HK is no utopia but Singapore should have lessons from them about point-to-point bus routes. LTA should eradicate the hub and spoke model we are using now. T...

I thought i heard someone say AMDEP will have its own mini bus park

Well that is their reply in an email.They used to reply that Amdep will soon be taking DDs months ago and it did materialise but this time around just take it as a pinch of salt,If its true then better.By right AMDEP doesnt need to deploy DDs for 857 since WL has taken many DDs.Those 4 DDs can deploy on 851 or even 860.

Saw it enter the auto bus wash...

SMB3606T and SMB3607R on 854 today.

SMB3606T and SMB3607R on 854 today.

While 854's 5076 is seen on 857 this morning.

I guess that 851 will be getting MAN A95s straight away when getting DDs and I don't think that BSEP DDs will be deployed on 851 since its not benefited under BSEP. For 860 must wait for the last reg. no BSEP DDs later on. Also I have seen that AMDEP never take in MAN A24s recently so IMO it might take MAN A95s.

The two 854 BSEP DDs can goes to 860 what.854 can receive a couple of A95s as replacement mah

SMB3606T and SMB3607R were deployed on 854 for a while in the morning and these two DDs had gone back to park at AMDEP since I pass by there. Hope these 2 BSEP DDs will deploy 860 soon for a start! đ

The only other alternative to get DDs would be 855 that might get 3606T and 3607R. But I strongly recommend 860 get these instead.

On another note, 860 is doing very well with 16 buses right now. There is a bus every 03 minutes, and there is lot of instances when 3 buses come together.

Also note, PM load is quite less on 860 from Khatib compared to the load to Khatib in AM peak. So if they want to deploy DDs... they need to cut few buses as well otherwise will be bit of waste of resource.

I suggest that 860 extend another 6-7 km to somewhere than can deploy 4-5 DDs.

Just realise that E500 is much narrower in width than normal buses..2545m vs 2550m

Did you see it with the reg plates?

BusAnalayzer SG

So none of the DDs from PB went to AMDEP... all go to KJ and WL.

This means... the 2 new BSEP AMDEP will be either for 855 getting its 2 BSEP slot upgraded to DD... or 860.

AMDEP should have taken DDs to upgrade sv 61, 67 from its end... Also I thought 854 should have got more PB buses.

They should focus on Yishun first.

851 need 4 at least,854 kick out 5 SDs and replace with 3 DDs,855 can deploy 4 during peak hours,Weekends no need.860 exchange 5 SDs to 4 DDs.

855 can have DDs but no need that much and yes, during weekdays only. So lets see if these 2 new BSEP DDs will debut on 855 or 860 or maybe deploy on 854 for additional DDs.
