S72 has always had more than 5 SDs, 1 DM3500, 2 DM Mercs, and 5 CAC Mercs for a total of 8 SDs. Which is of course little compared to the 15 LO3X & 5 VSOs it has.Originally posted by 28_29_293:B4 the depot shuffle thing, svc 72 got abt 5 SD buses.

Svc 82 guide wrong info ( i guess typo error). Last bus from serangoon to punggol rd end then back to serangoon is at 0006 (mon to sat) & 0005 (sun&ph). Aft 0005/0006 till 0020 it ends at punggol rd end only.Originally posted by 105090:sv82 last bus is at 2300 from serangoon

70 and 70X, 107 and 107X use the same desto for the front but if you want to know where it goes to you only can check the side only. Remember taking 107 at around 1330 at Upper Serangoon Rd to Marina Centre never check the side desto then board and the bus instead went to Shenton WayOriginally posted by sinicker:how to differentiate between 107 and 107X?

Was service 32 partially-controlled by BNDEP in 2002/2003? In which year did it went back to HGDEP? I remembered riding on Scania N113CRBs on the service.

AFAIK, 32 had been with BNDEP for a long time. NAC Scanias used to dominate on this service. But somewhere down the timeline, it was transferred over to HGDEP and 9 moved the opposite direction.Originally posted by tranquilice:Was service 32 partially-controlled by BNDEP in 2002/2003?

If im not wrong it was 197 and 9 that swapped, not 32 and 9.Originally posted by iveco:AFAIK, 32 had been with BNDEP for a long time. NAC Scanias used to dominate on this service. But somewhere down the timeline, it was transferred over to HGDEP and 9 moved the opposite direction. -
could it be that certain scanias got transferred over to hgdep for a few months during a depot transfer and hgdep thought it best to put them on a bedok pac/nac service of which 32 is one of them?Originally posted by tranquilice:Was service 32 partially-controlled by BNDEP in 2002/2003?

It was svc 9 swopped for 197 and 32.Originally posted by leeJZ:If im not wrong it was 197 and 9 that swapped, not 32 and 9. -
Did BNDEP take responsibility for 197 following its merger with 41? Anyway, 41 didn't seem to have had BNDEP buses. I remember O305s serving it. AFAIK, the north-east was the stronghold of Merc DDs.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:It was svc 9 swopped for 197 and 32. -
When 197 merged with 41 , HGdepot took control of the service. Service 41 was partially controlled by HGdepot/ARdepot.Originally posted by iveco:Did BNDEP take responsibility for 197 following its merger with 41? Anyway, 41 didn't seem to have had BNDEP buses.

But wasn't 197 HGDEP all along ? I remember Geylang Fringe has been HGDEP's responsibility all these years.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:When 197 merged with 41 , HGdepot took control of the service. Service 41 was partially controlled by HGdepot/ARdepot. -
No, 197 was under the west before the merger with 41.Originally posted by iveco:But wasn't 197 HGDEP all along ? I remember Geylang Fringe has been HGDEP's responsibility all these years.
