  Reminds me of Woodlands Rd lorry form up queue.

  At times it can be terrible, stretching back to Mandai Rd. At this time, you still see CW1 buses trying to hoard up the Kranji Rd junction attempting to u turn.

  In e first place, tat place is not a designated u - turn, not to say when the left lane is clogged w/ formed up lorries.

  This is my first time seeing a bendy U-turning infront of Kranji Stn bus stop. I guess the BC is letting other off-duty BCs to alight. The bendy is TIB883B.

  Common for the old flip dot EDS to show problems though, some buses had their side EDS jammed.

  Installing mobitec doesn't sound good for a bus that might or might not last for the remaining months to go though.

  Yah, its TIB 53I S. Its been like this for many months.

  AMDEP had been playing stunts like this, including TIB III3 J, having "BUS STOPPING" sign as "DOOR CLOSING".
