but 904 is BSEP serv.It may not receive bendy

Freeman_SBS 3333X SG

8023 today replace 388 on 189

carbikebus SG

They might be another order for 2nd batch..

SMB42P SG

SMB8028D new on 302 today...

TIB429E SG

SMB8028D new on 302 today...

Debut 190 on the same day as 8018H on 900.

TIB429E SG

WL MAN A24s should be more or less replacing Habits instead of 904A/999B...

proudtobeme SG

a24 deployment so messy. go anyhow any service. smrt shud focus to make service wab and not just deploy anyhow.

180 why no e500? good candidate for e500 imo

TIB429E SG

8030X on 911 today..finally..but likely PM shift only..

8025L - 962 ytd

They should deploy MAN A24s on 911 first since its WAB. But then they prefer deploy MAN A24s on 901 instead to make it WAB status.

For service 180, IMO should have DDs but mostly it have full fleet bendies so I not sure if can have DDs. But since 172 can, why not 180?

Furthermore I really hope SMRT will use their MAN A24s wisely to deploy their services. Its recommendable to deploy on feeder and short trunk services rather than on long haul services. Also, I wonder if 962 can get DDs.

I agree.. For 180, most people travel long distance.. Many board at BPJ and alight only at Lakeside/Boon Lay... Can easily go upper deck.. Good candidate to have DDs and give bendies elsewhere...

962 got fleet add of another 2 MAN SDs... easily could have got upgraded to DDs... but since SMRT does not have enough.. have to boost frequency with SDs to mitigate loading issues.

172 also need another 2 high capacity buses. They added 1 DD... but not enough... need more..

Path Light SG

More MAN A24 for Service 804 and 806

962 can have DDs in my opinion,964 can do well if DDs why not 962 which ply longer routes than 964.Can deploy 7 DDs and 5 SDs for a start.

Yes 962 can do well with DDs... the question is does SMRT have enough right now to deploy? Answer is NO. Hence, some services will have to wait until SMRT brings in more DDs.

The real answer is space constraints..Amdep rely heavily on Yishun Int to park their fleets.Most probably is to transfer few O405Gs and take a few DDs.

Kjdep also rely on CCK Int for parking.Budep will be gone case once TT start operation.

Wldep already at its maximum capacity with those O405Gs and A22s.Only left a few space available at Wlbp.Unless for the time being LTA help them by giving a sub bus park for Amdep and Kjdep respectively.

but then i heard 100 parking spaces at bulim will still be given to SMRT buses...true?

Aint too sure,TT will gets around 300 buses for a start with another 100-150 progressively.Even though LTA lease 100 lots for SMRT it will be just temporary.They will eventually get stuck in the queue with TT buses to enter depot at night.

We might see 61,172,178,180,187 and even 852 park there in future.

Guess all will go to Wldep.

According to Tower Transit, their fleet will grow by 380 buses.
