Cannot figure out what bullshit SMRT is doing here... they're
taking 965 for a toy and just keep on taking advantage of
it.
As you can see, here is the timeline:
When 965 first started in 2002, it has OAC, CAC and Volgren
O405s. (Maybe some Lances I think, can't remember much)
But after some time, 965 was merrily kicked off AMDEP.
Then for some reason, the CACs were thrown to other svcs and 965
was dumped with a few OACs.
After that, SMRT was so stupid enough to go and take 965's
Volgren to deploy on 950. And switched 950's "torn-down" JB OACs...
so basically, 965 at that time is one of the few mono-fleet svcs in
SMRT.
Then, its long-waited rewards came. 237U, 238S and 242D came to
965, becoming the F1RST few WAB perms on 965. But they didn't stay
for long. They then went to 187 and OACs came back to serve 965.
That motherf***ing thing is, 187 didn't turn WAB.
Afterwards, another wave came. 276U and 277D came over first,
but was almost instantly thrown over to 966. So, 280T, and also
281R from 969 came over. At first i thought this was the end and
they were gonna stay for good. But what the f***! They went over to
859 and 171 respectively and thrown the CACs back to us! This is
the situation i hate the most. When you are downgraded, you get
your rewards and then your rewards are switched with the already
worn-out stuff you were taken away before.
Then I heard the BCs takling about 760 and 474 replaced with
MANs, but of course that was total crap and did not
happen.
Was is SMRT taking 965 as? Even 969 can retain its MANs and even
get BSEP upgrades, while 965 was only listed but no BSEP till now.
SMRT huh. I boycott since 280 and 281 is gone, but I can stop if an
improvement that can happen long and good is implemented onto
965.
I find 965 ok with it's buses atleast it is not that torn
off.
Anyone still remember 167? When the 04s came in 1995-1996 they
were very 'decent' 496K-510C, Afterwhich KJ took over, 798P 799L
808U 809S 810L + 821E and 822C, Gradually by the millenium years it
got downgraded only a few mercz left, with some lances and scanias
perming it. And in year 2008 when the OCs came in, 167 also had a
share of it, along with the citaros in 2011.
