OK, I mean is SBS906M or SBS1985C the BNDEP cameo-er. That means to say that it cameo on almost BNDEP services like SBS1881T cameo on almost ARBP/BBDEP servicesOriginally posted by SBS1985C:huh? Can rephrase?

1. I'd like to go to YMCA to take photos of buses.
a) My trip must involve at least a ride on Service 64. So if I take the following to YMCA (from Bedok Interchange),
BDK > 60/87 > 23 > 64
is this considered the fastest way to get to YMCA? If so, how long?
b) For my return trip, I would take:
64 from YMCA (loop at Mei Ling Street) > 7 > BDK
How long would the trip last?
2. A source states that BCs of Service 192 and 193 are not allowed to park at Boon Lay Interchange unless the BC is changing shift. Does the BC of 192 and 193 continue their journey after alighting their passengers? If not, do they temporarily park at the unused spaces at BNL until it's time for the BC to go to Tuas? -
They stop at alighting berth to change destos & wait till next trip to Tuas(usually less than 5 mins)Originally posted by TWS4793:2.

They will only parked at parking berths to change shift/x-over buses & for overnight parking(?). -
Does Townlink 291 Bus Drivers rotate shift? That means to say that Townlink 291 bus drivers drive different buses...

1. Do you have a fetish of taking S64? If yes, then that's the best route you can take. It takes about 40min to get there.Originally posted by TWS4793:1. I'd like to go to YMCA to take photos of buses.

S60 - 7min
S23 - 15min (xfer at Bendemeer Rd Boon Keng MRT Stn)
S64 - 10-12min
your return trip will take about 1 hour 45min.
S64 - 65min (walk back to PS bus stop at Dhoby Ghaut)
S7 - 35min
2. That source is true. Timesheet never indicate a break at Boon Lay Interchange unless changing shift. If the BC is early at boon lay, he turn around the bay a couple of times before starting its next trip, subject to parking availability. One thing for sure the driver never leaves the bus at Boon Lay. -
That's not rotate shift, that's jump bus.Originally posted by bus555:Does Townlink 291 Bus Drivers rotate shift? That means to say that Townlink 291 bus drivers drive different buses... -

S73 at Toa Payoh before converted into loop service.Originally posted by choww:Is it the same concept as S163 at Toa Payoh int? What other services does that?
S159 amdep at Sengkang -
According to timesheet, the next trip is actually immediate. But very often, BC early, that's why can slack a while.Originally posted by brotherchen1982:They stop at alighting berth to change destos & wait till next trip to Tuas(usually less than 5 mins)
Occasionally, even the 79 BCs will park for a short while at BNL if early, especially in off peak hours. -
Some go make phone calls, some go buy newspapers from Buzz & read in bus...Originally posted by stooper:According to timesheet, the next trip is actually immediate.

Can anyone verify with me which 806 bus got taken out? Because every now and then there have been bendy cameos on 806. I'll list out the previous perms:
TIB 1160 Y
TIB 1164 L
TIB 1176 C
TIB 1201 M
I believe TIB 1160 Y has been missing for some time. Any verifications? -
