Atrecord Supersonic June 11, 2018 Share June 11, 2018 Oh Kovan Hawker centre! Then I've actually been there a few years back! Just didn't notice the old interchange. Hearland mall i rmb it being quite packed on the sun afternoon I was there, yeah that mall looked pretty old Hahahaha sure, when gonna go Kovan will PM you But the Kovan hawker centre got a few carparks surrounding it. If you'd parked at the one right in front of it (near the florists side), then that's not the old interchange. The old interchange side is the one in front of the DBS bank that row. So the interchange is betwen this row of old shops, and the community centre that is across the road. At Kovan, apart from the famous hawker centre (Tony Tan went there during his presidential campaign years ago), there is also a famous beef noodle at a kopi shop at the end of the row of shops (where the DBS is a part of). Always long queue... Bukit Merah interchange has just upgraded a few years back. More on the facade. facade not enough lah. Like those AMK/TP/Serangoon ones, became aircon'ed leh... ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the bus was like... let's say 12 m long. so from the front, the front door was maybe 20-30 cm from the front windscreen. (while normal bus, the back door would be at around the 6 m region - in the middle - of the bus) but this bus' back door was at around the 9-10 m region of the bus, just 2-3 m from the rear windscreen. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
