  Yes the bus is SMB 131R but most likely this bus is serving Svc 961 as Svc 853 does not ply along Bt Timah area

  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?

  Sunday I'd say it is a spamming spree especially for services like 178,187 etc, so no surprises. today 178 got 4 mercz to start.

  Yup. For weekdays, 960 is the one getting more OCs. And so far, only SMB131R glued to 961 everyday! Hardly see it on 960/187 and it's the only OCs that would be commonly spotted on 961.

  Clementi Temporary Interchange has new service guides under the new distance fares.

  SBS8318H (SLBP 185) is back on service. The BC made a quick brake at the traffic junction along Clementi Ave 6. All commuters managed to balance themselves and thus, no one was injured. Then, the BC checked for casualties and apologised to all commuters for his sudden braking.

  Look @ 911 berth @ 8:23pm when most of the 911 buses turns into 911E...

  Are you sure about this? when are they going to come in? If SMRT really buys the 0530 then prepare to see 425R-493T getting laid though, either that AM will have to drop buses over.

  More rigid = GG. I took TIB461K on 911 from RP to WRI, realised that there were many people at Woodlands St 83 area were queuing for it. When I boarded in, the bus was packed to the door after entering 80+ area.

  Time to make people walk though, seriously it is just walking distance away from WRI to Woodlands st 82 area
