Observation of ride on NR7 first bus on a friday and saturday:
07/03/09: Kallang Stn - New Upper Changi Rd (Bedok Stadium). Forgot rego. Around 15-20 passengers onboard. 1 or 2 pax got off at Eunos, a few got off a Bedok reservior rd. At Eunos stn, one female pax boarded, asked driver some questions, then alighted at new stop without paying. Other direction of NR7 appeared at junction of Jln Eunos and Bedok Reservior Rd, there were about 20-25 onboard. When bus reached Bedok Nth Ave 3, next NR7 bus of other direction appeared, maybe only 15 pax.
08/03/09: Orchard rd (Dhoby Ghaut stn) - New Upper Changi Rd (Bedok Stadium). Bus was TIB769Z. Slightly less than 10 pax onboard + one who boarded at the same stop. Maybe about 2 - 3 got off at Bedok reservior rd. When bus reached Bedok North Ave 3, one bus of other direction NR7 appeared with maybe 10-15 pax onboard.
Before this I didn't know that there are NR7 trips that start from Pasir Ris.
Observation of 0151 trip of NR7 from City Hall Stn on 1/2/09, after chingay parade:
Bus was TIB436J. about 20-30 pax (those already onboard + those who boarded at city hall. At Orchard, quite a number of pax. Pack to the door when reached Dhoby Ghaut Stn. Some pax alighted at Kallang and Sims Ave. Continued to pick up pax at Sims Ave. Quite a number alighted at Eunos/Bedok Reservior Rd/North Rd. When it reached my house (New Upper Changi Rd Bedok Stadium), left about estimated 25-30 pax. Did not take notice of demand on other direction.

Laid up buses (not officially by one motoring but lay up at depot itself) can still return to svc as long as its road tax havent expired. -

Years back Class 95.0FM sponsored the radio I think. You can listen to radio on the bus at one point of time.
