recently notice some parking lots inside Boon Lay Bus Interchange the sawtooth side have this signboard installed at the front of them.
it says "no... " something... that place... night time day time all day very dark... cannot see what the signboard says...
anyone seen such signboard before elsewhere? what does it say?
unlikely it's "no walking in bus park" because why would it be at the front of bus parking lot facing drivers? and somemore why have to put so many?
is it "no overnight parking" or something?

SMB1377S BC (on 985) had difficulty parking properly at the Wheelchair boarding bay at CCK INT just now around 430pm..BC keep entering and reversing with the help of 2 SMRT staff, and finally managed to let the PIW board after n tries....
SMB1484R (on 307 yesterday and today) had rear door problem. BC had to press many times before the door is able to close

from boon lay to east side.
7 Svc187 bus bunching, SD SD SD BD(Bendy) SD SD SD (all were spread at approx equal distances)
5 SVC 334 bunching, no wonder old dd was deployed at je int at 7.09pm.

for this case definitely not. i boarded this bus on the 2 days it was on 307 and was driven by different BC... both BC encountered the same problem that they were behind schedule... i guessed BC must have reported to the maintenance team after service on Wednesday night -

172 today just before PM peak was in an havoc...all started with SMB59S (172PM06) that broke down. As such, 172PM07 (TIB721K or TIB697Y) was late. The next bus that pulled into the boarding berth was TIB715D (172S107), fresh from depot. In between SMB58U (PM05) and TIB715D there were no bus for at least 30 mins.
As TIB715D was on its way, bus got super packed by Sheng Siong stop so BC had to activate rear door boarding starting from the Civil Defence Academy stop. Many people were complaining of the long way but the kind BC just explained to each of the passengers that complained. The back bus (TIB721K) just moved slowly behind, only once it overtook TIB715D and picked passengers at Tengah Air Base stop...after that, TIB721K was constantly lagging behind, and TIB715D took all the passengers...and TIB715D was super warm...
Not sure what happened but it seem to be the same opposite...SMB57Y (presumly on 172PM04) downrouted from the bus stop before Jalan Bahar towards Boon Lay...
