  Wow! The seats were different! And also, there were more seats, 4 instead of 3 on the right and 6 instead of 4 on the left!

  May I ask, why did further WAB buses (excluding the CDGE) purchased starting from Scania K230UB Euro V onwards have only 1 wheelchair bay?

  cos demand from PIW is not high.

  Bedok depot currently only has 2 Citaros.  How to assign to so many services for now???

  Cannot see rego. Was too far away from the bus.

  And also angry that I can't board the bus!

  Hope tomorrow will still be on service.

  those who have seen any 'live' PIW movement would know e SMRT layout takes skill and time to shift them in n out of the bus.

  The 2nd PIW slot would be pretty difficult to move them if the bus has some 50% loading.

  No need to be so angry. The bus is just registered, you still have more time to ride.
