  As long the full trip fare is more than $0.90 (for now), it is not considered as a feeder service... =)

  Lol I knew that someday this would happen. Having taken 8455U for quite a number of times, it's acceleration is too powerful for some BCs to handle (Soon Lee tuned up its gearbox so that it can run better on the PIE). The last time I took 8455U, around 1 and half months ago, it almost hit 4 cars at 4 different points, Thomson Rd, PIE, Clementi Rd and Commonwealth Ave West.

  Bah anyway...

  Now I see the trend. Once the Merz ad expires a KUB will replace it (only on Services with Merz and KUB)?

  Precisely, same for service 156 and 163's Volvo fleets too. Notice that the recent Scania K230UB fleet additions affected only those Volvo MK3/MK4s without any ads or being expired (except SBS1688K ).

  Its all along about advertisement contract. They will take out buses whose ads have expired. I think for 401C's case the next range of laid up buses under amdep happens to be them..

  To date, 1/2 of the merc WA & DM OAC spares came from ex-AM/BR. There are 38 SP merc in SL.

  Wa..  about 56 SP mercz in SLBP ! This is getting more and more exciting. Now I really dun  think it is just a replacement job.. BTW, happy to see SBS 290E come over plus buses with Sutrak A/C! Pls, less fuji OAC from AMDEP. Their A/C got no power one.

  Very obviously that AMDEP wants to take in more Scanias. Estimated it's parking space together with BRBP is around 820 at the max, so they got to clear older spare buses if they need to take in the newer ones.

  Having said that, it's very likely spare Volvos kicked out from 162 might just go over BNDEP. =D

  Now I know why people like Scania likes to shoot at you.
