRT Merc OC is the tallest single-decker public bus in Singapore? (even taller than Scania KUB)

This is really a good way to prevent unauthorised vehicles towards this interchange. I remember once while i was waiting at a berth for svc 187 to come; 1st: DD on 168, 2nd: Bendy on 960, then suddenly 3rd: JB Proton Wira..

Ya I just noticed today of the new barrier at WDL Interchange. This is a good idea to keep off unauthorised vehicles from entering. I've seen cars parking illegally inside trying to get free parking! I think the Transit Security and staff at interchanges should be on a lookout for these people and take tough enforcement actions. Also, it can help to deter terrorists. Imagine a terrorist drives a car with explosives into the compound! -
... That iris nextbus for svc 31 cock up again? Keep replying not operating now when i iris on my mobile.... Iris for other services still work fine though. :)

Some OCs are always like that. SMB1H, SMB5Y, SMB41S & SMB61J are some of the examples of buses with loudd engines when moving off from a bus stop.

Once i board a SMRT bus, i informed SL about the presence of a suspisicious bag, SL said "nevermind lah...i at int then check" what if the bag exploded at haif way

Anyone noticed the narrow leftmost lane along Lornie Rd? Usually the leftmost lane is wider than other lanes as its intended for heavy vehicles which are wider. I believe when heavy vehicles are on this lane, part of the body would protrude onto the 2nd lane which can be very dangerous to others. Don't know if bus captains ever brought up this issue who in turn feedback to the authorities?

SBS191H no longer gearbox jam (or rather stuck at its maximum) since it was repaired long time ago

it's actually preference and timing. if it's peak hour, the BCs will have to keep to the left most lane coz up ahead there's a bus stop. if they are on the second lane from the left, they will have problem moving back to the left most lane for pick up passengers if there is any. Whereas for non-peak hour, comes down to preference.
The reason why the BCs don't like to drive on the left most lane is because there are vehicles who like to stick their head out when turning into the main road, causing them to jam brakes.
