It seems that SBS8111L is doing training duty nowadays instead of doing any services…

SBS 8039 M and/or SBS 8073 M also.. wonder if its based at bbdep or back at hgdep or elsewhere...?

spotted the difference of rear EDS of SBS8200M and SBS8477G.(both perm 157)

for 8200M the font size is bolder but 8477G font is thinner.

and, 8050D(perm 185) had CCTV installed after it has been released on the road. i guess all 80xx series will have CCTVs installed in future, or installed alrdy.

8363/8365/8366 were all spotted turning into AMDEP at around 8pm earlier, driven by BCs, EDS showing SBSTransit. Not sure whether they are being deployed today or just went for some familiarsation?

if is 99, i would say this service requires more DD than SD. B9TLs suits with 99.

Buses can park at AMDEP before shifting to BRBP. Reason being that BRBP may not have enough parking space hence AMDEP, which is larger, can have these buses for a short period of time before sending them to BRBP after they have cleared their space.

New K230s... definitely not good news... but oh well, they short of buses (especially BRBP).

Later they target Bishan again... and they target those Bishan ones that passby TPY... die liao die liao...

Highly not. Notice that whenever redeployment exercises occur, it is due to AMDEP having to clear up space (i.e. When the number of buses under its charge reach over 803~806). Right now, AMDEP has been clearing up alot of their Mercs for lay-up and de-registration, so it's space should be slightly more than 760 currently. It needs to take in at least 40 to 45 KUBs before they have no choice but to clear space again. And that's if they don't lay-up anymore Mercs.
