Now confirmed that 979 will have 2 perm DDs.

I think SMRT will give more DDs to 979 in due course. I thought it might be a mix of bendies + DDs but seems like YT Crescent residents go upper deck and those alighting at YT MRT from Crescent stay at lower deck, so DDs are doing pretty okay.

851 got back 2 bendies. Interesting how SMRT downgrades 851 when it goes low on bendy resources, and when it finds some bendies, it deploys back on 851.

854 got another fleet add... but got many more HC buses now... 18 HC buses + 12 rigids.

I think this is because the population both in Yishun and along YCK Road is increasing.

851 and generally Yishun / Sembawang services are sacrificial lambs for the SMRT Pet towns Woodlands and Choa Chu Kang what. Like that time all 851 bendies give to 960. 859 last time also got bendies now 0.

all 851 bendies were given to 960, 960 bendies given to 190 when 190 was awarded to TIBS from SBS, and maybe they certify bendies are permitted on that route. So I think double deckers on 190 gets redeployed to other areas, BNDEP, BRBP, AMDEP, SLBP, HGDEP, CGBP, ARBP and BBDEP.

Its not SMRT but Amdep style,Sometimes they deploys up to 9-10 bendy buses.

859 usually have 2 bendy buses deploys for Weekends or PHs.

Bendy buses aren't deployed that often anymore ever since both DDs are deployed under the Split shift duties..

could it be the aftermath of the BKE incident? Since 171 and 178 were affected...

854 has received quite some capacity upgrade. Now operating with 18 HC buses, 12 rigids. Actually can make fleet 24 HC buses, 3 rigids enough.

SMB315C SG

167 has got a new BSEP duty added into the fleet at 17012016..

Hopefully this slot can upsize to a Double-Decker in the future..

aournd 630pm can get one from toa payoh hub

BusAnalayzer SG

Would make sense for 145 to have more DDs, but no change in time suggests that might still be operating with 3 DDs only.

151 also occassionally has 4-5 DDs running, but perm is only 3.
