  I think it broke down along Tampines Ave 7, opposite the Tampines North Park. This occurred when I passed by at around 8.10am. I could only catch the first 2 digits of the rego and it had a Discovery Channel advert. The front desto was not removed and it showed 21.

  Bus charter operations are handled by ComfortBus now since they are one entity. SBST can thus divert resources to other necessary areas (not including Sv. 90)

  Going towards St. Michael. Think it broke down quite a long time ago since leeJZ spotted it earlier.

  Can I ask you something? Why do you hate 29, is it because of the buses? If so, I have the same feeling as you. What is wrong with 9532Z ? I remembered that poor bus had an accident, the scania on 292 crashed into the backside of 9532Z and fuel tank had a leak.

  Yea Im tired of all those ancient Scanias (most of them the two digits + letter one) doing Svc. 29, but I understand why they are there - they dont past by most housing estates, only Tampines and then all the houses along the Loyang area, thus its better to put the newer buses on routes that have more exposure. And I hate Svc. 29's route also. Going in a circle by turning off Ave 7 after exiting from Interchange just like Svc. 28 and 293.
  
  I hate 9532Z because I seem to get this bus everytime now. Grr. For some reason, the Carlsberg one is always on the opposite side of the road and the Tiger and Tetra ones nowhere in sight (only took Carlsberg & Tiger 1x, Tetra 0x. Even when I was waiting for a Svc. 81 bus at Serangoon Int, I met it yet again...(luckily I got on a MK5 instead)

  SBS2822H of Service 81 had 'sv. 65' scrawled on the dashboard in marker. Did Service 65 ever have MK4s?
  
  SBS120G, one of the those square looking MB405s, caught changing service going towards Tampines Ave 7 on Loyang Ave.
  
  A NAC Scania was doing some training around the Serangoon Area.
  
  A VO with one of those milk ads (Red colored) changing service near Serangoon.
  
  3 VSOs spotted on Service 168, on Tampines Ave 7/10 going towards Bedok.
  
  Service 27 had a lot of MK3s. I thought they mostly had MK4s?
  
  MK4 on Service 3 going towards Punggol in Pasir Ris, near White Sands Primary School.

  Wait a minute, 120 is M not G and its with a Alexander PS(round one) and not the Duple Mestec and there is no MBO405 ending with SBSX20G, the first one is 720G, a MK3
  
  th1988: there was 3653Y on 90 that day

  Why not dump all 199(or 198 or 197) of the Scanias to central.
  
  I dunno if the burnt Scania thing on 90 is true or not but 3612R and 3689U are now MIA., while 0071X was burnt to death on service 16 .
