  honestly 1 desto set is $30 and it gives you Chinese wording too.

  Only thing is e environment footprint for making desto.

  Should have also refurbished the whole bus instead of just the seat cover.

  Anyway, TIB490B have 3 OCs type bell at the door.

  3 only? You must take TIB499C and see for yourself, a whole stretch of OC bells at BC side.

  $30 per desto. Can keep 30 svs still cost $900.

  1 bus EDS cost $3000 + maintenance, programming debugging hidden cost.

  somemore some BCs are too short enough to display front desto on a low floor single deck bus.

  Woah. If TIB499C gets refurbished like what the Scania/DAF is now, I am sure it would be the first "OaCs"(OC + OAC)

  See SMRT want to or not, because even if there is 1 spare slot they may not even want to revamp just for that alone .. ..

  Heard from friend that Bukit Timah Rd closed from Eng Neo to Sixth Ave. Overhead bridge apparently hit by heavy vehicle, in danger of collapsing. Some bus services diverted. Anyone has more info on this?
