762S and 781L's theme is Balance is the key to perfection, Not sure about the rest. Took 762S last sat, 781L yesterday. -

It's quite surprising there's always for sure 1 Sv 170 blue plate on standby and moving into MRT Stn bus stop immediately aft 1 departs.
As for CW1 side, there were times there was no buses at all. Yeah, as the bus arrived, there was 1 kaki shouting "JB" trying to fill up e bus.
2 Sv 170 departure = 1 CW1 departure.
you should go and stand there everyday.. There are days whereby ZERO blue plate 170 is there and at the same time there is 8-10 CW1 waiting at the roadside.

At what time? Discount Friday off.Although there are times there are more CW1 buses around especially during off peak.

is it just me or are our PRC drivers really doing stunts?
1. just now onboard SBS5176U, service 291, on stop line, turns right despite queue of cars that are waiting to turn right into the minor road the bus was on from major road.
2. on service 15, SBS8391U, our bus was 4th bus at a bus stop along marine parade road, one stop before Parkway Parade (short bus stop). bus still on the road and opened doors to alight pax. -
Today there seems to be a lot of Malaysian registered trucks heading towards teh W'lands Checkpt and teh queue is unbelievable. The queue of teh trucks extended out of teh checkpt into Kranji MRT and even further towards Woodlands Road till teh Heavy Vehicle Parks! They occupy teh leftmost lane of the road and my bus, together with other bus (TIB500G on 961 was another) was seriously delayed. I rmb that teh BC had to alight passengers on teh second lane. Some of teh truck drivers even horned at me bus and teh BC horned back. Then later become honking war liao.
-Observed at 9pm aboard svc 960. Situation still gng on nw according to onemotoring

No. It was anyhow painted all over the place, even the grey portion also kenna some white paint.It sems like AMDEP had used sponge to absorb the white paint and stamp TIB1218R's back until it looks very ugly.

Originally they spray fresh paint over it, install back the Merc badge and sticker the SMRT logo at the back. Then don't know why they spray it over again, this time not so well done.But that doesn't matter very much, it's still a splendid bus with awesome aircon, transmission and cleaniness. :D

if you do not know, there is a security feature for the exit door of the Citaro. you cannot open the exit door and close it immediately. it works in such a way that once you open the exit door, you can only close it at least 3 seconds later.

Imagine if those KUB drivers who luv to anyhowly stop at bus stops where there is no one alighting/boarding drive teh Citaro. If they open the entrance/exit doors and close them on KUB and this one have to wait 3 sec, they gonna delay teh bus dam seriously
