  BC for SMB1464Z (172S101) today super reckless. His name is: Thanjavour Rajaran Prabhuram.

  He stepped on the accelerator and brake like nobody business...and a couple of times he sped and suddenly emergency brake to avoid rear-ending other vehicles...the closest was when it was leaving Boon Lay Int, it nearly rear-ended SBS8988Z...the side mirror was almost touching the rear window of SBS8988Z...

  Worse still, BC was talking to 2 trainee BCs throughout and he was speeding whenever he can. Surprisingly, the speeding device did not ring (was the device working?)

  And he even caught up with TIB715D which departed Boon Lay Int almost 10 mins before him...

  Maybe last day of work

  1) Are they gg to free up BBDEP for another service?

  2) Are they gg to take in new DDs/Taros?

  3) Is it due to the last bus timing?

  
  

  It is been in question in my mind... Before this was SBS 3017 J and SBS 3018 G pair now this SBS 3081 Y and SBS 3089 B..
  

  to free up space at BBDEP.. running out of space due to intake of BSEP buses... AMDEP is also bursting as well..

  Ooh.. I see... I guess aft 96 and the Clementi Feeders go to Tower Transit, there should not be any problem.. Can take back Express 506 back if they want and also 198 return back to BBDEP as full control.

  I feel that 198 route (Boon Lay - Bukit Merah), BBDEP is right at the middle. But I maybe wrong coz ARBP is nearer to Bukit Merah.

  Have tried to locate the sequence for service 172 for this new schedule that went into effect from 121015. Will update accordingly once i get more information...

  Service 172 sequence for 131015:

  Off Peak (depart cck from 120pm): 3087R >> 1594G (BPS1S251) >> 57Y >> 721K >> 59S >> 829J >> 6U >> 56A >> 1557P (BPS1) >> 723E

  PM peal (arrive BL from 545pm): 1028Y >> 1594G (BPS1S251) >> 5065R (172S107) >> ??? >> 105S >> 133K (replace 57Y?) >> 721K >> 1212G >> 59S >> 88H (172S101) >> 829J >> 1087B (172S102) >> 6U >> 56A >> 1084J >> 723E >> ??? >> 3087R >> ??

  - saw SBS7339D has an extra mirror fitted on its front left wing mirror.. looks like those normally fitted on lorries..
  
  - saw a CDGE B9TL the rear left reverse light started blinking instead of the signal light when the left signal was turned on.. noticed this problem quite alot on those CGDE B9TLs only for quite some time alr..
  
  -SMB3135K the top rear red lights also light up when the brakes are activated. so i guess some of the A22s are also programmed this way like the A24s??

  TIB985R with red logo, spotted yesterday on 184. Seemed to be a poorly done job; apparently it was still with the original logo during AM peak and probably got pasted before it came out for PM.. Eventually breakdown after Shell station

  I am surprised nobody wrote about the changes on the screen of EZ-Link card readers, since around two weeks ago.
