Are there any bus ply Hu Ching Rd in the past?Thought saw a SBS bus pass by Jurong Town Pri Sch when i was a kid

SBS9364S SG

Now thinking about 507, didnt really trace on its fleet. It occur that they seem like BB than SL cos of striders

Striders were replaced by PA Merczs on 507 when 711/712/713 ceased on service. They were spread among 335, 502 and 507 mostly.

When 507 ceased operation, 183 was re-introduced. So, SBST put ex-507 permers on 183.

Off-topic: But one thing I don't really understand is:

Why the SBST website and bus guides stated 101, 112 and 113 as FAC service since they had PAC permers from the start?

Bus guides were not accurate sometimes especially for some SBST services with either PAC or FAC status, so is the SBST website. SBST deployments might have adhoc changes at times.

Anyway currently all SBST services are FAC except for services 74, 91, 93, 182, 192, 193 and JIS services which still have perm VO2x.

For Tibs/SMRT services which had a number of major redeployments due to WLDEP opening followed by mass CCK/BBT and SKG/PUN SBS/Tibs swop in 1999...

In the past before WLDEP opened,

AMDEP/KJDEP dual control
160, 167, 169, 855, 856

Full AMDEP
All Yishun (except 852 which is full KJ), Jln Kayu and northeast corridor Tibs services

Full KJDEP
852, 927 and all Woodlands and Bt Panjang services

When WLDEP opened in 1998,

Full KJDEP
700, 911, 912, 913, 925, 926, 927, 960, 964 and all Bt Panjang services

KJDEP/WLDEP dual control
167, 178, 181, 187, 852

AMDEP/WLDEP dual control
160, 169, 171, 851, 853, 854, 855, 856
>> Eventually 851 and 856 became full WLDEP

Full WLDEP
811, 812, 858, 900, 903

All the Tibs services in Northeast corridors remain as full AMDEP, together with feeders 800 and 804.

And in 1999-2000 when Tibs swop with SBS,

Full WLDEP
167, 178, 187, 700, 911, 912, 913, 960, 961 (former 181), 964
>> services 925 and 926 remained as KJDEP thruout

Full AMDEP
171, 811, 812, 853, 854, 855, 859*, 980 (former 160)

* Service 859 was introduced in Apr 1999 with full OAC Scania fleet from WLDEP.

AMDEP/KJDEP dual control
67, 852

Whereas KJDEP operated all the CCK services when Tibs take over from SBS.

When BBT came under Tibs in 2000,

Full WLDEP
75, 177, 184
>> services 176 and 180 remained full KJDEP thruout

Full AMDEP
852

AMDEP/KJDEP dual control
61, 106

All other BBT services came under full KJDEP.

Feeder 343 was renumbered to 921 in Apr 2000 and converted to PAC, duties were handed over to WLDEP with TIB322D and TIB638T perm. On the same day feeder 920 was introduced and was under WLDEP too.

Another round of depot transfers took place in early 2001,

Full AMDEP
851

Full WLDEP
859

AMDEP/WLDEP dual control
167, 980

Service 852 went back to dual AMDEP/KJDEP.

However with the introduction of services 962, 965 and 969 in 2001-2002, services 177 and 184 returned to full KJDEP.

Somewhere in 2004, services 852 and 859 went back under full AMDEP. Service 980's WLDEP duties were reduced and given to AMDEP when service 950 was introduced in Sept 2004.

179 too. They still have one VO2x perm via morning peak x-over from 255: SBS7288S.

Yeah... I was once a Tibs bus fan, joined the Friends of Tibs way back in 1998

Service 859 went full WLDEP on 14 Jan 2001.

Service 184 was transferred to KJDEP in 2003, the day which 966 was introduced. The bendies (1165J - 1171R) from WL184 were then distributed to 187, 856 and 962.

Service 859 went back to AMDEP on 5 September 2004. The bendies 1001Z, 1242U, 1244P and 1246J went to service 856. It got 1237K, 1238H, 1241Y and one more Habit in return.

The current volgren bendy perms on 962 all from WLDEP 184. (1184, 1188)

AMong all, only TIB1171R went over AMDEP.

AMong all, only TIB1171R went over AMDEP.

I think the Volgren Bendies on 184 were 1193C and 1194A. Or at least till late 2002.

SBS8533C SG

I still can remember VO2x on 157 (those from SLBP).. rmb I took SBS7198T on 157 in 2004.

SBS2615P SG

anyone remembers which bus is swapped for SBS9614X?

SMB66X SG

I remember taking my first Bendy ride, Square Box bendy on 61, not sure which depot.

Service 859 went full WLDEP on 14 Jan 2001.

Service 859 went back to AMDEP on 5 September 2004. The bendies 1001Z, 1242U, 1244P and 1246J went to service 856. It got 1237K, 1238H, 1241Y and one more Habit in return.

Should be TIB1098U. When service 859 got extended in Nov 2005, TIB490B and TIB773K were added into the fleet.

And on 23 March last year went back to WLDEP again lol

Service 859 as far as I can remember got swopped between WLDEP and AMDEP like almost 5 times already since its introduction in 1999. Started off with OAC Scania fleets then to Lance fleets under AMDEP after which got upgraded to Habits, then back to WLDEP with 0405Gs. And currently now with Scania and bendy fleets.

SMB32T SG

Should be KJDEP. AMDEP don't have the TIB8xx MB0405Gs unless it is the 2nd Hispano batch.

Ah yes... 1098U...

Lol.. yeah 859 is like a ping pong ball... If I remember...

April 1999: Full Scania L113 WA
Late 1999: Full Dennis Lance fleet
June 2000: 1049L became part of the fleet on 18 June, launch of Habits
Late 2000: 1054X, 1057M added, replacing all rigids. 1049L, 1054X, 1057M is the full fleet
Jan 2001: Fleet changed to 1001Z, 1046U, 1063U, 1111P

Fleet stays pretty much the same until Jan 2004

Jan 2004: 1242U, 1244P, 1246J replaces 1046U, 1063U, 1111P
Sep 2004: Service came under AMDEP, with the bendies mentioned above.
May 2005: Interchange opens. Fleet addition of 3 rigids.

These rigids also got thrown around until 490B ended up on 859 again..

Service stayed with AMDEP until the latest transfer which we see 859 going full WLDEP again.

off_service SG

Should be KJDEP. AMDEP don't have the TIB8xx MB0405Gs unless it is the 2nd Hispano batch.

If I'm not wrong the first production batch of O405Gs are launched on services 82, 103 and 851, in which all are AMDEP?

lemon1974 SG

9812R

SMB32T SG

Yes, AMDEP did took in some 0405Gs when it was new in 1997. They were deployed on 82, 812, 851 and 856. As well as made cameo appearances on service 160.

It was when WLDEP opened in 1998, those 812, 851 and 856 0405G permers got transferred to WLDEP. The remaining service 82 0405G permers transferred to KJDEP to do service 190 in 1999. After which AMDEP hardly had MB0405Gs. Remembered TIB856E and TIB892A got transferred to AMDEP for a short while in 1999-2000 after which went back to KJDEP again when more Habits were bought in.

SBS9364S SG

Should be TIB1098U. When service 859 got extended in Nov 2005, TIB490B and TIB773K were added into the fleet.

When did TIB773K went over 851? Last year March a.k.a the major redeployment?

off_service SG

When did TIB773K went over 851? Last year March a.k.a the major redeployment?

No. TIB 773 K was a one off swap with TIB 762 S. Nothing to do with the redeployment.
