2 new bus parks for both operators for 2016 fleet additions

last SG · 2012-03-16T23:04:12+00:00

I anticipated this for so long..Yes both operators need another bus park each.For SBST it's good choice to built another bus park in the east to supplement B...

People as in what type of people?

I don't think it would be like how BRBP is to AMDEP, or ARBP is to BBDEP for that matter. Like what 'carbikebus' mentioned, BR & AR both have their own bus washers & refuelling pumps. So they are sort of a semi-independent depot, just that their buses can be exchanged within AM & BB respectively by the starters.

I'm more inclined to think that this new Changi bus park is like an additional plot of land of BNDEP, like an extension of BNDEP, just that it's not located right beside BNDEP but 1km+ away. Something along that line. So I guess finding out which services park in Changi doesn't matter much, since they will still go to BN for maintenance & refuel. Unless some services like Sv 16 or 48 gets minority control under BN when the bus park open.

16 should go BN minority like the good old days. Ditto for 7 & 93.

For 2 days continuously I saw at least 4 buses at Upp Changi side between 1pm-4pm but not sure at night leh

No buses there yet as of yesterday though. It can't be that the BCs parked their buses in BNDEP during the day then at night transfer to Changi hor? I mean, those S shift buses would be at Changi if its in operation right?

But then again, yesterday is PH so Changi should be full of off-service buses if it's in operation?

Still empty as of today as well at 10am+ for Changi.

If i'm not wrong, from far there's at least about 10 new MAN A22s parking at 1 corner together side by side...

According to SgWiki, CGDEP has full control of TAM route group when it would be better instead for it to run PSR route group from CG. Either way, BNDEP should have more room, so it should be allowed to take over EUN operations as well. EUN to BRBP is the longest distance for any interchange to its parent depot.

How 'bout New Bridge Rd Ter/Shenton Way Ter to AMDEP?

carbikebus SG

To be frank,There's no perfect deployment mate but Eunos under Brbp is just overkill.Brbp should just control St Mikes beside Toa Payoh.Bndep should take over Eunos and geographic term Shenton Way/New Bridge Rd should under Arbp but again depot space issue is another problem.
