  SBS 8068D
  (ARBP SP  ARBP 63)

  SBS 8150Z
  (ARBP 63  ARBP SP)

  Very obvious where the SP would land up.

  Think SBS8140C on BBDEP 165 will get redeployed soon. Also need to look out for HGDEP's SBS8078A, SBS8079Y and SBS8081P.

  Hopefully after this swopping exercise all those Scania K230UBs will start to settle down on the bus services around these 2 depots.

  You think too much.

  SBS8079Y will be perm on your favourite service 163.

  Anyone has any idea when SBS2835X left Sv156? Any bus replacing or fleet reduction?

  Some things doesn't need to take effect immediately by just saying . HGDEP will deploy the more spare K230 into your favourite service 163. Take it easy.

  just wondering will 123 permers SBS8433H and SBS8434E be affected by the depot transfers? Especially when both buses are getting their new ads recently

  Dont understand why he is so desperate when SBST bought 500 units of them and since Service 163 has already got perms, then there will certainly be more units of them out.

  They are not affected at all. SBS8140C (BB 165) got ad.

  2835X because of fleet reduction of 1 S shift. 8080S replaces 2662C.

  Sigh. The frequency is so bad already, and they still remove one S shift. Wished they removed a strider instead of SBS2835X. Anyway, thank you for the information.

  I rather they take out the MK3. SBS2835X happen to be adless.

  I absolutely concur. As a 156 regular, I'm not the at all pleased with the frequency. Its a common occurence that people at RI/Bishan MRT are unable to board as the bus is fully packed to the brim. Shall call in soon.

  Oh yea. The MK3 are quite bad in terms of seat pitch. But performance is quite good. In my opinion SBS582M is quite good. It's either they take out a MK3 or a noisy Strider, thats what i would like.

  If you notice, most of the buses being swapped around HG and BB are adless... maybe with the exception of 932L that has that skyliner thing.

  Yes. I have been using Sv156 8 years already, and the frequency has been getting worse all along. I am not too concerned with the load, but more of the frequency. I always take in the direction opposite to the peak direction. Towards Clementi, on weekdays PM peak, the waiting time is about 20mins. That is really pathetic. Now with the new time table, if I remember correctly, waiting time can be up to 22mins. Yet their table shows a max waiting time of 20mins.

  i've heard friends of my school saying that they missed a 156 and the next bus is 45mins later...

  I don't see any 22mins leh. Whichever the case, as I have been relying on 156 for >6 years, I can affirmatively agree that the frequency is really atrocious. I guess the heavy loading ultimately stems from the unearthly frequencies. The bus can be fully packed anytime in the afternoon, from dismissal times, right up to the evenings. Right now, I am compiling all the trips with bursting loads and shall reflect to SBST in due time.
