The only transportation brands that survived are CSS and Bus Plus.

If anyone wants to save the bus photos, do it fast before SMRT finds out this page and closes it.

Cannot. If SMRT knows, the website will not stay, for sure!Originally posted by bus911:y dun request smrt 2 keep the website.

Even if they keep they'd do some graphic editing first.

How to get 'today' newspaper? I can't find it anywhere near the interchange/mrt station?Originally posted by SBS9818A:There is a big press release on the last page of Today newspaper.
btw, I think it should be publicized through Mediacorp and The Straits Times -
No need what. It's not a major change, to commuters it'll still be TIBS.Originally posted by cck_190:How to get 'today' newspaper? I can't find it anywhere near the interchange/mrt station?

It is quite major if you ask me...One day, our dear commuters walk at the bus stop, they find red and white buses. Won't they get confused?Originally posted by SBS9818A:No need what. It's not a major change, to commuters it'll still be TIBS. -
There was a whole page ad in Lian He Zao Bao today as well if I'm not wrong. Commuters won't be confused, not when SMRT has started putting up posters at bus-stops already (e.g. Bowen Sec bus-stop along Hougang Ave 2).

SMRT to spend $2.5m on rebranding exercise for trains, buses and taxis
By Ken Teh, Channel NewsAsia
TIBS buses and taxis are getting a makeover as parent company SMRT gives the vehicles a new coat of paint and new corporate names.
The move will also effectively remove the TIBS brand from Singapore's roads.
SMRT is spending $2.5 million on the rebranding exercise - but will commuters end up footing the bill?
Four months ago, SMRT's frontline staff were given a new look: lilac shirts and orchid pink blouses.
Now their trains, buses and taxis - are going to be painting the town red.
For the public transport operator, it is all about creating that one consistent look and identity.
Over 800 TIBS buses, along with about 2,000 taxis and about 100 MRT and LRT trains are going for a makeover.
This is all part of SMRT's move to adopt a common brand but all this will come at a cost of $2.5 million.
However SMRT, the island's biggest train operator, says the cost is minimal and will not be passed to commuters.
Choo Chiau Beng, Chairman, SMRT Corporation, said; "$2.5m is only 0.2 percent of SMRT's revenue so we're doing it in a very low cost way. The amount of unity it can achieve, cost synergies it can achieve will more than make up for the small amount we're going to spend."
The buses will be repainted over two years, while it will take half that time to give the taxis and trains their new look. - CNA

Okay, this is weird. How come SMRT put the posters on the bus stops in towns that they don't control first?Originally posted by foxtrot1985:There was a whole page ad in Lian He Zao Bao today as well if I'm not wrong.

saw the news on Channel U. The report states the new corporate image will be splashed on its buses & taxis from tomorrow. and for the press conference, TIB972U is showcased with the new livery. It belongs to Svc 965, am i right?

dont C their pt..they repaint the bus but rego remains tibs...wtf

Rebranding doesn't necessarily mean new set of regoes. It's too much of a hassle to re-register the buses to newer regoes. SMRT has decided on the livery of their vehicles. Let's move on. No point whining over it. As long as the level of the service does not deteriorate, we should be thankful.Originally posted by rancour5:dont C their pt..they repaint the bus but rego remains tibs...wtf
