  Hello from germany,

  I´m a 46 year old busenthusiast from germany and I´m interested in Mercedes Benz buses around the world. Does anybody here have the VIN (or chassis-numbers) of the great fleet of the SBS Citaros? I have the VIN numbers for SBS6000 until SBS6153D, but the rest is missing. Can anybody help  me?

  Thanks and greetings - Uwe -

  Does anyone know why a MAN NL323F with trade plate (not officially registered yet) was at the Tuas Checkpoint bridge on 2nd Feb (Sat)? Would be good news if SMRT is planning to run the NL323F via Tuas!

  Actually its because Pasir Ris receives the most precipitation among the towns in SG, so to shelter people more effectively and to make sure water doesn't accumulate on the roof, a rounded roof was an obvious choice.

  Which doesn't exactly help either compared to those in other neighbourhoods, because all the bus stops I've been to at PSR all these years doesn't help in sheltering the people. Everyone stands in one straight line along the pavement extending from the bus stop to the blocks everytime it rains over here in PSR, no joke. 

  Actually abit off-topic, but honestly the rain in PSR is always coming down at a slanted angle, with or without the help of wind. Not sure if it's because of the proximity to the airport or the height of the blocks over here (max 13storeys of flats / condos here anyway), but the rain always falls at a very diagonal angle. So the rain shoots straight down into the pavement. the extended shelter for the unique bus stops doesn't help at all.

  It is TQ shift, which means it would start later end before night, But that depends. Usually saturday's TQ or T-shift starts from 7-9 in the morning, and end at 1715-1900 latest 1915, >1915 is S-shift.

  What are the timings for E-Shift usually? Thanks!

  SBST duties A,P am and pm.S split shift break interval around 3 and half to 5 hours 

  E shift equal similar to split but interval is much lesser ie between 2 half hour to 4 hours break with lots of ot,T three quarter shift start late and finish late,Usualky during weekends or holidays or svc with short hours operations.Working hours range from 9-13 hours with longer tea break times.SMRT ones are similar except duty codes is different AM/PM,S1,S2 same like E and TQ

  SMB119C PIS shows "Follow your schedule" after the standard PIS info. For example after "Please Move To The Rear" it shows "Follow your schedule", does anyone know what it means?

  hahahahaha.

  Actually its kinda early for April Fool's day, but gotcha.

  Sorry SMB128B, I logged in pretty late to tell you that the post was to pull your leg.

  Please find the answer in svc_238's posts.

  I hope to be forgiven for the fracas

  How does a starter deploy a certain rego on their buses at the start of the day especially for split shift buses?

  At times observe that split perm take over full day perm e.g 968R take over 283K in 911 and 283K take over 128B.

  PM peak always see the full day buses like 1032J and 1070Z perm 911 on split for 960. AM peak less chance to spot split cameos coz always see split perms.
