SMRT launches Alexander Dennis Enviro 500 MMC

They will definitely give a bulk of DDs to Sv 190... But SMRT does not have experience with DDs... Why add to the problems of 190... Better to try out on 963...

BusAnalayzer SG

48 tested negative becos of Tanjong Katong Road South only. This road cannot squeeze in double deckers.

66, 67 and 960 will get double deckers.

Maybe in nov round, 67 and 960 will get their MAN BSEP slots converted to ADL BSEP.

Hopefully 61(?), 77(?), 176(?), 187, 855, 857, 962, 964, 965, 972, 985 gets BSEP DD..then those spare BSEP MAN can be deployed for other svc...

I guess about 5 for 190 ; 1 for 188 ; 2 for 963 ; 3 for 969 this time...

TIB 585L SG

I don't think 962 n 964 need DDs. Route is short and the current fleet can tank the load. 962 need to work on its freq by adding bus. 964 is fine as it is even during peak hour. 855 also got freq problem. 857 should have full fleet DDs by right but AMDEP cant have DDs. 965 maybe 1 DD for peak hour. 855 need to add bus to work on freq, load idk coz i dont take 855

TIB429E SG

Hmm but no harm adding DDs on 962/964, especially 962. If every svc also limit here and there, I think SMRT should just purchase 150 DDs including BSEP will do.

Gus.chong SG

Think by mid-2015 all 201 DDs will be on the roads already...no need to wait until 2016. By then SMRT will then buy somemore.

Even without kicking the O405s, it can already be made WAB by filling up the missing bus slots.

The O405s kicked are those de-registering in 2014.

Note: This is from feedback from some users who wanted more DDs on 963.

Before adding DDs to many of the above services, SMRT has to fulfil DD quota for 190/963/969 from SMRT side followed with 106/188... and then in next phase 67/960 when tree pruning is done.

BSEP SMRT DDs... already so many SP... why register more now?? Should give SMRT for capacity upgrade on its services... once BSEP has used the 533x and 534x series... then should register some more... For now priority should be given to SMRT.

Er...those "many services" are for BSEP DDs..

BusAnalayzer SG

No to 77 for sure.

855/857 cannot until new temp interchange... otherwise would have got long time back..

I think will go to 67/960 (6 buses)... and maybe add 2 more DDs to 972... and it would be great if they can give to 985... 187 has only one BSEP... but will be totally worth it to get...

So also 962/964.

Yishun needs to move soon... then 854/860 can get too...

Well, Yishun Temp interchange seems to be almost ready...a few days ago there's VO n ADL inside testing..the day after they doing the traffic light timing etc., more or less ready by end Nov...

TIB1234T SG

Today took 960, the stretch between KK & Opp. Newton Food Ctr, atleast 2 trees need to be chopped, can't trim becos they are huge and old trees...

That's great news.. can't wait for 851/854/855/857 to get DDs.. so also 860.

Then will have to chop... coz LTA promised to bring DDs on 960.

You mean 353x and 354x?

Haha I think the chances of the BSEP(3544 onwards) DDs deploying on some svces I mentioned earlier is high..with svc990 coming
