So 486P will start at 4pm for 911S101?
Anyways 452L on 187S103 slot did 911 and not 911E at 7pm ytd. Maybe EDS wrong

Damn confusing nowadays....
TIB486P started at around 4:05pm? First bus I presume.
TIB486P will off around 8:05-8:10pm, whereas TIB487L arrived berth today @ 8:12pm, TIB816X arrive at 8:15pm, then TIB1032J(911) at 8:17pm and followed by SMB283K(showing 911E) at 8:20pm. Thereafter, I guess there's no more 911E from Wdl Int(referring to the 3 S1 slot)
Afaik, 187 crossover will show 911E. The bus departs Wdl int @ 6:45pm, 7:20pm, 7:55pm.
960 crossover will be 7:14pm and 7:40pm. All timing(including 187 ones) are base on estimation, it's about that timing.

don't need to care abt them. they r just posting up their propaganda to make them feel that they won the battle, but in reality if other ppl won, they will just continue to spam by using the cameo spotting long list.....

Serious bus bunching incidents that i witnessed today.
1) Time: 1020am, bus stop outside Lee Wee Nam Library NTU. 7 buses (Service 179) back to back. I know bus bunching is normal for this service but 7 buses i think its kind of a record. Didnt managed to see the rego for the first 3 buses but subsequently, they were 3629, 7596, 3621 and 3642/3643 (Forgot the last one).
2) Time: 7pm, at cck interchange. 4 buses (service 302, a service involved in the new program) bunch together and spotted leaving int back to back. Again i missed the first bus. Subsequently were 546, 1217 and 1153.
3) Time: 715pm, at cck north 5. 3 buses (service 307) bunch together, namely 213, 224 and 961. next bus 210 was a 15-20mins wait.
In other news, SBS9548D (SL199) has a faulty upper deck pax count meter. Kept showing 54 no matter whether there are people going up/coming down. When i was on the bus, upper deck was packed yet it showed there were 54 seats available.

PA4136X (Sentosa Bus 1) - interior needs refurbishment badly: Lots of loose sticker leather, many missing aircon vents at the front half of the bus, window (opp from the exit) loose, dirty handgrips, loose interior panels exposing wood and metal bodywork....
RU3721J (Sentosa Bus 1) - front EDS slanted, front interior sagging where the EDS is tilted...'DOOR CLOSING' chime spoilt, but 'BUS STOPPING' chime very unique... Rear doors have thick rubber on the top arms attaching the rear doors, like PA4144Y...
SBS2813J (ARBP 92) - repainted body!
SBS3677D (ARBP 65) - the 'BUS STOPPING' chime has been changed to a lower pitched bell...
SBS8074K (ARBP 57) - rear door EZ-Link card reader (facing the front half of the bus) spoilt, screen showed:
- 'Unit Faulty'
- ESN: 487e189
- Error: 7
TIB616G (AMDEP SP) - right side aircon spoilt at the rear (after the A/C filter), front right air-con is cold, but not powerful like the left...Middle 'BUS STOPPING' sign got black tape on both sides, front 'BUS STOPPING' sign only shows 'BUS STO'... Anyway, BC used the 'one front door' function at VivoCity! Repainted rims...
*PC8999X (Ex-Five Stars) spotted at Outram Road Shell Kiosk at about 1.40p.m.

>>today there were some changes to the bus timetable due to CNY eve.
1) 307S101 was renamed as 307AP07, run by SMB210X in the place of TIB738M which is still under repair.
2) 307S201 cut by 2 trips..was supposed to end close to 8pm but today last trip reach cck int at 5.22pm, run by TIB700X in place of TIB740E.
3) Today there are no 179A deployed (not sure the morning but nope for evening part). According to BC SBS thought today uni holiday so cut the number of buses deployed to 179. All 179 lambat like hell and all packed to the brim between 12pm at 2pm. Personally only barely managed to board the 5th bus (SBS3624G) from bus stop 27251 after 25 mins wait. SBS3132J in particular, is very far away from the front bus for at least 3 consecutive trips...
>>Also, today SMB56A (172AM05) did a very weird thing. Off service from cck int at around 1010am and was following 172 route, until it reached sunshine place stop, changed back to 172 EDS and pick up pax. But then SMB111Z (172AM06) was just behind so end up these 2 buses back to back until boon lay int, with SMB111Z eventually overtake SMB56A at Old CCK Road..

Sentosa Observations:
1. Bus 1 was damn crowded (even with three buses: PA4139M > PA5278M > RU3719S, VS Bus 2 with only 2 buses)! Beach Station > Siloso Point/Imbiah Lookout shuttles helped to bring Bus 1 passengers going to Siloso Point (Underwater World). Today's fleet (Beach Station > Siloso Point/Imbiah Lookout shuttle) : RU3720L > PA5286P (later went before RU3720L with 'OFF SERVICE' on EDS) > PA5456R > PA5478C
2. Bus 2 only have 2 buses running (RU3718U and PA5279K), so it was really crowded at Beach Station and RWS (everybody was following the Bus 2 queue there, even if they were taking Bus 1)! Beach Station > RWS shuttle brought passengers to and fro... Beach Station > Siloso Point/Imbiah Lookout shuttles helped to bring Bus 2 passengers going to Imbiah Lookout/Beach Station from Siloso Point (Underwater World).
3. Bus 3 queue was made using barricades and a 'BUS 3' desto stuck on a pole, due to the queue being converted to be used for the HarbourFront Int > Beach Station shuttle... Many people were queuing for Bus 3, so PC240T (a Mitsubishi Rosa) was added and would arrive 10 mins after RU3721J, before going off and starting a 20 mins wait for RU3721J again...

>>TIB832Z as of today still with green interior..
>>Today during noon time, there were FIVE 927s on duty. The sequence was 556X>546A>766G>734Z>764L. Fleet add for public holidays?
>>I dun know if i am slow or what, but 701T (confirmed), 719T (confirmed) and 722H (should be..think that is the rego) spotted with habit aircon vent...

1. Crossovers on 927, I guess...
2. As for the DAFs, I don't get what you mean...

The 3 DAFs now have the habit type of air con vent, rectangular one, that is adjustable, no longer the eyeball type...sorry..i realised its the habit type (somewhat similar to the one below)..MAN type is slightly different...
But i dun rmb 927 having crossovers during noon time leh.
Anyway, i left out one more...was onboard SMB320L with new livery on 969. It overtook SBS8220E on sv3 and the SBS BC was doing some hand gestures to the SMRT BC. He was pointing to the new livery and then a thumbs up!

RU3720L (Sentosa Beach Station > Siloso Point/Imbiah Lookout shuttle) - leather aircon ducts were covering some holes used formerly for aircon vents at the front...
TIB557T (KJDEP 67) - aircon damn powerful at 25'C, like TIB547Y, TIB549S and TIB586J!
Got some spare Volgren O405 bottom seat covers... 
TIB1101T (KJDEP 188) - just got new ad, so not getting refurbished soon... Middle 'DOOR CLOSING' sign and chime both spoilt... 3rd rear trailer seat between the rear exit door and rear (both) has a random stand under it, for support...
TIB1108A (KJDEP 190) - rear PIS very unstable... It randomly shows lines when the bus goes over bumps and would show 'WAKE-UP ELECTRONICS' when it is about to turn off or is already blank...
The time and date are also outdated... Strangely, the black part to hide the wiring is finally placed tidily in the right position finally! 3rd rear trailer seat between the rear exit door and rear (both) has a stand under it, like TIB1101T... But, the stand is the same as the one as the seat in front, just that it's not screwed to the floor!*TIB815Z interior aircon ducts no longer have the Fisherman's Friend ads anymore. However, TIB549S strangely still has them... I guess it's because the first bus got the Bushiroad ad, while the latter went adless...

Forgot SMB320L got the new livery! Anyway, the DAFs got those adjustable vents (from the OCs, since they are the same as the Habits) since refurbishment... The Strider Scanias got them too, if I'm not wrong, the aircon ducts are actually new, just moulded from the original ducts... As for 927, I guess it's random crossovers or fleet adds (didn't you say that?
) made by the depot to cope with the load...
