  Cos they also need to change the ads on TIB425R mah. Zone 1511 expired liao, now OCBC ads took over for this bus. It appeared on 173 on Friday with OCBC ads.

  TIB425R EDS re-formatted. Didn't get the chance to see that "awesome" font of hers, but now her format is very similar to 484U, 526H, 595H etc.

  I thought the format is the same - left route number, right route details?

  btw iirc it's reported in the news where SMRT plans to upgrade 100(?) buses with new orange EDSes.

  TIB958U EDS reformatt-ed

• TIB537B

  10 Aug 09, 19:55

  So SMRT did try the format where the route number on the right (folllowing OC's LAWO), but why did they revert it back to the left of the EDS?

  

• sgbuses

  I can only think of one explanation - the database controller chip for LAWO SICMA may not be backward-compatible with existing LLE flip-dot controllers.

  If this is indeed correct, this is probably what happened :

  - Depot staff in long-term wants to standardize all future EDS to display route number on right. For legacy EDS, they would keep in existing format as they might not want to reprogram everything all over again.  (Because it involves mini LAWO, Hanover, Mobitec ELBO and Twin Vision/Transit Media EDS with different databases)

  - New SICMA EDS replaces a single unit. Depot staff is unable to retrieve data from an existing SICMA EDS controller in time with number desto on left, or it might have been lying around in another depot. In a rush, he creates some common destos on the software and downloads it into new single unit and puts the unit back into service until they can retrieve the data from an existing one or another depot.

  - In other cases, they don't have an existing unit either, but have a spare OC lying around. In that case, data is synced from the OC to the new unit until they can retrieve from an existing replaced SICMA EDS. Hence the case of desto number on the right.

  Shouldn't be TIB970H cos it did 961 2 days ago. The Volgren Merc got ads?

  If no, then maybe WLDEP bus liao, TIB961J or TIB972C.

  1010Y should be either WL 852 or SP I thought? See it on 981 quite often already, bright bright orange EDS can be seen easily in the early morning
