180?975?851?882 affected?

carbikebus SG

180?975?851?882 affected?

180 probably yes as for the rest haven't confirm yet.975 I think will stay Kjdep for the time being...

TIB 585L SG

If all of the above is confirm. Then it will be around 100 buses transferred to WLBP. I wonder if 190 got space or not at KJ

carbikebus SG

Sure got space.Beside Mandai there's planning to build a bus park at West Coast/Pandan Gdn dunno it's true or not

TIB 585L SG

If built then good because it is quite far for BBT service to go KJ refuel and come back BBT for ONP

carbikebus SG

Good for Bt Merah,Harbourfront and Cbd svc also.If its true CCK will under Wldep also

TIB 585L SG

Wah if CCK under WLDEP, KJDEP will be redundant by then and hopefully WLDEP dont get overload of service

carbikebus SG

If they move to either Mandai or Pandan then Kjdep will cease operation cause tender expire in early 2014,Ditto for Amdep

TIB 585L SG

AMDEP need a change urgently and WLDEP shld control SEBP. It is far to go back to AM than WL for refuel and then ONP. AM can control majority part of YIS and YIBP and most of the CBD SMRT svc

TIB783G SG

If 970 goes AMDEP it would really be a waste of time if they practice late starters.

True. AM is the nearest to Shenton Way. It can follow the route of buses like 70,162,130,133 to Shenton Way for early first bus

I do have a feeling 70 162 130 133 do practice late starters on sundays/PH. Can anyone confirm? Not sure with SBST's style of doing things though.

For SMRT, yes 106 961 does practice that.

lemon1974 SG

when there is only3 depots, there is NO perfect solution for the deployment of buses.. why worry so much for SMRT? they deploy 176 from WLDEP or KJDEP will affect you ppl? No mah.. as long as the buses come on time can already. every time i see so many opinion from this and that saying that the distance from this depot to ter/int is very long..and SMRT should deploy this sv from here and not there... if it is really so easy, then why dun you ppl go apply job with SMRT and go do the deployment? .what can SMRT do to solve it? ask them go build one depot at Marina Bay?

Even SBST with so many depots are also facing issue with the deployments.... There is no perfect solution at all.

carbikebus SG

Chill,It just a mere discussions

Please clarify what you mean by late starters, if not i will assume that its A/P shift starting later than usual.

70M: 2 buses start at suntec back to YCK at 0600 & 0621 are AM shift

130: 2 buses start at shenton way 0600 & 0615 are AM shift.

133: 3 buses start at Esplanade to AMK at 0600 0616 0632 are 2 AM, 1 split; while first bus from Shenton at 0630 is AM shift.

162M: no buses start in town. the downroutes start at macritchie reservoir to yck at 0600 0614 0628 0642 0656 0709, 5 AM shift, 1 split shift.

considering the timing that they start from town, i personally do not think they qualify as late starters as the timing seems normal to me.
