you don't want those old folks that cant read to go up the bus and
keep asking bc right? imagine an old auntie running towards the bus
with your big PUNGGOL facing her; but too bad. she can't read
but only board the bus to delay the bc's time and in the end she
might be going to AMK instead of PG.. my grandmother used to be a
frequent commuter of sv73. and she relies a lot on the side plates.
then what about sv's like 124, 131 and 139? why got side
plate? =.=

. Besides being a
heritage for 136's two directional appearance at sgoon garden, the
side eds doesnt reveal its destination if i may say so, those last
minute passenger chasing upon the side or back eds wont make it to
see the punggol on the front. Of cos, the old folks as mentioned
dont read st names well. They might go telling a bc they need to go
blk xxx of bedok, and bc guide them to alight while they might not
even know the road name in the end isnt it? Thus the colour
plates serve as their gospel signal highly for routes
like 136.
131 desto is vital, cos it 2 locations of dual
direction appearance.
