  MB O405 SBS 194 A doing Sv 26 (Ex Sv 53, had old purple Sv 53 bus guides on bus)
  
  Why some of Sv 88's ADDs not painted red/purple on the front?
  
  VSOs on Sv 56? That high demand? I took it today (MB O405 with 7 eleven ad) and demand was not too high...
  
  I was waiting for Sv 88 at TPY Interchange. There were two ADDs there. When I was boarding one of them, I saw two drivers and this guy going on the other bus...
  
  Why are Sv 157's buses parked at the TPY Feeder area?

  157 and 163 is at D1 where 231 is at D2 gate. It is just beside HDB Hub and the most extreme end of the Int.

  Going down to TPY again to check on services espically 157. I saw VSO some days back.
  
  Got a shock yesterday (Saturday) when 90 was NAC, might be due to AA 2004.

  One probable reason to the 90 NAC is because AMDEP has a deployment problem due to VSO deployment on AA.

  Just got back from Aerospace, they deployed something like 50 (!) VSOs and VO 3 axles...spotted Sv 25 and Sv 28 bus guides on some of them...anyone have any info on which services they were pulled from? Those things plus about 5-8 TIBS buses for the SAF Tekong charters (MB O405s + DAFs) really crammed the small PSR Interchange up...
  
  BTW how many VSOs does SBS have? and the Expo services were operated by MK4 DM3500s...

  Summary of 88 "special" DD:
  9188J(new interior)
  9630Z, first bus to have a top windscreen ad, famliy matters, while its body aint advertised.
  9613Z,9617M,9618K,9619H,9632T,9637E,9638C(all with unpainted fronts)
  All of the above are normal to me, just that bram is saving money on paint.
  
  157 is supposed to be placed in the trunk area of TPY int, but at the last minute before the opening of the new aircon interchange, they found out that there was no space, so they placed it at the feeder side.
  
  73 and 163 buses don't park in TPY int, they loop, 73 count it as a loop service, but 163 starts it as another direction from Toa Payoh.

  Tekong charters from TIBS do not use DAFs. They only use Dennis Lances and occasionally MB O405s.

  SBST uses ard 20 to 25 VSOs for the AA2004 shuttle.
  
  SBST has 51 VSOs, SBS 9800 to SBS 9849 and SBS 9888.

  You mean all service 163 buses park at Sengkang interchange? Sengkang interchange is already so small.
