I think you should check by alighting at Sengkang West Road to get what I mean...
Today, I notice at Boon Lay Bus Interchange, there are new televisions, like the ones at Serangoon Bus Interchange. Last time, it was one television screen. Now, it's two television screens. Right side is the bus departure timings. Left side is either 'Welcome to Boon Lay Interhange' or some cartoons. I think it's today first day, as in, today start to install. Just now on my way home, I notice the old tv screen at berth 1 area is switch off. I think today after operation hours they will replace it with the new televisions.
The old/current television brand is LG. I not sure what is the brand of the new television. maybe LG, maybe other brands.

I think next time is 3d tv. lol
imagine the tv screen so 3d until the bus can look like it's coming out...
195B introduced from Marina Center terminal to terminate at Commonwealth Dr...
So basically does the full journey in one direction like 62A.
I still haven't understood the purpose of such SWTs for looping services. Is it that they want to terminate there... so that they can have better control on timings and bunching on return journey?

Cannot be... def 62A loading in direction of Punggol is better than other way round when 62A plies.

Bidadari flats announced. Most flats are lined along Upper Serangoon road between Potong Pasir and Woodleigh MRT.
So far we have already known the 6 out of 12 bus depots that LTA is building.For west side,we already knew about Bulim,East side is Loyang.Future include Sungei Seletar(North),Ulu Pandan(West),Mandai(North) and Changi(East).What about Northeast and Central areas?Imho Central need 2 depots(Bt Merah side etc and Kallang side etc),Another 2 just nice is Northeast and probably Northwest(Bt Panjang/CCK side)..What do you think?
To be honest 12 depots isnt suffice enough,Most probably another one near Jurong Port or even Tuas and one at Upper Thomson is great.

I wonder why sv902 is classified as a feeder service when it mainly serves the students and staff of Republic Polytechnic.

"The transport authority also said the system will also allow it to work with public transport operators to make timely interventions such as adjusting bus schedules, replacing single-deck buses with double-deck or bendy buses, and adding half-way trips to help ease crowding"
Bendy buses as another option if DD isn't suitable/applicable...
...
can 292 try dd? i'd like to see dd cameo on it.

It seem like from 12-4 pm 195 won't be in operation from marina centre. Most likely they are allowing the BC to change shift there n have meal break there. So once 195B bus reach the last stop, another BC will take over n then start new 195 trip from Queensway. Cso previously sv195 BCS are having meal break at shenton way terminal I think.

Loading is sufficient for SDs,No need DDs at all.
Pioneer Road North. Weekday morning. around 7am to 8am. especially the bus stop at blk 840 where there is only one public bus service. I have said enough.
(knn. I actually wasted $4.50 on taxi today to travel from blk 840 bus stop to Pioneer MRT station, because when the 179 bus finally come, I cannot board because full already. Yet no sign of next bus coming. And the bus stop still a lot of people.)
I have said enough over the months. Not going to say again.
