there are still quite a number of LO3x that are going off in
SLBP and need to replace by WEGs.... Those WEGS (32** series) that
was transferred over to SLBP recently are suppose to be for SLBP in
the first place. but since SLBP need time to clear out all their
layup LO3x and HGDEP need buses to replace those deregistered MK4,
therefore HGDEP uses these WEGs temporary....until SLBP have space
to take in more buses.
cant you all just wait? last time no WEGs/Citaros also complain.
now so many WEGs also complain.. How can SBST satisfy every bus
services? there are still around 470 VO3x on the roads.... so
if all those HGDEP services get WEGS, then where these 470 VO3x
going to be deploy? park in depot to rot? transfer all to JIS
?
Actually I had been expecting for the other West District depots
to take in the new WEGs which in turn will transfer some VO3x over
to SLBP for the replacement of LO3x and VO2x on JIS services.
And I also dun think SBST have intentions to upgrade JIS services
to WEGs as for now.
As for HGDEP side, notice that it had been taking in several
K230UBs and Citaros from the other West District depots lately.
Perhaps it is the reason that HGDEP doesn't need any DDs as most of
the deregistrating MK4s comes mainly from the SD services. And
looks like 159 and 325 had been getting some upgrades lately (which
might lead to the next WAB candidate coming Dec).
