  ...that the reason why TIBS placed the route number on the (hard to see) left hand side of the EDS was because of the Europeans?

  For the desto holder,the front one is used to place notices like route division or stuff

  As for the MAN with Gemilang bodywork, it does looks like our MAN over here

  looks so similar. they are using outswing plug doors too, with the wheelchair ramp at the rear, just that on a slightly different chassis.

  TIB1184D (WLDEP 962) have a KUB door closing chime at the middle door. And the light inside the cover of the Door Closing was changed to lime green instead of forest green.

  saw a K230 on 186 today using the new plate.

  the BC put it at the usual spot near the ezlink readers instead of at the sunshield.
  really disgusting :S

  actually if u notice properly the bus stopping sign is actually a not of the light of that colour, or how am i able to phrase it...it is actually a film of that colour that actually produces the colour of that tone.

  Maybe I get what you mean

  The bus stopping sign's light's colour is made by the cellophane paper (a kind of transparent coloured plastic),which is stuck on the sign itself.

  Is this what you mean?

  And all the berth had a new berth design that uses font similar to the new bus stop pole.

  Yah. The chime is interesting, but the light had been transfered from TIB1196U long time ago. TIB1196U got lime green light for a while, then TIB1184D took over, so TIB1196U back to normal forest green light.
