  Evidence:
  
  A number of TIBS taxis has their logo removed and a sign, saying "What's new & coming up soon"
  
  Have any of you spotted any difference @ Tibs lately?
  
  What are your comments on this?

  STIB..Why? All the SMRT group start with 'S'(SMRT,SLRT,SMRTE...)
  
  What does STIB stands for? "Singapore Trans Island Buses", STIB. It retains the TIB Brand but also shows a link with SMRT.

  If they want to be simple-minded and do it that way, I don't really mind. But retaining the TIBS heritage is better, IMO.

  One more evidence that the name change is coming soon is the press release documents on the website. Most of them write: SMRT Corporation, Press release

  Some still have the TIBS Taxi logo, if I'm not mistaken. Sekali it's renamed SMRTaxi.

  The TIBS taxi logo in the airport transfer ads (along the side of the top of bus) has been blackened out.

  Probably to prevent confusion, I guess.

  Actually, quite a lot of people are confused already. They don't even know that SMRT & Tibs are merged!
