Then what? VJC move to Kallang Bahru?

tranquilice SG

Nope, VS stays at Kallang Bahru (should be Geylang Bahru). Don't understand why they must be together. Confused

Because RJC moved to BSH to be closer to RI. VS not wanting to be outdone, so die die must move next door to VJC.

Were MRP & now UEC routes ever controlled by BDK route group? How to monitor them? Also, I think 16 needs an arrangement like 63.

tranquilice SG

Then VJC should has moved to Geylang Bahru, not VS moved to Marine Parade. Laughing

BNDEP used to control services terminating at Marine Parade terminal. Service 16 was controlled by BNDEP and ARBP in the past, which explained the Scania CRBs and MK4 Striders, not sure about DM3500s.

iveco SG

Then who monitors UEC Ter now?

tranquilice SG

I dunno about route group, but service 13 is solely controlled by AMDEP.

service_238 SG

why dont i twist the question say why is Eunos Interchange underutilised? can let some Bedok services terminate as its currently so jam-packed? Rolling Eyes

iveco SG

I think Svcs 9 & 35 should start from EUN, if SBST wants to ease overcrowding @ BDK.

tranquilice SG

Service 9 may as well return to Lor 1 Geylang terminal. Laughing

BTW, when 16 was plying between Bukit Merah & Marine parade terminal, it was solely under BNDEP with full fleet of MK4 DMs. After the amendment, 16 was transfered to full ARBP. It’s ex MK4 DM fleet scattered. Some stay in BNDEP while some went over to HGDEP.

tranquilice SG

I remember there were striders and CRBs on the service. Confused And why wasn't it also controlled by ARBP during the Bt Merah - Marine Parade days?

musli_bar SG

svc 16 can actually terminate by the roadside at siglap link - like it always do Wink svc 16 is very long

sbs&tibs SG

The route is short but it is only long in its stages. Razz

sbs&tibs SG

I don't know. Maybe because its main route group is in the east or ARBP is crowded before the handover of BB & CCK?

leeJZ SG

can take up to 3h roundtrip...not very short.

sbs&tibs SG

Ok, ok, I understand. Smile

iveco SG

Then how do you explain the Striders on Svc 16 in the past? I can also rememebr the occasional Mk III.

iveco SG

Meaning some ARBP services were transferred to their main depot after 1999?

iveco SG

No need for that. Just have a similar depot control arrangement like Svc 63 can liao.
