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

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

You think 990 will get DDs? I think should start with MANs... don't think service will need DDs yet...

Instead, I prefer 962/964 getting DDs to 990... as it will take a few months for load to pick up... and load might not be exactly DD worthy.

SMB42P SG

From the looks of the route for 990, i doubt so it will be given a DD when it starts its revenue service...

It should not... but given that they have so many SP DDs... you never know...

What they need to do is make some MANs spare to give to 990... and give the DDs to 965, 985 etc.

lemon1974 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.

their VP already say recently that those short haul routes will be using Bendies...

carbikebus SG

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

Even with new temp Int 855 still cant use DDs unless its partial control by Wldep bro

That's not a problem.. SMRT has been smart to shift duties to WLBP/WLDEP as required from AMDEP.

Since SMRT transferred 860 buses completely back to AMDEP, they may have to transfer some duties back to WLDEP or WLBP once again to get DDs as well.

Yes... they keep changing duties between AMDEP and WLDEP/WLBP these days.

dun think 860 will get DD.... what they can do is improve the frequency by adding more buses (they have excess of BSEP MAN currently as well)...

SBS3688Y 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...

if due to this tree cannot cut then our govt is contridicting itself. many of us should have noticed in recent years many forests were chopped for developments. bus depots already Bulim & Loyang. Also Bt Batok forests, Pasir Ris etc etc.

Eh? I tot only Feeders/Intra-town using bendies? Oo..

ADL spotted inside current Yishun Interchange :)

Sorry, what I meant was the DDs(3544-...) will be thrown to those few trunks svcs I mentioned earlier on, and those MAN from the trunks svc will be thrown to 990.

BusAnalayzer SG

Yeah! that makes sense.

BusAnalayzer SG

Agreed. They will have to chop of those trees to accommodate DDs on 67/960.

ADL spotted inside current Yishun Interchange :)

Current one? Have to be very careful not to bang into those shelters... must be going to the other side of interchange...

maybe signs that 857 will get ADLs soon.
