Heard SMRT have plans to put one split shift DD to replace a
bendy on 172...not sure how true is this...
(My own speculation: since there are 4 bendy
slots, and that 3 of them are rotating shifts by the 3 BCs, I am
guessing that 172S102 may be converted if this is true since it has
a perm BC..but abit waste to put on 172S102 as the timing for this
bus usually dun have much passengers esp for PM peak)
Well, I feel that what 172 needs is more high capacity buses
during peak hours. Does not matter if is DD or AB.
That conversion is probably only because a AB is retiring.
