  SMRT haven purchase new buses for quite sometime?

  FYI, the tenders for new 12m buses submission deadline is already over long ago. Now SMRT has to make a decision which bus they want to buy, its gonna happen, just a matter of when they going to make the purchase. But i think this might take a long time, as you know, SMRT likes to drag some things.

  Does 194 have additional buses on Sundays?

  It seems to be getting more interesting. It's a proper S shift. But I believe there will be 2 other drivers driving each merc during the SWING period. So that means 3 drivers for each 194 bus.
  
  I will see on Monday (or Tues).

  SBS 7261T (252 SLBP) and SBS 9002L (72 AMDEP) have their destos covered but only exposed for the service number?
• SBS9888Y

  24 Mar 07, 23:01

  This is what i foresee
  
  BRBP in a few weeks/months time...
  
  excluding service 88
  
  svc. 131 DM interchange with AMDEP SVC MB0405
  
  svc. 28 and svc. 154 VO3x interchange with AMDEP SVC LO3x
  
  the question is will the Volvo DM3500 (SBS2722M and SBS2809Y) as well as the VO3x Batch 1s (SBS9262C, SBS9302X, SBS9328Y and Sv. 60 VO3x Batch I) interchange with AMDEP SVC MB0405s and LO3xs
  
  if so...
  
  BRBP SDs
  all MB0405s and the Scania OAC/NAC/CAC on sv. 90, 94, 155 and 157.
  
  BRBP DDs
  all LO3x and the 9 VSOs on Sv. 28, 31, 143 and 154.
  
  Conclusion: BRBP fleet=OLD and boring...

  SBS 3776B (24 AMDEP) does not have any rego plate inside the bus, similar to SBS 9373R (99 BBDEP).

  and the 1 or 2 163 brochures too! Sad thing that the service 80 desto may not return to HGDEP unless ARBP is planning to transfer it back. . Btw i dun think training buses of SBST have done cameo before. Is it true?
