One question.
Is it ok for buses to cut through the parking lots allocated for svc 187 etc? The lots are directly in front of svc 174 berth. When I was at BNL on Friday, I saw a MB 0405 CAC cut through the berths after picking up passengers. It was too fast I couldn't catch it with my camera.
By the way, are you guys still believing that you can't take pictures in the interchange. I did it at BNL in the afternoon with BCs and transit security looking...

Try not taking pics INSide the Int , maybe outside the INT will do.

You can try going around ints in singapore and try your luck, if unlucky, the most you get yourself into trouble , if lucky then nothing happen.

anyway , does the BC need to alert the passenger svc centre that he is going off - duty back to SLBP ?

cause , i noticed that when BC's are going of svc they honk a few times while making the turn before the 242/194/251 berth . and some green shirt lady/guy sitting in the passenger svc office will wave and the bus will drive off ! all of the buses do that ( i noticed )

if that is the procedure :

will the bus rego be recorded down ? > in the peak hours the queue will be long and those sitting in the passenger svc centre would not be able to see the rego so how ?

yes i took 489A on 243W and the BC did that ! it is common ! Mr. Green

I think I know why. Especially around 6-7pm, the 242 buses arrive after the schelduled time, so after all the passengers alight at the alighting berth from the previous trip, the BC immedately departs again, with no time for breaks. So they honk and tell the SBST people that they have arrived.
Another time I notice they do that is when they finished their duty and are going off service. In the old BNL, they just parked their buses at the alighting berth then went to tap their cards. Now, they honk to see if the SBST people will allow them to park at the limited space between the 198,etc & 242, etc berth.

Going a bit off topic actually.
I do agree with you guys that taking pictures in the interchange might land you into trouble, especially if someone from homeland security comes up to this website and see so many interchange pictures, if any. There would be increased possibility that terrorists take whatever picture they want from here.
For some extra information, I have been taking pictures in and around interchanges (Choa Chu Kang, the most frequent in 2005, to Sengkang and Punggol, Tampines, Bedok, the list is not exhaustive). Love for buses can surpass risk of taking pictures in interchanges, but not more to compromise our country's safety.
I do agree that I would decrease my photo exposure in interchanges, but if you do see someone using a DSLR to take pictures in an interchange (or beside the road), that would most likely be me (and say hi too!). Thank you for reading my crap...

Hmm , i think i have seen someone taking pics at Choa Chu Kang Int a month ago on a friday... camera im not sure and also i can't remember liao Laughing

SBS9828X SG

wah… u are so risking ur DSLR

jetabt767400 SG

There was once I was at CCK and a westerner was taking pictures too, last year. I wasn’t at CCK last month if I am not wrong. Next would be Hougang, but I would cut down my trips to interchanges for the time being. I stay in Bukit Batok…

unker, could be me also leh. Rolling Eyes

u use wat? i use D50, stock lens. still looking at the lens list. Laughing

jetabt767400 SG

I use Konica Minolta Dynax 5D. Got 18-70mm stock and one 70-200mm Sigma leftover from the film age, can mount, but only for taking aircraft pictures. Ok, off topic…

MS SG

haha... I dun think they will mind you taking pictures. Becos security isn't that easily breeched. Many new stuffs inplemented to make terrorists think thrice before striking on a point with no U turn.

^tamago^ SG

i got 18-70mm stock also. i'm aiming at the other end i.e. fast lens, versus zoom lens.

anyway, nice 200mm u have.... Very Happy

jetabt767400 SG

18-700mm? That would be a monster! Typo error right?...
Anyway, I do hope Boon Lay does not become something that looks too alike to Sengkang, as Clementi would again be another residence cum shopping cum interchange. At least Boon Lay should not look too alike...
