There are also services which off service from the non-change shift
terminating point. Its numbers kinda outnumber the other depot
controlling that terminating point. These services come mostly
from west side depot (not district) as the east side has too many
services on their side.
14 65 66 105 143 147 154 196 are some of them.
Some breakdown in numbers. All schedules Weekday
14 Bedok-arbp: 6, Bedok-bndep: 5
65: Tampines-arbp: 11, Tampines-bndep: 6
105: Serangoon-slbp: 4-5, Serangoon-hgdep: 2-3 (based on 2006
figures) However, morning got alot of slbp-Serangoon due to hgdep
ones doing morning downroute from Whitley/Toa Payoh/NYJC
side.
143: Toa Payoh-slbp: 12, Toa Payoh-brbp: 1
196: Bedok-bbdep: 5, Bedok-bndep: 6
The service that it not the norm is service 10. Think there's
some historical reason behind it.
143 br side p shift 2 keep at jurong east, 1 keep at teban
gardens, 1 at toa payoh.
143 sl side p shift 13 keep at toa payoh, 2 keep at
jurong east, 3 keep at teban gardens.
wastage of resources. the br 143 a shifts should start
earlier at this range from 0530-0615 instead of
0625-0655. to allow keeping at the right side to occur. and to save
on off svc fuel.
the first 6 buses departing toa payoh from 143 are all slbp,
followed by 5 br buses. with 1 slbp bus in between them. that
slbp bus downroute early in the morning from pasir panjang to
toa payoh.
