All 7 Citaros assigned to KJDEP operate on permanent service
77
10 Citaros were assigned to WLDEP, 3 for 920, 5 assigned to 75,
and the other 2 to 961,
All the other Citaros not mentioned here were assigned to AMDEP,
which holds the largest number of SMRT OC500LEs and Citaros out of
the 3 SMRT depots currently.
in return, it does not hold any MAN Lion's City buses at all. So
sad 
Let's backtrack to the first time OC500LEs were deployed.
Remember WLDEP did not take in any OC, and all the O405s (with the
L113s from KJDEP) kept coming in at them?
And it was only when 128B - 134H entered WLDEP first on 961, that
they transferred 119C - 122S from AMDEP. And over time, more OCs
transferred to WLDEP from KJDEP and WLDEP in exchange for some
O405s from WLDEP.
Let's now go to the timeline of the Citaros. Excluding 136C, the PB
Batch 1 buses were deployed to both WLDEP and AMDEP. 5 for each
depot. Then, when the PB Batch 2 came out, KJDEP initially took in
149R - 151H, 169H, 177J, 181X - 184M, 186H - 188C. But then most of
these buses got transferred to either WLDEP or AMDEP due to them
taking in more MAN.
When MAN A22 PBs were first introduced, 192P 231K 236Y 238S 240J
from AMDEP transferred to WLDEP, but in exchange for no buses. This
left AMDEP with no MAN A22s. It was only much later on when some of
the OCs, Citaros and O405s got transferred to KJDEP or AMDEP due to
the intake of the 25x-26x series MAN.
And now, with the intake of 27x-29x series MAN to WLDEP, Citaros
O405s have been transferred.
But don't you see the patterns? When one depot doesn't want/take in
a certain model, eventually over time, the deployment will settle
down for that depot? So I am hoping over time that the excess MANs
be deployed to KJDEP and AMDEP hopefully, in return for the Citaros
and O405s.
Did anyone see TIB798P recently?
Yes, on 08/07 on 851 as per usual..
