  roughly from then on wards, not IMF. Rmb there used to be merc NAC on Sv 328(1 & only).
  
  oso long long time ago still rmb there was mercs on sv 165.

  cos alot of the 28xx i take only 4 rows behind the exit row.
  
  and the very back row does not count during the entire course of my discussions -.-"

  If the back row is not included then I think it is 4. The leg room with 4 rows is tight enough, how about 5. Will tell you if there is 5 after I check again.

  Former service M4 used MK2 and MK3s if I am not mistaken
  
  Service 72 during its beginning days used MB0405 AC buses. When merged with former service 80 and extended to Tampines in 1998, Volvo MK3s were being added in to the fleet (AMDEP and HGDEP dual control). After some time service 72 came under full AMDEP control and all MK3s were withdrawn. LO3x and AC DDs were also introduced in service 72 somewhere in 2000

  I used to take the peak-hour only 72 (YCK - AMK Ave 5 (Loop)) to my swimming lessons at YCK Swim Cplx.. Those were the days..
  
  9633R and 9634M used to be on sv 72.

  Nope. All JB-reg buses that don't serve 950 are not perm buses of 950 before

  Then do all SMRT JB-registered buses not perm on Service 950 serve as spare buses for Service 950?

  if u think that the answer is No, then did u see bendy or DAF or Nissan on SV950?

  why cant people get it that 160/170 MUST use JB-registered mk3 and 950 MUST use JB registered MB O405 and nothing else

  Of course not. DAF are full KJDEP/BBDEP controlled and all Nissans are not JB-registered.

  Is it common for BCs on P shift to sign off from duty early? I read one timesheet of BC driving SBS 9177R on Service 168 today. The last line read "2159 amdep" and he was on P shift. I forgot the shift number he was on.

  Some sign off late, but some sign off early.
  
  For 242, they converted an S shift to A/P shift. So that new P shift is the earliest to go off, reaching depot at 2258.
  
  It just depends on how they did the scheduling. Just like why some A shifts start at 5am+ while others start at 7am+ on the same service.
  Usually, they would avoid major rescheduling, so that's why you end up with extremely short or extremely long shifts.

  Just FYI that is a super duper early P shift to return to the depot. Timesheets that i have come across so far for services with normal operating hours is that the earliest P shift would arrive at the depot after 2215hrs.
  
  In proportion to that the P shift driver would also be the earliest to start his duty. Likely timing to be 1300-1330hrs. means the A shift doesnt have OT.
  
  In other cases last bus from a terminating point does not always mean last P driver to start work. May apply to some services but not for others (especially short haul routes including feeders).

  1. Anyone know what is SBS73R first perm service before it was been refustubied and was perm on Service 3?
  
  2. I notice that BNDEP has lots of Scania N113CRB (NAC). DO you think they may go to like ARBP for example so that those Scanias will replaced the Mark IIs on ARBP services for eg. Service 95.
  
  3. Did Express 506 controlled by SLBP before and used MB0405 before it was controlled by BBDEP?

  doubt is 9149Y. the LO3x on 165 i saw was near the IMF period. i know that got buses change depot during that period.
