They could install the bigger ones at those places with many bus
services. Or maybe they might want to complie all the As into one
plate.
Yio Chu Kang (Opp Blk 139) bus stop has many bus stop plates
just on the pole. 2 normal plates, 70A, 76A, 147A, 156A, 103M/103M
timings (3 of them), SMRT NR6 and 70M.
Imagine how messy will it be if Express 501, 501A, 502 and 502A are
still around.
Cheers.
