KJDEP can do anything with their S-shift buses. If the bus meant
for the s-shift that 1H was on just now not available due to
various reasons, they could just deploy any bus to relief the other
bus. For example, SMB1H did 67 or 970 in the morning and went back
depot. Starter may just anyhow put it anywhere for the
PM-Spilt. It isn't necessary to deploy the same bus that did
the AM Split to do the PM Split. Ends up, it come out on 172
as what it happened today.
'Anyhow' should not be used, however, appropriate usage by the
starter in the depot is what counts.
Being tactful in words is important. No company does things 'the
anyhow way'.
Based on operation viewpoint, the bus have to be suitable for
the BC, a bus that the BC is trained on, then he can take the bus
out. If the BC is not trained in the OC then it would not be
feasible for him to take it out.
Waybills bearing the same bus of the AM section of split can be
assigned back to the same BC when he collects the bus at the depot
in the PM section of split, if it has not been taken earlier or has
defects demanding repairs.
