BNDEP currently have too many NAC buses already, compared to
HGDEP and ARBP/BBDEP. Even short haul bus services like 11, 91, 92,
115, 191, 200 which were majority NAC fleets have now become
FAC. Service 151 is much better off, from many NAC buses now have
new Scania K230UB fleets. Just waiting for services like 6, 35, 37,
38 (originally FAC), 229, 292, 403 to become FAC fleets too.
For those like services 19, 29, and other services that have
majority OAC/CAC Scania N113 CRB fleets, which buses will
replace them...
Remember those times when PLAB services 90 and 94 had a lot of
NAC Scania N113 CRBs from BRBP, but had eventually became FAC
fleets when those NAC buses were transferred over to BNDEP, making
things worse for BNDEP with full of NAC buses. If I am not
mistaken, those NAC buses went over there to replace the outgoing
MK2s last year??
True for service 32 ARBP and BNDEP deployments...ARBP gives
service 32 all the Volvo MK4 buses whereas BNDEP only gives
old buses, worse till NAC buses too. Service 33 about the same, but
not too bad. At least got some Volvo MK4s from BNDEP and do not
have any NAC fleets.
Will be good if services 32 and 33 gets the new Scania K230UBs
from BNDEP once the Scania N113 CRBs are gone.
For the VO2x to transfer from ARBP to SLBP, services 74 and 93
will sure benefit from the redeployments (at the expense of service
91 too
). And it seems that by then SLBP will only be the
SBST depot to have NAC buses. And since service 93 got the DD front
desto, was wondering why it don't get AC DDs??
