  i just came back from Langkawi/Penang Trip

  it's cool that i get to see those buses...

  then when i reached SG, seeing our SBST KUBs reminds me of theirs lol

  got 10m & 12m ones

  Actually,their front,side and rear looks exactly the same as our kubs....Only tat their rear has no window and our kubs dosent have those small lights at the bottom side of the bus....

  SMRT on safety checks of buses

  SINGAPORE: SMRT says its buses are cleaned during the early hours of the morning so that they are in time for passenger services.

  During the process, the cleaner will open the doors of the bus to air the vehicle. Once cleaning is completed, the doors will be closed.

  SMRT’s response followed a visit to Yishun Bus Interchange by a MediaCorp reporter on Friday morning.

  He had observed that the doors of the buses were left open.

  SMRT said that to further tighten security, it has reiterated to cleaners that the cleaning of buses should be done one at a time.

  SMRT added that there are security personnel at the interchange to carry out periodic patrols and this was how the MediaCorp reporter was spotted.

  For more of the story, you can read Monday’s edition of the TODAY newspaper.

  that SMB136 is starting to have a semi-faulty rear door. Seems like the bc have to press the button a few times so that the door closes. And also for those who dosent know the vehicle is governed/limited to 60kph.

  It's not a fault. The Citaro can't close its exit doors until its entrance doors shuts fully then teh BC could manage to close the exit.

  One batch 1 OC (suspects SMB54E) gets featured in today's 'The Noose' at 8.30pm just now. Featured at sembawang interchange (the same place where DAF tour was held) displaying 'SMRT Buses' on its EDS.

  The bus licenced carrying capacity chart is generally not prominently displayed inside the bus, esp SMRT Buses. At least the K230s are displayed prominently, which I think should be the way.

  SBS489A's rear both card readers r super sot....All the ppl who tap to exit kena keep on showing red light....Wen i took the bus 1st from the Int,the validator wasnt working and the tickets were jammed as well....Then the china BC called someone in then the validator started working.But then the exit card readers still remained sot.
