Not only on service 980...Originally posted by vivienlee:Ya, still remembered tat sv 980 had MB0405Gs n Volgren bendies when WLDEP used 2 have bendies on sv 980 on Sun/Pub hol PM peak. In fact now the standard had dropped, instead of bendies now mainly OAC/CAC Nissans used
Missed the WLDEP bendies on sv 980 
AMDEP standard still okie tat bendy deployments r still a perm arrangements on sv 980 during Sun/Pub hols
Service 857 also have a loss of bendy buses on Sundays/Public Holidays (from full fleet to only 3/4 bendies)
Service 960 also used to have full bendies too, nowadays tend to see a few rigids on service 960.
I think that some of the WL controlled services (like 856, 912, 913 etc) switched to perm rigid deployments on Sundays/Public Holidays apart from full bendies on weekdays/Saturdays -
SMRT is cutting cost on the bendies , just look on Service like 180 , 184 on sundays and PH , using rigids.Originally posted by TIB1018B:Not only on service 980...

svc. 900 uses rigids on some Sundays (this week and a few eeks b4 dun have). Same goes to 912, 913 and even 960 on weekdays!Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:SMRT is cutting cost on the bendies , just look on Service like 180 , 184 on sundays and PH , using rigids.
BTW - 913 and 900 do not have perm rigids on Sundays -
