Was in service again during split shift. Wonder why was the logo painted over, accidental deployment or was there a mix up between it and the retired Olympians.
This bus is always on service, but I myself don't understand why is it not painted with the livery either.

Was onboard SMB209B (172PM05) at around 7.05pm to 7.47pm. Boarded from Boon Lay. At the stop (Choa Chu Kang Ave 1, Blk 204), after alighting some pax that wished to alight, the bus just stopped there, with both entrance door and exit door still open. It just stayed there for at least 2-3 mins. Glanced at the driver console and realised he is 9 mins ahead of schedule (timing was shown in red flicking background). Think HQ had warned him to stop the bus. The time that the bus entered the bus bay was 7.35pm
The conversation next made me want to laugh. A pax thought something happened so went to ask the driver if the bus got problem. The reply was:
"I am too early. Will get fine one" (in Chinese since he is a PRC driver)
The pax decided to say:
"So you scared fine so made the whole bus load of pax wait in the bus. So if we complain to SMRT you wun get fined lah!"
Epic win answer and driver just kept apologising and say he has to keep with the rules.
After another 3 mins, the bus started moving towards cck int. This time console showed BC was 4 mins ahead of schedule and has turned green. A total of 6 mins delay thanks to that! Bus only left bus bay at 7.41pm. -
BTW what happened to 300 today? Got 3 rigids full day leh..at first thought replace 746 but 746 was on service on its usual spilt slot leh..
