a bit similar to last yr sia! n then Soon Chow "dominated" e show! -
I was having a thought when i saw the Nissank Diesel buses starting to disappear from SG roads. Having heard that the front EDSes that they fitted on the UDs were originally intended for side destos, maybe SMRT can fit those EDSes onto the existing SMRT bus fleets (0405, DAFs etc)'s side destos, then the current side desto move to the rear of the bus?
-_- just some random thoughts. The EDSes still seems to be working well despite it's age so......

What is jump bus?

Its a term coined by SBST drivers (as only SBST drivers does this) to denote that they drive different buses throughout their course of duty in a day. It is usually done at the terminating point where they change shift at. For split shift drivers sometimes they may jump bus at the depot, which means before their swing break they drive Bus A, then after the swing break they drive Bus B.This applies to only single depot services. However, not all single depot services do jump bus.
Official term is CLOB - Crew Layover On Bus.
Some examples of jump bus and their locations are:

3 S shifts from 92 dont jump as their duties are not required to do full route.Jump bus saves 1 bus per service. Amount that up SBST saves at least 25 buses overall.
