rigids is 12m buses or as known as normal single deck bus
TQ = Three Quarter shift.. usually starts around 7-9am and ends around 5-6pm depending on how long the service is, with mealbreak or tea break or even both.

Wah, a regular bus got 12m? I thought vehicles longer than 11m must put a Long vehicle sign on the back of their side (Such as the bendies).
TQ, so it is a between Part time job to Full time job given that there are breaks.

its actually vehicles more than 13m or more must put the Long Vehicle sign, this applies on SBS997A also, 3 axles, the Superlong Volvo B10M MK4 on Service 62
TQ is still a full time job though
I find it strange to see only 2 buses ply on 920 today instead of 3: TIB504X and TIB805C.

You didn't see TIB590X on the 15th? I saw all 3 buses.
If SMRT confirmed to buy the 66 Citaro rigids,I would think that O405 buses rego from 425R-441T(17) due to scrap earlier than schedule(2011).Plus another possibilities UMW Lances will be sold and few will be scrap earlier.I also feel that they will buy Yutongs with minor facelift but in a small units.If they were to buy few WAB Bendies then Hispano MKI will have to be sold probably to New Zealand,Australia or even Brazil.

Don't know where to post this
The BC of SBS 8567E(BNDEP 36)on Svc 36 argued with a Comfort taxi driver at Airport Blvd towards Changi Airport as the bus almost collided with the taxi along ECP as the taxi driver never give way to the bus while the taxi was at the exit from TPE

fyi, the volume of the announcements can be adjusted by the SL, except for Doors Closing n the bus stopping chimes.
