My non-bus fan friend in my class who loves SMRT says that SBST
everytime copy SMRT.He says that SMRT buy OC SBST also bring in
OC.SMRT from last time all the way use EDS then now SBST suddenly
want to copycat them so they also put EDSes on their VO3X Batch 3s
now.This is his opinion about SBST.
your classmate's quite wrong about that
EDS has been around for quite a number of years and several
operators in Singapore and beyond are using it. That doesn't mean
the overseas companies/SMRT BUSES/SBST copies from each other
right?
And besides, technology has made it possible for cheaper
destination signages that can contain all routes instead of having
physical destos, so it's more of a benefit and a natural
evolution for the bus companies to choose EDS over plastic
signages.
