  Notice that Svc 21 is more frequent on weekdays compared to Saturdays and Sundays.Saturdays so jialat like 12-16 mins per bus.Weekdays around 6-11 mins 

  187 nowadays also frequent but hell lots of SDs..Am peak should add another 2 bendies.Weekends no need much bendies but adjust of run time should be sufficient.

  882 need 1 more bus in its fleet.927 need 2 splitters on weekdays and 1 TQ on Weekends.

  Spotted 5187 and 8911 using new EDS format with the original Hanover font. Displays something like Toa Payoh-P. Pasir Ave 1 and Toa Payoh-Airport Rd for services 142 and 90 on the second line replacing >Toa Payoh. Looks like other loop services' EDS format under BRBP might have this new format as well.

  There's a general reformat of EDS displays going on around.

  Some services have their side displays with complete road names, but very tiny letters.

  Some loop services are displaying (Destination 1 - Loop point)

  27 and 34 are displaying Changi Airport for one direction and switching to Hougang/Punggol for the other direction.
