  Not very sure whether the Yutong is on service 854 today or not. SMB19H on service 854 bunch with TIB984T in the PM peak (it might be cameoing for another rigid).

  Ok thanks.

  Saw both SMB19H and SMB135E on service 854 today. SMB135E is on its destinated AM/PM01 slot for this week.

  SMB19H is likely to be on TIB530U's slot (AM/PM10) for these 2 days.

  Refer to my previous thread as below for details:-

  Well, the story goes like this...

  The destinated SMB135E driver is the one who used to drive TIB527E followed by SMB45G if I am not wrong. When SMB135E became service 854 perm according to YIBP roster, SMB45G was handed over to the SMB19H driver (SMB19H is supposingly to have become AMDEP SP by now). As SMB135E was still unable to be on the roads yet, SMB19H continued to run on service 854 with the destinated SMB135E driver in charge (so called drivers swop OC500LEs with one another instead ).

   

  SMB19H according to the roster should be a SP, just that it regularly does service 854. Will verify with the YIBP rosters again for any other changes.

  One unique part of this bus is the rear EDS, which still display the destination. IMHO, the rear EDS do not really need to display the destination, just the desto number will do. Hope if SMRT considering buying Yutong, take my suggestion into consideration.

  Cheers.

  I rode on one YCK6129HG, it smells China (all the China buses have this disgusting plastic smell), it looks China (the front), and all the other things were seemingly copied from Neoplan.
