SBS7523M (SLBP 30) has new door arms, those black ones you find on the Batch 3 Wrights with the knob to release the pressure of the pneumatic system to open the door. Note that while these doors arms are new, the doors are still the same and the doors still use the button to open the doors... It is unknown if the pneumatic door motors were changed, though they are immensely fast and violent!

SBS9808D upper deck front windscreen seem to have a leak. Front handle bar seem to be a bit wet.

2 split shift buses on 172 not in service yesterday (040814). Suspected duties 172S104 and 172S106...so left with 13 buses (7 AP, 6S) and buses have to depart earlier/later than schedule to maintain "good" headway...

Seen several SMRT buses approaching WRI "Off Service" despite having passengers inside. Mainly MANs but also one service 960 bendy. I assumed SMRT BCs were instructed to switch the EDS to "Off Service" when they've left the final bus stop to the interchange, but saw this happening only a few times so probably not. The buses I spotted were well within service operating hours. Morning or afternoon. Still a mystery to me...

SBS Transit's new way of identifying buses from depots. Currently only BNDEP/CGBP and AMDEP/BRBP have it. The other depots should follow soon.

BNDEP/CGBP (green dot sticker):

AMDEP/BRBP (yellow dot sticker):

UPDATE:

AMDEP/BRBP buses now with the green dot sticker (same colour previously used by BNDEP/CGBP buses)

BNDEP/CGBP buses now with red dot sticker, not very easy to see...

Could it be to avoid confusion for pax at WRI, when bus enters and pax unload. Some people might think bus has come to board. Since loading/alighting bays are both same direction. Cant think of anything else.

carbikebus SG

You might be right,after all that's the correct way of bus svc using eds

SBS5010P SG

SBS5232R (HGDEP 113) engine quite smooth

TIB429E SG

Both svc105 and 106 have the reasonable frequency while waiting around 12pm just now. Whereas Svc147/14/166 have frequency of 15-25mins(some svc have 2 buses arriving ard 15/16mins)...

SBS8057K SG

SBS2689B (63) around 1615 hrs was spotted at Rumah Tinggi changing drivers. Previous bus 6622S did not change driver.

BusAnalayzer SG

sv 63M has 05 minute frequency in AM. Saw buses back to back on sv 63M...

Almost all of them with 15-20 pax... 8-9 buses on sv 63M.... Is that not a lot???

SBS5010P SG

if LTA want to put 30 buses on Sv 115 or 191 we also bo bian, so 63M 8-9 buses we cant do anything like 119 DDs

azharjj SG

just now board SBS3156R (SL 157) to work

the ez-link system very weird

In sleep mode when the doors are open & in active mode when the doors are closed

SMB42P SG

TIB714G with poor aircon..take this bus during noon time like in an oven..

Recently, i have also boarded many SMRT buses with ticket machines that broke down..some even for weeks and months..some of them were:

TIB695C
TIB697Y
TIB972C
TIB548U
SMB56A
SMB213M
TIB886T

got a few more but i forgot already..not sure till today any of these buses the ticket machines are fixed but all these buses i took at least 2 times within a few weeks but the machines are down...

carbikebus SG

BC dont bother to report also..SMRT BCs majority bo chap unlike TIBS era..You cant expect depot to check every buses right so BCs also play a part..If i can take the effort to check radiator water and even standby my coolant and report any wear and tear why cant they?

TIB429E SG

But they(SMRT) are improving SLOWLY already :) Better than totally ignore.
