  Sv 160's headway is erratic again. Should be only 1 bus running per direction in local leg at any 1 time.

  Maybe still have chance of getting PVC seats with the headrest still intact. Some Malaysian buses have PVC seats with headrest (the seats are also the same)

  Something abit strange happened today. TIB1144U went 2 rounds around Woodlands Circle before going towards Admiralty Station. It might be because TIB1142A was late,TIB1144U was early or the driver lost his way.

  Ya,I was on 1144U,when the driver went straight,I was like "WTH  ,uncle sleeping isit?". 

  Btw,I think TIB1144U was ultra early,pack with 1142A during 1142A's slot (which is on time).

  I don't know, but did he go solo or another driver supervise him?

  I remember 178 kena trainee drivers though. Back in August, 777A came on, there were 2 drivers, last week when TIB8l8R cameoed on 178 also kena 2 drivers.

  He was driving by himself. He got back to the usual route after he looped WDL Circle the 2nd time. (I think he started his trip way too early as 1144U packed up with 1142A in 1142A's slot)

  173 berth.... Spotted Scania Striders parking like this a lot of times, probably waiting for the 852 bus to leave and find the space.

  TIB805C has a very super soft bus stopping bell and has NO sound for Doors Closing. Last time, BS was "TAT" and DC was "TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT".
