Redeployments (Part2)

Let's take the example of SIN (SIN=Changi Airport) being compatible for the new Airbus A380. You need wider taxiways to let the huge jumbo jet taxi on the taxiways and runways safely. You need new gates/'fingers' to allow for faster and easier boarding. You also need new catering vehicles to reach the second deck of the A380.Originally posted by azharjj:any idea why some B9TLs transfer to AR depot ?
Similarly, I think it's because last time ARBP wasn't B9 compatible, so they had to probably ask some contractors to do modifications to the depot. Now since it's B9 compatible, ARBP was thus the last depot to receive and 'play' with their B9s. -
ARBP doesn't get their B9s last time because none of their service got perm B9. Now 14 has perm B9s of course they are under ARBP.

The 154 & 254 sticker look similar from far...Originally posted by stooper:Are you sure it's 254 sticker, not just old the 154 sticker? Have you seen the bus actually doing 254 before? Today still on 252.

TIB634D was seen on Sv77 today. Maybe it has not been transfered?Originally posted by carbikebus:Then which bus replace 634D on S77?
BTW,These few services need to be monitor.Many reshuffle has been done
S61,Probably reduce 1 bus>31 buses
S67,Fleet addition by AMDEP>Probably another 2 buses
S77,Which bus replace 634D & 966X?
S190,What happen to 882D?Another Saw Phaik Hwa save cost scheme?
S851,Fleet reduction? -
Care to elaborate more on which aspect it was uncompatible?Originally posted by TWS4793:Let's take the example of SIN (SIN=Changi Airport) being compatible for the new Airbus A380.

The B9 is 2.55m across, 0.15m longer than ordinary buses. A specialised parking space is needed to allow safer parking of the B9, thus the suggested reason of the incompatibility of ARBP to house the B9s.Originally posted by dfs24:Care to elaborate more on which aspect it was uncompatible? -
Can anyone confirm with me if SBS 9005 D (BRBP SP) has been sent on 88 to replace SBS 9424 C? Saw it today on cameo 88 but no confirmation if it has been a replacement, because I heard rumours that a LO3x was going to replace SBS 9424 C and it could be one of the BRBP SPs.

regular buses are 2.5m wide.Originally posted by TWS4793:The B9 is 2.55m across, 0.15m longer than ordinary buses. A specialised parking space is needed to allow safer parking of the B9, thus the suggested reason of the incompatibility of ARBP to house the B9s. -

another bendy gone from 190... chances to get a seat from town is even lower now -
i dun see any retrofitting of YCK terminal, AMDEP as well.Originally posted by TWS4793:The B9 is 2.55m across, 0.15m longer than ordinary buses. A specialised parking space is needed to allow safer parking of the B9, thus the suggested reason of the incompatibility of ARBP to house the B9s.
If that is the case, B9 should have specific parking lots in all depots, since SBST is not going to retrofit the whole depot just to park some B9.
But then i see B9 parking everywhere inside AMDEP. -
so the diff is only 5cm, which is really small...Originally posted by SBS9818A:regular buses are 2.5m wide. -
well apparently some depots' bus washing machines have to be adjusted just for that extra width.Originally posted by 566117:so the diff is only 5cm, which is really small... -
Why not compaitable? 5cm isn't very much difference, the space between 2 buses is likely to be more than 10cm. The only problem comes when the bus requires wahing, either they can do bndep way which is to squeeze in any bus into the washing machine without calibration, or folow the other depots, which is to calibrate before B9TLs go into the bus wash.Originally posted by TWS4793:Let's take the example of SIN (SIN=Changi Airport) being compatible for the new Airbus A380.
