After the recent accident, SBS 8455U now has no SBS Transit logo above the SCANIA badge at the front. They painted it over.

Sv 119 off peak frequency can range from the normally 17-18 mins to the horrendous 22-24 mins (Not Sunday morning or night period) partly due to the Bus Captains, some of those who will drive slowly while some who drives quite fast

I once remembered during a particular Sunday night, the frequency can be as long as 30mins as there are only 3 buses running during Sunday morning and night

Maybe it is the time for Vistarians to complain Sv119 freq. Afterall it is based on Vistarians' survey and others that make it possible for sv119. haha!!!

But after 1900, waiting for 72 will make you pull your hair out, and worst of all, the demand for 72 tends to subside less quickly leading to long queues both at YCK and Tampines.

So.....I have made the switch to 27 or 88 if I have to get home.

Not only 66, some other service also like that one , 30 frreq at Harbourfront also like this one, 25 mins to 40 mins wait for a bus is also possible, slbp also mah, maybe the starter is just a little slack.....

I had nv expereince many times because sometime when the bus is not at the signal area it would display at the information. Just ignored him la, he is kinda of suffering from mental stress.
