A huge thanks to all the bus captains and support team for keeping the buses running smoothly everyday. I enjoy my bus rides because of your dedication and hardwork! (:

[@BibiPew]

Salute to the guys. Now i know why some bus drive so fast while some like snail as they need to keep a healthy distance between buses.

[@jdfd4906]

Bibi Pew sucks to be riding in the slow bus, especially in a hurry!

[@BibiPew]

@@jdfd4906 true enough but it way better than other countries bus system at least we are efficient.

In the US. it's been drilled home to kids that the *_only way_* for you to make a good living is if you go to college and especially if you major in a STEM field. This has pushed a lot of kids away from lucrative vocational/trade jobs that take less time to train in and is around 1/4 the cost of bachelors degree.

Thank you bus captains and all those who keep our public transport system in tip-top condition....

[@lokeshgurajala2641]

15:25 its a network issue.. I mean these machines are not connected to network. It’s not required to check with other team. They should diagnose their own network..i mean the computer should connect to the network before the software system should connect. Meaning we need check with some steps ourselves before asking other teams.

Before go ahead entered Singapore.. SBS buses are always late to arrive at bus stops... I think it's because of complacency cos back then they monopolise the bus industry... Go ahead entered , did a good job and now sbs buses also became punctual now

[@normanschlongdongovic4124]

Not only that,Because of Tower Transit only SBST & SMRT raised their BC salaries..Cannot award them too many contracts

Why still no electric buses to reduce harmful emission???

[@ltankk]

A batch of 60 electric buses are coming in later this year. Not a big number but it is a good start.

[@xfirefox_x]

We also have moved to Euro 6 emissions standard

[@timelapsesofsingapore5674]

We have Volvo B5LH, which uses lesser energy

the Operations Control Centre (OCC) should CHANGE the small size monitors into the 49-inch PRISM+ model X490 as it changes the way you experience gaming, productivity, and media with the genre-redefining 49-inch Ultra-Wide 32:9 model X490 display. Featuring a massive 3840x1080 resolution and HDR technology, the X490 will change the way you experience your PC, forever.
