  If SLBP still continues to deregister those buses, there will be further shortage of buses. This is what they are facing now.

  Somemore all are like long haul routes. Want to touch, touch those short distance 241.

  Kns, take for only 2km, no one wants to move to upper deck. Waste buses and still complain cannot board

  Morning 254, 255 nong queue and for 255, chaos at PNR still gets VO2x.

  
  cannot remove la.. David Lim will complain...

  9118L braking sound sucks tell you the truth. But how come never get extended? It was refurbished with red duct earlier on. Maybe recent intaking of wrights, no choice but to dump it away?

  Iirc, i saw 9130A last time was still unrefurbed (still with old grey duct)

• Simply.90

  23 Jan 11, 16:57

  SBS9116S and SBS9132U also unrefurbed if I didnt rmb wrongly. but it seems that having refurbishment or not is not the only deciding factor for extension. not all extended ones are refurbed anyway.

  Thought SBS9130A still have the Casio ad?

  Just saw one leyland DD towed by Yishun tow truck along PIE towards Changi Airport at about 5pm today evening. Both side of the eng cover has been removed. Anyone know where is ended up? Is it somewhere at Defu lane for scrap? That the only place I can think of where alot of old japanese lorries and truck parked there for re-exporting. There is no other place in east side of Singapore doing the scraping work of the bus.
