Hi 9631X,Yes 3787 has been on 81 for quite a while now.. Hi 7557R,3756 and 3788 have been doing 6. But I always observe one of the svc 6 SD is always on othe...

SMB42P SG

TIB708A on 985 again today...

Means there were actually 3 DAFs cameo on 985 yesterday..i saw 700X and boarded 697Y on 985PM03...

carbikebus SG

Cause DAF got more seats..I wonder if SMRT already extend the lifespan for DAFs why not buy VDL Citea single deckers?

Acx1688 SG

6776G has been a regular on sv16 since SAT...

Lsk138 SG

SBS 6445L

should be the BSEP bus add on 372 instead .

SBS 9631X SG

Anyway, there's something really fishy going on between Sv 854 & Sv 855. Idk why those Sv 854 OC500s (usually it's SMB45G, 48Z & 49X) keeps appearing on Sv 855 together since about 2 weeks ago. All 3 are on Sv 855 today again during AM Peak.

I tried to dismiss it, but I realised that at least one of the slots the 3 OC500s are on on Sv 855 should be a Citaro's slot, another slot should be one of the O405s, and idk yet about the last. I'm not sure if this trend is due to the 2 de-reg O405s' vacant slots now (506R & 509H's), or something else.

So can someone KIV too on Sv 854's fleet or the roster for both svcs? thanks much.

Just a follow-up on my post: 45G is back on Sv 854 today. However, the timing 45G was on yesterday during AM Peak is done by 27J today (AM 854 also).

SBS 9631X SG

Anyway, has there been an extra bus added to do the shortworking Sv 857A in recent months?
I know Wiki reflects SMB161D as perm 857/857A, but I'm not sure if it's outdated? Or is there something with Sv 857A which hasn't been reflected?

Because I've noticed there's a WLDEP slot (even earlier than 161D's Sv 857A trip from Yishun Int) around 0710hrs departing Yishun Int with Sv 857A route details recently too. The bus usually is 229T.

I'll observe again tmr if I can spot 229T & update again.

SMB42P SG

Tot 695C to 708A (except the deregistered 696A) all got extended? The rest no news leh..

SMB42P SG

TIB708A

(KJDEP 975) > (KJDEP 985)

Many users spotted this bus on 985 recently... Keep an eye out for TIB723E too, because it went back to 975 today after appearing on 985 for a while...

This guy went back to do 975 today after so many days on 985.. TIB700X still on 985..

SBS8676Z SG

Just a follow-up on my post: 45G is back on Sv 854 today. However, the timing 45G was on yesterday during AM Peak is done by 27J today (AM 854 also).

The 4 OC500LEs are still under 854 roster as of last sat. It is most probably that YIBP side screw up 854's fleet for the past weeks.

Btw 49X was on 854 last sat too.

Are there any Citaros that had been missing from 855 lately?

23ispolo SG

TIB528C

(WLDEP SP) > (WLBP 75)

Gus.chong SG

Tot 695C to 708A (except the deregistered 696A) all got extended? The rest no news leh..

TIB708A's lifespan ends in September 2014 without extension...but no tender is released to scrap and sell DAFs from December 2013 till now, so all of the remaining will live for another 2 years.

SBS 9631X SG

I think they kind of messed up Sv 855's roster too. Maybe I've not seen 136C that often in the past 3 weeks. The other Citaros I've spotted them at least once on Sv 855 in the past 2 weeks..same for the 3 O405s left (579E 583S 814B).

Today (24Jul) Sv 855 has 27J, 45G, 49X & even 620T (that's 4x Sv 854 buses on Sv 855 today). 48Z on the other hand is on Sv 803 today. Massively messed up fleets.

SBS 9631X SG

I'll observe again tmr if I can spot 229T & update again.

Anyway, to follow up, I've spotted 229T again this morning doing Sv 857A on the same timing as I had posted yesterday. 161D left some 10 mins later on Sv 857A as well.

I think someone needs to help me check which duty code is for this new Sv 857/857A for 229T though, thanks.

lemon1974 SG

136C is in AMDEP for almost one month.. never get deployed, although alway in different parking position though... there are some other citaros which are having issue as well.

carbikebus SG

Maybe those 51 Citaros might as well sell to those private operators that operate peak hour svc and concentrate on A22s,OCs,E500s and A24s

Lsk138 SG

suspect

3393Y might not perm 119 also .

SMB189A SG

TIB1154R
(WL 963 > WL 176)

Suspect all WL 176 MK1 buses gone spare.

TIB1178Y
(WL SP > WL 169)

SBS 9631X SG

TIB1178Y
(WL SP > WL 169)

Once again, provide a missing bus or possible bus that's out of Sv 169. There has been alot of people suggesting buses that are perm Sv 169 lately, but never once have I seen them suggest any buses that could be out.

From wiki, it seems that the fleet changes from Apr 2014 for Sv 169 is as follow:
In - 815Z, 1390C, 1392Y, 1399D, 3116R (BSEP)
Out - 749G, 778Y, 779U, 1109Y.

But idk which of those eager kids edit Wiki with half-ass efforts again. He / they edit 1107C as out of Sv 169 on the Services Deployment page, but on the Habit Bendy page, he edit 1109Y as out of Sv 169. Can tally the info please before editing?
I saw 1107C (the Silkpro ad) still on Sv 169 yesterday though.

SBS 9631X SG

136C is in AMDEP for almost one month.. never get deployed, although alway in different parking position though... there are some other citaros which are having issue as well.

I see i see. Yeah, that's probably why I haven't seen that bus as much in the past month..

Anyway, 27J, 45G & 49X were on Sv 855 yesterday (25Jul). Dk when this trend of the Sv 854 OCs appearing on Sv 855 in a trio would end. They seem to appear on Sv 855 always in pairs or trios though.

SMB42P SG

thats why..KJDEP missing quite a number of perm buses...

985: TIB709Y, TIB710S

172: SMB58U

307: SMB212R (heard not badly damaged from accident but depot refused to deploy it)

709Y back on 985 today on AP01. Last day of service before today was 19 June 2014 (ticket still in the machine). Bus exterior seem to have been repainted.
