985 now overnight parking at cck int...spotted it on 985AM02 timetable...
Also, SBS8592G with pink bus tickets..those tickets meant for 160/170 like the DM and MK3 times??
Probably because 172 shifted to BUDEP, that's why got space to save up for KJDEP... SBS8592G BC maybe just add random tickets due to shortage of regular ones.

A couple of 168 DDs also got the sound but run faster on expressway..Sound like a wreck exaust muffler. 858 can use OCs if Amdep control minor of it..Especially for 1st and 2nd bus from Airport and the last 3 buses to Airport.(858B terminate at Airport) or even downtrip from TPE towards Wlds -
SBS2830J (33) has a rough and loud engine
-
TIB1051D engine also sound damn bad now
-
Im afraid that the E500s and the newer A22s will also tio this syntom if SMRT still stick to their same attitude

SMB170C and a Citaro spotted along 169H and 62G on 167 today during Am peak
-
* SMB322G, SMB1410D, SMB1415R shiny rims...

I was at Boon Lay Bus Interchange last Saturday evening, wanting to take 243W. The queue was quite long (the waiting line outside the metal structure seems to extend all the way to 243G berth area), yet it was a Scania K230UB Single Deck bus being deployed to collect passengers. The moment I saw that, I left the queue and went to take other bus services (eg. 179, 181, 192, 193, etc.) that have less people queuing for, and alighted halfway (eg. at Gek Poh bus stop, at Ave 4 bus stop, etc.) to transfer to 243W/G, which by then the loading would have been reduced. I did this because I know the Single Decker bus is not able to accommodate people beyond a certain section of the waiting line outside the metal structure. True enough, while I was about to board bus service 181, I saw quite a number (not only a handful) of passengers at 243W waiting line being “left behind” as the Single Decker bus left the berth.
Yesterday, I experienced the same thing again. I could have taken 179 at Pioneer MRT Station, but I decided to take 243W at Boon Lay Bus Interchange to go home because it was raining quite heavily and I know how the shelter is like over at Pioneer MRT Station. Again, I saw a long waiting line for 243W and yet it was a Single Decker bus collecting passengers. So I went to take 179 (well, at least I would not get wet at Boon Lay Bus Interchange), alighted at the Pioneer Road North bus stop and transferred to bus 243W. In the end, I was still wet, although not as wet as if I were to take 179 from Pioneer MRT Station.
I would like to suggest a swop of (at least) one Single Decker bus with one Double Decker bus on Feeder bus service 243W during evening peak hours, even on weekends.
