  Warner Bros. Singapore is pleased to launch a special Knight Bus event to promote “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” movie. An SBS Transit double decker bus will be dressed up in brilliant purple to create the look of the Knight Bus. The Knight Bus will take passengers on a ride along Orchard Road. There will be a variety of activities onboard the bus and lucky passengers will also stand to win wonderful “Harry Potter” movie premiums.
  
  This event is scheduled to run from 28th May to 9th June 2004. The Knight bus will pick up the passengers from the bus stop at National Youth Park. The first run begins at 11:00am and the last ride for each day is at 8:00pm.
  
  The free boarding bus tickets can be collected from the Knight Bus ticket booth at Cathay Cineleisure Orchard, Level 1 from 10:00am till 7:30pm. Tickets are available on a first come, first served basis. All passengers must be at the bus-stop at the National Youth Park 10 minutes before the Knight Bus is scheduled for departure.

  Rego = registration number of vehicle.
  
  Triple deckers pose danger.

  If there's a triple decker, it will become a double decker bus when it tries to pass under an overhead bridge.

  Looking at that contraption, I wonder how it managed to successfully evade flipping over. The CoG of that ruddy thing must be damn high!

  CoG as in Centre of Gravity?
  
  Are you kidding? A high CG would cause the bus to flip over at the first intance of a turn.......instead i think they put plenty of weights on the lower deck to lower the CG and stabilise it.
