The depots will be over crowded.Or if they merge SBST must find a land big enough to have it.

BBDEP and ARBP are already a single entity. If you are talking about a merger of depots, I think many ARBP routes may come under BBDEP if and when the government takes back the ARBP land for military use.

So far, the only merger that took place was the closure of JRBP and JRDEP after the inauguration of SLBP as the new West District HQ.

You mean merged all depot operations and build a new centralised depot to replace these depots? Confused If this is what you mean, it will not be possible as it means longer journey time between the depot and interchanges/terminals.

ARBP won't be taken back for military use. the whole area will be used for future One North developments, including that of Portsdown Camp, Ayer Rajah Camp, Subordinate Courts and the whole Portsdown area. the 2 camps mentioned (incorporating 3 TPT BN, GSMB, OETI, HQ MES) will be merged with the expanded Kranji Camp in 2007/2008 when their new buildings there is ready. the area will be demilitarised.

but it is quite confirmed that ARBP will be taken back by the government for industrial use. and anyway, i think SBST can cope even if ARBP is closed down right now since BBDEP is not really full.

Subordinate Courts? Confused

Use your brains man......WLDEP and SLBP are already Multi Storey.

In that case, SBST should ask for compensation in the form of land in the East (Loyang). This way, they can relieve BNDEP by moving the PSR route group to the new facility called LYBP.

SBS9828X SG

Wahh u and ur LYBP Laughing

supremebull SG

LYBP? What for? Just expand BNDEP since there is a plot of empty land directly next to it…but since there were plans to rebuild BNDEP as a multi-storey depot on that same piece of land…just wait and see.
