Being a route/deployment planner isnt as easy as you think. Dont think you know all the bus routes in singapore = you can be a route planner. -

Because taking 105 would be much faster.Best is to take 153 to Queensway and walk.

I do feel that having such a subject is redundant for Singapore. You should have a look at the university courses to see what courses are there, which many can actually land you a job in the transport operators.

If you're talking about "send what bus on what route", you can omit this in most cases.A bus is still a bus when the company is big enough like SBST. The differences between the buses, be it fuel consumption or what have you are dimunitive on paper. This applies only to buses of the same category, eg SD/DD, WAB/Non-WAB.
If you can make your life simpler, why make it complicated?

But knowing all the bus routes in Singapore would put you in a much better position to be a route planner. =) -
