TIB707C is not officially laid up yet. Probably used as an in depot training bus?

Oh. Actually even the TRG Hispano O405s, TIB904A and most of the remaining DAFs have the new red logo already.

Not sure what happened to SMB5065R today... bus was spotted picking up pax at BL Int on 172 around 430pm. When i took the next bus (SMB6U), and while SMB6U was departing the boarding berth, SMB5065R was spotted at the SMRT parking lot, with passengers standing around the BC...

Bus was not seen until SMB6U reaches HTA, when SMB5065R overtook SMB6U. It was displayed as "Off Service" but the passengers were still on board the bus...there were about 10-15 pax seen on the lower deck (not sure upper deck)...

Wonder what happened to the bus? Can move but have to go off service, somemore passengers are still on board...

SMB42P SG

In other news, At around 1015am, SMB1415R went to the wrong boarding berth. It was on 188 and it went to the 172 boarding berth, and opened the doors... only awhile later then BC realised his mistake and he slowly drove into 188 boarding berth....

SMB42P SG

Not sure what happened to SMB99B today..bus came back to CCK INT from teck whye around 150pm on 307. Was spotted parking as usual at parking bay meant for 307 buses and it renumbered to 307E. At around 155pm, bus was spotted moving one lot in front, stopped and BC alighted. Less than a min later, BC boarded bus again and this time, entered into the parking area and make a turn back to 307 boarding berth. Instead of letting people board, BC told all pax to alight. SMB3117M driver also parked his bus behind SMB99B and alighted to help in diverting and assisiting pax to alight SMB99B. SMB99B was spotted going back to park and parking area while SMB3117M took all the pax and continued its journey on 307E... (3117M's duty for that trip is supposed to start from CCK INT fresh but on 307E)

SMB99B was later spotted back on 307/307E later in the day...

SBS 9256 X SG

SMB 3013 D on 860's Ez-link card reader is reading Checking Parameter... I also noticed one A22 on 812 having the same issue. Shouldn't they check the reader also before start of every journey?

Not a single 811 today at my bus stop. 860 came in this sequence:

860 (SMB 3014B; Full load) - 860A (SMB 3076 Y) & 860 (SMB 3013 D; I was boarded it)

SMB 3076 Y and SMB 3013 D loading is half full upon reacing my bus stop. I boarded SMB 3013 D and it was already full I not sure about SMB 3076 Y but I believe it is also full as there were no 811 as I waited for around 10 mins.

SMB42P SG

Service 172 sequence (PM peak ~ 535pm reach BL onwards)

5065R >> 6U (AP02) >> ?? >> 56A >> 1085G >> 57Y >> 2E >> unknown OC >> 213M (AP06) >> 1030P >> 5066M >> 717Z >> 3087R >> ?? 40U >> ?? >> 59S >> ??

**2E and the unknown OC bunch together, one of them is AP, the other should be S101...

SBS3004X SG

43/M:

SBS6328S (43M) arrived at a few bus stops along Yio Chu Kang Rd full. Then, moments after SBS6328S leaves, SBS3305C appears...

Sbs6750E SG

Sv 156 Euro Iv KUB, spotted passing by The Luxurie Condominium along Compassvale Road, as in the bus stop Opp Blk 223D. Spotted around 0855 hrs today.

Path Light SG

There are bus service panels on SBS3226Y and SBS3653Y (Both of which are Service 157)

SMB42P SG

Didnt know since when 307 has transformed from a intra-town service to a special service with frequency 20-30 mins during off peak...

6/11, 2245hrs: Waited for 20 mins before SMB126G (AP01) came... SMB99B (AP03) came shortly behind, half empty...

7/11, 1340hrs: Waited for 30 mins before SMB99B (AP03) came....

7/11, 1945hrs: Waited 25 mins before SMB58U (AP05), SMB99B (AP03) and SMB98D (AP02) came together, with SMB127D (AP04)also departing cck together except that SMB127D went somewhere to do downroute...

The first and last case, bus (SMB58U for last case was packed, while SMB99B and SMB98D fly stop lot one bus stop) was packed all the way to the door upon leaving Lot one stop...

SMB42P SG

TIB1083L left CCK INT on 172 around 0728hrs, with the ez link distance meter set for direction 2 (BL to CCK) instead of Direction 1...along the way it just followed the direction 2 meter until it reached Hai Inn See Temple stop when it starts to go heywire (showing bus stop of the opposite stop)... some people therefore couldnt tap out as the meter went backwards towards the end of the trip...

Also, i observe many of the old buses have ticket machine that are not working (they dun want to repair or heck care??) Some buses are TIB717Z, SBS9406E, SBS9531B, SBS9640U
