  Do you know that Boon Lay Interchange is the only interchange to have all of its feeder services to have DD on their routes

  TIB832Z is currently the only NWAB rigid in SMRT's fleet to operate on revenue service

  Did the DAFs mysteriously get wiped out? I still see DAFs cameos reported as recent as 9 March.

  You sure? 703M-705H are still operating on 970, and 715D and 717Z operating on 172. 722H operates occasionally on 172

  My apologies for my earlier post, what I meant to write is the only NWAB O405 rigid on revenue service, thanks for pointing out my error.

  DAFs still alive? Did they get lifespan extension? They're at least 20 years old as of July.

  While the whole 1996-1997 batches did get lifespan extensions (except 720M), half of the fleet had been laid up subsequently and gone.

  "Hold time" is the duration when the bus stops for a while at the side of the road, when it is ahead of schedule.

  The maximum "hold time" allowed by SBS is two minutes.

  No, they were Voiths, at least for the second batch which stayed long enough and were transferred to SSB/CSS, despite what was stated on the TIBS website.

  What could possibly go wrong? China unveils elevated bus that drives over the TOP of other cars

  • 'Transit Elevated Bus' allows cars to pass underneath it, alleviating traffic
  • Scale model was demonstrated at a technology expo in Beijing last week
  • It is designed to carry 1,200 passengers but will be cheaper than a subway
  • The futuristic buses could be running by the end of the year

   

  Chinese engineers are going off the charts with some futuristic buses. Wonder what would happen to their city transport systems in a few years to come.

  Seriously i start to miss the old Woodlands regional interchange,Seeing BCs having a hard time find parking lots during peak hours make me wonder why LTA dont built a same size temp int for them?
