what do you mean by SBST not utilizing them properly? u mean
SBST use the batch1 to do other things? they use it to send
cargoes?
there is a need to extend batch1 due to SBST unable to assembly
more B9 in time due to BSEP requirement and there is nothing wrong
with SBST putting Batch 1 as spare.. maybe SBST should put
all new B9 as spares instead and put Batch 1 on perm service.
I agree. SBST rather put B1 on spare than the brand new WEGs. In
all terms, it is more cost effective that way. Maintenance of newer
buses is less, fuel efficiency more compared to older buses. Can
have AC problems, tire issues etc.
Always better to keep resources SPARE because if you need it,
you can pull it out of your back pocket and use. It is irritating
to see the new buses as SP.
