254/255/257 loads can easily cross 100 pax.. Why no BSEP yet or even fleet add from SBST side... Totally ignore the JIS area.

8012Z on 302 almost everyday last week...

8012Z might be perm on either 300/302.

I have the thinking that those MAN Bendies deployed on the trunk svcs are for SMRT to test the loading compared to their DDs & existing Mercedes bendies on those same trunk svcs. hmm

Yeah,It was never meant to perm on trunk svc,From what ive known the perm O405G will temporary swap with the A24 to test the loadings..388S is the one which went back to spare after a month stint with 176.Those 2 on service 851 & 854 wont be long either.

I think for those in KJDEP, this "trial" arrangement works better. Since they can deploy the MAN Bendies on svcs with existing Merc Bendies & at the same time also have Enviros as perm (eg Sv 106 & 190 with both MB Bendies & Enviros) to compare.

For AMDEP wise, unless they want to put DDs soon on 851 and 854, the only comparison they can do is compare against those existing MB bendies. Doesn't really do much.

Maybe that's one of the reasons why AMDEP has been deploying 1218R on 857 & another random Bendy on 857 also recently in the past month. Possibly to cross-check the loadings against those WL-based Enviros on 857..hmm.

Amdep no choice,Its not that they wanna test loadings but indeed they have no DDs so just deploy random bendy buses will do..At least their BC can earn the bendy bus allowances..

Oh, so the random Bendies from AMDEP on 857 are just to meet the demand during Peak Hours? I thought they were using it to compare against the loadings of the Enviros (although diff depots). Maybe I think too much.

But if they wanted to deploy Bendies for 857, they could have just done so long ago before the Enviros even appeared though..

Because that time Amdep didnt have enough bendy buses to play around,Ever since 804 Habits are out,They got at least 4-5 Habit bendy buses to play with thus you see 857 run with at least 2 during peak hours,Sometimes they will even cameo on svc 61,851,854,Feeders,969 frequently.

sv 166 keeps having fluctuating fleet...

Last year 3 DD slots got downgraded to SD..

In month of June, 2 SD slots got upgraded to DD...

Funny leh... now operating with 21 DDs, 5 SDs compared to 19 DDs, 7 SDs in May.

proudtobeme SG

67 got dd still many rigid. think bendy change to dd. all rigid still there. so no upgrade.

carbikebus SG

67 got dd still many rigid. think bendy change to dd. all rigid still there. so no upgrade.

That is why 67 got 41 buses..40% still SDs

BusAnalayzer SG

There you go... 985 finally gets DD... much awaited..

Suspect there to be 4 DDs... but 2 are confirmed...

3592Z, 3593X --> KJ 985

BusAnalayzer SG

sv 963 got 1 bendy slot downgraded to rigid... operating now with 12 DDs, 2 bendies and 14 rigids...

TIB 585L SG

sv 963 got 1 bendy slot downgraded to rigid... operating now with 12 DDs, 2 bendies and 14 rigids...

1073R slot was downgraded

carbikebus SG

sv 963 got 1 bendy slot downgraded to rigid... operating now with 12 DDs, 2 bendies and 14 rigids...

Supposely to be 4 SDs to 4 DDs

BusAnalayzer SG

How many DDs spotted on 985 today?

BusAnalayzer SG

Is it true that sv 65 is no longer full fleet DD?? One DD slot downgraded to Citaro... so even before DTL3, 65 has been downgraded :(

array88 SG

There you go... 985 finally gets DD... much awaited..

Suspect there to be 4 DDs... but 2 are confirmed...

3592Z, 3593X --> KJ 985

I thought Lor 1 Geylang Ter cannot use DDs?

BusAnalayzer SG

I thought Lor 1 Geylang Ter cannot use DDs?

Now can. Even 961 has DDs... from past one month.

Sbs6750E SG

Next is 980, then 167, 851, 854. Hmmm.

TIB1234T SG

961 upgrade 2nd DD yesterday after xfer out 3104A to AMDEP...
SMB3541X on 3581E slot, 3581E on 3104A slot yesterday...

172 starts DD today, SMB5056S...

SMB5070A might perm 187, either fleet add or replacing SMB1531M which is doing 969...

carbikebus SG

187 now got 2 perm DDs i believe..Let us see:Bt Batok DD service is 61 & 106,Choa Chu Kang is 67,172,188,190,983 & 985,Bt Panjang so far 176,700 & 972,Woodlands is top for 169,187,951E,960,961,963,964,965,966 & 969 while for Yishun is only 850E,856 & 857.Time to deploy DDs to svc 167 & 980 for Sembawang.

Service that i believe will get DDs later is 180,184(Dont argue why 184 must use DD since 172 & 964 also tio DDs),189,851,854,855 & 962.Guess LTA should add another 50 units or SMRT buy production batch A95
