  In fact i only saw the buses heading straight after Yishun MRT station (following the mrt track) driven by someone in dark blue. If it doesn't go to Yishun Industrial Park where else can it go?? Sembawang??

  interestingly I recall seeing a kjdep habit turning into amdep inspection centre. Quite common to see SMRT rigids inside too. Haha.

  Saw SBS666E parking beside SBS7888K inside amdep two mondays ago near the bus wash. I think SBS666E went in for inspection. cool.

  TPE(PIE) exit to Punggol Road closed. reason not known.
  
  services 86 & 161 exit at Sengkang East Road like 85 and go straight to Punggol Rd.
  
  car drivers however had to go straight to Lorong Halus/KPE i guess.

  there is a very big difference from scratch marks and dents caused by cars and debris on the ground caused by a falling load from a truck.

  Extra buses to replace some from the depot? Cause last time, the whole WRI left with 1 DD, and the depot sent 2 DDs(1 B9TL and 1 DDs of Bedok svc.) to Woodlands interchange.

  Today, while I was on board SBS8942E on Service 243W, a middle-aged woman was eating and drinking with her daughter on the bus. Then, they said, "This food tastes nice!"

  The Bus Captain (BC) overheard their conversation and shouted at them for eating and drinking in the bus. Then, they stopped eating and drinking and became very quiet.

  They alighted at Pioneer Rd North (Blk 978).
