In between Bukit Merah & Boon Lay sits BBDEP. So they chose it to be full BB, easier to off service back to depot.
I wonder how come services 16, 48 and 506 doesn't come under partial BNDEP though these services goes all the way to Bedok and Upper East Coast from the west areas.Whereas for service 109 it still comes under minimum BNDEP control, which initially I think that HGDEP can have full control over service 109 instead.

When 16 was extended, bndep already had no space nor manpower to provide for S16. And since fleet change is minimal, arbp was able to cope with the extra buses after the extension.48 and 506 was because Upp East Coast did not have a timekeeper nor office facillities for them to change shift. S45 drivers report to bndep/Bedok before going to Upp East Coast.
109 was because of the change shift timings as well as off service run time from bndep/hgdep to Changi Village. and since bndep was able to provide 3 buses they went ahead with it.
The way every service operates is different. When a route amendment or introduction happens, they need to look at the current situation before deciding what is best for the company as well as its drivers.

Not sure whether is partial or full control. Remembered BNDEP used to deploy Scania N113CRBs on service 16 in the past, as well as also being the 1st bus service to be deployed with the new Volvo MK4 DM fleets in 1995. SBS1688K was also deployed on service 16 too if I am not mistaken.That was until when SBS decided to re-enhance the routes for service 16 and 36, after which service 36 took in all the Volvo MK4s and SBS1688K from service 16. Service 16 was then left with mainly Volvo MK3s from ARBP.

Hmm... I see.Btw for service 163, it seems that the main control is based only in Sengkang, everything was done there. Service 163 doesn't really terminate at Toa Payoh interchange as it will just stop to alight and board passengers then head straight back to Sengkang.
Same for service 172 which also loops back to Boon Lay after reaching CCK interchange.

Its somewhat related to the parking space at the respective interchanges.S159 amdep looped at Sengkang due to that. But since its now under hgdep they have no choice but to terminate at both ends.
S180 layover at Boon Lay for less than 5min as well
S854's layover time at Bedok is also less than 5min, same for S77 S106 at Marina Centre.
S87 layover time at Sengkang is less than 5min.
-
63's layover is 5mins at Rumah Tinggi. except for AR change shift runtimes at 6mins.

Think service 119's layover in Sengkang is also around 3-5 mins too.Also to add on that service 159 was officially a Toa Payoh loop at Sengkang service when it was under AMDEP last time. It was then HGDEP took over full control on service 159 which made it back to Sengkang - Toa Payoh.
