  CNG - Compressed Natural Gas, currently only 2 buses on the roads, SBS2988M and SBS2989K, both serving Service 105 (Serangoon-Jurong East). Easily identified with a huge pod on the roof.
  
  EDB - Electronic Destination Board, I guess? The correct term is EDS - Electronic Destination System.

  I won't mind...
  
  After all, it's an indirect contribution to the environment.
  
  But not if the fares get too exhorbitant... for instance, more than max. $2.50 per ride?

  $2.50 per ride? You;d might as well deploy those buses to the Express services..
  I'll prefer between $1.50 and $2.00 for such buses if fares got to rise. soon i'll be paying adult fees anyway.. (graduating from school soon)

  I should say that we would see less of these problem sif we see another bus company challenging the SBST.

  It will not happen. There would not be another company challenging SBST in singapore as the market is too small, and public transport may become chaotic. Face the fact.

  I am willing to pay higher... For a cleaner future environment

  I am willing to pay more too.
  
  By the way, I think bus fares in Singapore are quite reasonable compared to what is being charged overseas- considering SBST and SMRT has a modern fleet with regular frequencies.
