  Rain, no umbrella, llst cannot walk back

  
  Yeah.

  But imagine my dismay when I tried to take 165 and found to my horror the same situation. DD somemore!

  So I had to walk somemore and take 107 instead.

  Welcome to a mature estate like mine.

  372 won't have this problem as much. Because the next bus-stop after Compass Point is quite a distance already to start with.

  Indeed.

  I once tried to get to my friend's place at Sembawang, tried valiantly to make use of the public transport there.....but eventually gave up and he came to fetch me by car.

  ZF: TIB1019Z to TIB1023K, TIB1061A, TIB1063U to TIB1177A, TIB1198P to TIB1207Y.
  Voith: TIB1025E to TIB1060C, TIB1062Y, TIB1208U to TIB1247G.

  Adding on, the tuning on the ZF for TIB1148J to TIB1177A and TIB1198P to TIB1207Y for Habits and TIB1178Y to TIB1187X for Volgrens are more suited for start-stop operations by reducing the duration of the first gear, very similar to the Volgren mercs and Lance.

  However, some of them were worn out quickly by drivers who keep kicking down resulting in the lock-up occuring in the first gear instead of the second gear, increasing the duration spent on the first gear.

  seem so for SMB137A...not so sure about SBS7888K....  but then there might be chance that SBS7888K might be back on the road.. it was spotted back in AMDEP yesterday.....maybe back from some overhaul/refurnishment from Scania HQ?

  my bro, think about it... he may be referring to humans, due to the two strokes in 11 which resembles the legs of a human...
