    Yesterday while having lunch at a dim sum restaurant I saw a Scania K23OUB on bus service 130

    Didn’t manage to get a shot of it but I think it was SBS 8279L

    Also made a debut on 15 April 2021

    How would I find out the estimated time of arrival of the bus I just boarded. Eg . I got on the 130 at Kitchener Road and my destination is Any Mo Kio terminus.
