There was constantly overtaking from the 3 buses at multiple bus stops
The third bus just kept to the right side of the road and skipped the bus stop completely, becoming the first bus at the end
My bus (second one) was left with only me onboard from Bedok South all the way to CBP.
From CBP terminal the driver also departing late, until got 20 minute gap from front bus
Maybe their BCs depart strictly from the timetable, so if the driver before is late, the other one will still depart at the scheduled departure.
1733H TODAY ON BUS APP
5 buses at amber area all within 8 mins HAHA
SG5875Y got rear door problems, cannot open fully on both sides
Noticed that SBST EDS programmer for LECIP is really lazy.
Ever since SBST began adding "INT"/"TER" to their EDS format, a number of destinations have become unable to be displayed in big and bold font so they revert to the same font as the scroll line... which looks really ugly and defeats the purpose of the EDS. Make all services look like loops.
Anyway, I noticed that since the Seletar takeover, the EDS programmers look like they didn't bother to do properly. Not only the Wrights on 811, 851 fail to have > DESTINATION bolded and large, the Citaros' LAWO EDS seem to have the same problem (2 lines same small font)...

Generally a few buses from SBST depots excluding SEDEP have the red nut indicator. Even cross border services such as 170 buses have the indicator.

No standardisation across depots maybe..
Even for LAWO 56 can have 71’s style
BISHAN INT - MARINA CTR TER 56
there are sv857 buses during am peak which terminate at Suntec City, by putting a piece of A4 paper on windscreen saying that this sv857 terminate at Suntec City..
why cant they introduce 857B instead?

Feel that 48 could do with more full day DD on weekdays. To be fair, the frequency during peak hour is coping well but off peak waiting times can be long and could do with DD esp towards Bedok North Depot.

maybe should reduce some MAN dds and use it for 48 instead

in the future when TEL opens, between Stevens and Marine Parade is 48 faster or TEL?

Early morning special departure for Service 74 from Ang Mo Kio Stn towards Hougang Ctrl Int is done by SG5447A or SBS9679J.
Originally posted by SMB1368T:Cos I don’t think many people would board 857 in the city during those hours anyway
Actually IIRC 857 receives paxs boarding at Suntec City during most of the time right?
Today TIB1207Y on 854 was moving from bus stop before towards Kembangan Stn with its back most door left wide open. A student even alighted before the traffic light and at the MRT car drop off point mistakenly
What a dangerous situation if the student was knocked down by a motorcycle
BC should have checked properly before leaving bus stop

Besides SMRT buses, SMRT taxis also have the “taxi� added to the SMRT logo.
Next thing to observe is SMRT trains.
