lol. Green MAN. Hahaha. 
28 May is seven weeks from today.
According to Tower Transit Facebook page, Tower Transit says
that 10% of its bus fleet is reserved for deployment in case of
service delays. Tower Transit says that GCM will start with 50
buses from late-May.
Of the 50 buses, I guess 5 are reserved and 45 are for revenue
service.
Assuming the bus deployment remains the same, the bus services
you stated require 75 buses. If this is indeed the first bus
services to be taken over, it's likey that around two of them -
using up to 30 buses - will be in the second batch instead.
If 50 buses are implemented each time, the takeover would be in
eight batches. If the implementation is done over eight weeks
starting from 28 May 2016, it would go on until 16 July 2016.
But the LTA say the takeover would be done in three batches, so
it's quite likely that the number of buses implemented each time
will increase progressively, as the new operator becomes
comfortable with operating the bus services. For example, 50 buses
in the first batch, 125 buses in the second batch, 200 buses in the
third batch.
I feel that it is better to implement only 50 buses each time,
over eight weeks, considering this is the first contract. Besides,
if there are only 50 buses implemented each time, it may be
possible to apply the new SG♡Bus livery on all buses before the
implementation. :)
The application of the new SG♡Bus livery is likely a combined
effort across all bus depots in Singapore, since there are limited
painting booths to go around. I do not know how many painting
booths are there. I guess around sixteen to thirty-two buses can
have the new livery applied in one week.
think you misread the press release. 50 buses with the green
colour ... the rest of the buses that is used would probably be
covered up with an LTA or BSEP ad or something just like the
current TT training buses.
They cant possibly paint all overnight, so when they takeover,
progressively will paint all green.
8 tranches is way too long and messy. its still 3.
