Not sure if this is seen anywhere else, I just saw one today opposite AMK Ave 3 Blk 570 bus stop (or 2 stops before AMK MRT Station).

It estimates the arrival time of the next bus in minutes... and also give indications if the next bus arriving will be a handicapped friendly bus (wheelchair logo)

You will see something like this:

25 Arr 10

Nope

It's based on SBS's IRIS... The subsequent bus timing is calculated based on the time you are seeing

So say now is 5:10pm

You see Sv 25, Next bus is 4 mins, subsequent bus is 12 mins

So next bus arrives at 5:14pm, subsequent at 5:22pm... The 12 mins is NOT based from the next bus

Seriously.. 106 has the "best" frequency on the screen...

ZYX2005 SG

common to see 60 mins during peak hours

drivers in hurry drive bus never log into AVMS so IRIS cannot capture the info

buses run late also i see drivers go n log out AVMS thus making IRIS crap also.

Sometimes, can also due to BCs doing downtrip.

They were put up this week. They are found if the bus stop doesnt have decent facillities to mount a board for the info panel. Classic examples are bus stops along shophouses.
