So I managed to catch the Citaro bus again just now (still no luck with the MAN), and as it was my first night-time ride on it, I noticed how different the ambience of the bus feels at night. In the day-time, the bus feels luxurious but otherwise feels somewhat dull due to all the grey, but at night, the soft orange-yellow lights and the halogen spotlights at the doors really give the bus an ambience of true comfort and luxury. The red cloth seat covers and the brushed metal grab poles helped to add to the feel of luxury as well. I also never really knew how excellent the suspension system of the bus was until I was trying to take some photos of the interior; even with the bus at speed, I was able to hold my iPhone steady, and many of the resulting shots did not look "shaken" at all. One curious thing I never noticed when I rode it the first time but saw just now: the nearside (door-side) forward-facing seats just immediately behind the rear wheelwell is not level with the corresponding seats on the opposite side, and the two seats themselves are not on the same level as well. The window seat seems to be higher-up to accomodate an extra step from the floor. Why is that so? Is it to accommodate something under the floor?

Spotted SBS7421Z on svc 72 this morning at Tampines Int without a side desto.
Bus made one round in the int after picking up paxs at the boarding berth and came back to the boarding berth to alight paxs.
Should be a faulty IDFC as all the paxs were waiting to tap their cards..

Handal Indah getting smarter... Does multiple boarding, 2x CW1 bus boarding at once (if 2nd bus arrives).
but ends up 960 & 961 difficult to board.
Seriously it's selfish
