  Pai seh...thanks once again!

  Really hope kjdep starter don't screw up the deployment for Monday anymore...

  Sorry guys...

  The timing posted by TIB1018B is given by me as I am on duty just now.

  Last minute change...KJ starter withdrew the SMB1H from this duty and replaced it with a normal Habit bendy...so once again sorry to disappoint you guys.

  As for Monday, this bus is deployed to AM/PM duty as follows, HOPEFULLY this time KJ starter don't do any last minute change:

   

  0633 dep cck 0725 arr cck (supplement to svc 307 1 full trip)

  0739 deadhead to Blk 604 Bt Panjang Rd

  0749 dep Blk 604 0842 arr nbr

  0854 dep nbr 0955 arr cck (mealbreak)

  1018 dep cck 1124 arr nbr

  1134 dep nbr 1238 arr cck

  1250 dep cck 1356 arr nbr (SL Change shift)

  1405 dep nbr 1509 arr cck

  1517 dep cck 1624 arr nbr

  1632 dep nbr 1742 arr cck (mealbreak)

  1806 dep cck 1913 arr nbr

  1926 dep nbr 2035 arr cck

  2044 off svc to nbr

  2127 dep nbr 2230 arr cck (return to kjdep)

   

  Btw, I am a staff member of SMRT buses...I just give you guys the timing so you guys have fun bus spotting.  I am not obliged to post the duty number on the forum.

  But, a reminder from me, no photography at cck or nbr terminals. Thanks for your cooperation!

  
  Is the timing the same for next Saturday and Sunday?

  The bus SMB1H deployed to this duty is effective from tomorrow till Friday...

  As I say, anything can happen...I dunno what's in the depot starters' minds, always like to change deployment at a last minute...for whatever reason.

  I will be on pm shift later, so I will check my system for any last minute changes to SMB1H's deployment and will keep you guys posted (on behalf of TIB1018B who will post my messages on the forum).

  Ttfn...

  If the bus is really on revenue service, must be the stupid starter put this back to the TQ duty again.

  Hope what you post is true...I don't want the bus fans out there to be disappointed.  There is so much hype about this bus in the forum and many people must be disappointed when I broke the news to them.

  I won't be spotting this bus as I am on pm shift later, so guys have fun spotting this bus and take a joyride (if this bus is back to the TQ duty I had mention ytd)

  Can anyone confirm is there a PIS fitted inside the bus SMB1H.

  PIS is the "next bus stop" information display.

  And, look carefully is there a driver's microphone and the driver loudspeaker mounted above the driver's seat, a standard feature for our SMRT buses with IBOS voice communications capability.
