  LOL? Something like STARIS?

  Like real. The normal Merz O405 Interior EDS is more like a next stop system. Tells you the next stop from it's E-GPS. E-GPS from the IDFC.

  I would have suppose it's actually hardcoded to the EZLink system (changes as the farestage goes)...and not some fantastic GPS system they have, no?

  Yeah. It's something like the 'system name' of the bus stop.

  An OC was featured in the front page of The Straits Times. Unknown OC on 171. Any idea how come this bus don't have WAB logo?

  

  I suspect this bus is Batch 2. Probably that's why no WAB logo at the moment.

  I dun think not all batch 1 OCs have their logo.

   

  And also saw SMB3C heading to WLDEP maybe for servicing.

  SMB1H has a new announcement.

  LoL, board it from Boon Lay, the announcement which says, Please move to the rear, sounds different.

  I think its like that since it first came out, always hear it on 190 last time.

  the metal bar seems to be for fitting a dress rim, those coaches with the dress rims which dropped off also has a similar fitting. wonder how ugly it will become if they really install the dress rims.

  "Ding Dong...Please move to the rear for the benefit of boarding passengers."

  heard it on an OC during peak hours on 171. the bus is really crowded. the SL kept pressing this announcement at every stop.

  Hey .. I might be new.. Maybe fyi. SBSt are also coming up with new buses like SMRTB. Was at Tuas Industrial est. And saw this bus design similar to SMRTB. I thought it was an SMRTB. SO i shrugged it off. But when I suddenly recalled that there is no SMRT Bus service at Tuas there. SO i turn I glanced back and to my shock.... ITS SBSTR ... they are testing the bus..... The bus is like super new. All the plastic covering the chair ar estill intact.
