No, I didn't get the license plate number on this bus (I only
realised after I had been walking for 5 mins, and then reached my
office).
There were no CCTVs on this bus - but this particular bus is one
of only three buses that ply this route every morning (it has the
red $4.00 premium sticker in the front window).
In fact, I have been taking this service now since September
2007 and almost recognise the three or four bus drivers that are
always doing this.
On the bright side, I called after 10AM, and someone magically
picked up the phone at Lost and Found and I gave them all the info
I could (including that it was the last bus for the day, which
should mean they can track down the registration plate number). But
they said they need to wait for the bus to return to the depot
first. Even though it is a limited morning service, the customer
service officer was not sure if the bus would start a different
route after that.
If nothing is found, I'll go early to the bus stop tomorrow
morning and ask the usual three or four bus drivers one by one and
hope that the Chinese driver this morning is also working tomorrow
morning.
Thanks for the response so far - will keep you all updated and
hope SMRT will be able to resolve this with a positive outcome!
Hope you retrieve your lost item soon
