  i like those new super buses where the entrance and exit got no steps one, better for older people in case they trip over steps.

  It's good they don't have TV Mobile. Anyway the reason why there's no TV screens on these buses is because they were introduced 2 years after the TV Mobile service was launched.

  TV Mobile is expensive. Each TV set costs S$1500. Don't forget about the installation fees.

  well certainly 9849 did better than 9846. that is for me only. the 9846 was quite slow. 9849 was also slow but not that slow.
  
  i wish things were like 9844 (night trip) even when on sunday afternoons
  sighz

  Anyway it's still on "trial" on 1500 buses I think, that's about half of the SBST fleet.

  Hah! You think SBST would want to spend money buying those screens? Buy a few hundred more of those screens and they'll go bust! If you get what I mean...
  
  Compared to HK's RoadShow, all new buses (especially those in KMB's fleet) will get the LCD screens fitted.

  No , its not on trial . The trial was on 2 buses 9821 and 9305 and the 1500 buses with TV mobile is permenent until the bus retired i guess .

  Yes I agree to you ZYX.
  
  But 9821 got TV mobile meh, I don't think so.
  
  9888Y was also the VSO used to launch the TV mobile.

  Eventually TVMobile was removed from 2888T, for god knows what reason.
