AMDEP n KJDEP should switch their location...
A depot near the CBD(AMDEP) turns out to
produce a farm-like quality, whereas a depot near the farm(KJDEP)
turns out to produce "CBD" quality

*SMB191S PIS malfunctioned already for quite some time... (Assumed as it was turned off)
* SMB136C also in a very sorry state now... Both its front top white lights are spoil, the back right light also malfunctioned, engine louder than normal citaros and interior really very dusty... (not saying its back right side has been dented)
*Those 860 BSEP buses rims also no longer shiny... those KJDEP and WLDEP MAN are much better maintained...
AMDEP what... they can't be bothered to fix anything. That's why the TIB Lances are in a very sorry and disgusting state.

It will be de-registered before its lay up expiry date or even possible the lay up may be extended. But it is strange that TIB908P and TIB928G were de-registered after 3 months of lay-up.
Yeah.
But I do think the last time I see TIB908P on 167 it is still in a OK state.

For SBST, BNDEP is sort of the "lazy" kind or the "always running out of stock" one.
Then HGDEP is the "dont know do what today" kind, anytime they can suka suka repaint one of their Dennis Tridents, or just continue painting the striders and DMs...
They even helped AMDEP to paint their SBS1988U
AMDEP is the "Must shiny shiny" one, all rims confirm BLING BLING but the bodywork like old old already, some of their KUBs got scratched at the rear, maybe when reversing or what, and never wanted to fix up the bodywork. Some parts of the livery fell off and must wait long long then resticker.
BBDEP ah... The one who ''takes care of the high mileage one''. Though I havent board most of BBDEP buses.
ARBP... The ''borrow everything from neighbour'' one, since ARBP doesn't keep their own spare buses
BRBP, the one who keeps "giving and getting". BRBP gave away a few units to AMDEP and then AMDEP gave them back to BRBP... lols
SLBP... The ''doesn't clean up interior'' one. The DM3500s which was transferred to HGDEP, SBS2788Z, was in a terrible condition. It had spider webs [ Eww! ] and dust everywhere. As if the bus wasn't washed for a long time.
The above are just minor spectulation for ARBP, BBDEP and SLBP, so don't need to argue that much as these are still under observation... These are just my spectulations.

How do you judge how the depots take care of the buses?

SMB244Z of WL 187 the EDS number at the front is at the left hand side, if u face the bus windscreen, instead of right hand side that i usually see for other MAN buses
is this common?
MANs are getting this reformat. But the thing is, this renders the side EDS useless, because with the new format, it only displays random data info.

SMRT is reformatting the EDS on their MANs. Now follow O405 style but the side eds doesn't show anything or shows weird stuff since its not programmed yet, must wait for SMRT to program it first. SMB196D has this format and the side eds shows MOBI MAN XXXX (date) while SMB260B also has this format but side eds showws OFF SERVICE and covered in paper.

Now i know why SMRTB keep complaining they lose money on fuel
Depot allocation and their bus service
61 particularly between Ubi sector nowadays not much catchment and the off service from Eunos to Kranji for certain blocks..Sigh..966 last 4 buses off service from Parkway to Woodlands.75/960 from Marina to Woodlands..963 from Harbourfront to Woodlands..
That's one reason why there is a need for dual control

All of their service stated can dual with AM but AMDEP got problem with spaces
