they scraped the idea of pure SLBP 143?
you may wish to read my reply earlier
Let me fill you in with some numbers for you to crunch then you
tell me if its possible for 52 and 143 to be full slbp.
S52
It was
mentioned earlier by mod that the buses usually off service from
the opposite terminating point. This is true.
1st bus from Bishan is 0545hrs. If its deployed from slbp the
bus will depart slbp at 0458hrs. Last bus reaches Bishan at
0042hrs. Back to slbp will be 0129hrs. In both cases its possible
to go full slbp.
But look at the amdep split shift. By rule of thumb all split
shifts have to return to their own depot by 2030hrs. the amdep
split shift arrives at Bishan at 2008hrs. Tell me if its possible
for that split shift to be under slbp?
S143
In any case its also possible for S143 to be under full slbp. Let
me give you the last bus numbers for you to crunch. Last bus from
Jurong East to Toa Payoh is 2330hrs all days except Saturday
(2400hrs). They arrive at Toa Payoh at 0052hrs and 0118hrs
respectively. What time will the last Saturday bus reach slbp if
its under full slbp control?
