  LATEST UPDATE

  Svc 920 & 922 will be transferred back to WLDEP with effect from 2/11/2008.

  There is a circular for all WLDEP SLs to undergo route familiarization training for next week.

  The rumour speculated by various bus fans of this matter is confirmed today. No joke.

  I don't think so. They all are now Woodlands Feeder Jump-Bus. Most likely Chinamen will be put on 920 and 922.
  Hope 970 and 700 goes back to WLDEP too. 970 KJDEP has been receiving loads of complaints.

  Lolx... I mean the permer = bus... 

  I think those ex-WLDEP 920 and 922 SLs, now they are happily driving their bendies at WRI feeders and earning the additional daily bendy allowance of $6. What's more it's nearer to WLDEP from WRI... Lolx..

  omg?! that's fast. how abt BPJ to KJDEP?

• nenepokey

  26 Oct 08, 18:29

  eh really lah. i think SMRT is doing some crappy stuff here. pushing the control of services from a depot to another like nobody's business. scarcely one day they push to AMDEP...highly impossible

  I hope other BPJ Int services don't get depot transfer, especially those which crossover to the feeder services.. Else no more stuns like last Tuesday when TIB1132D did the evening crossover to Service 920..

  I suspect mass redeployment on SMRT buses, apart from 920 and 922?

  Ouh the buses ah? I doubt it. TIB541M has Rexona ad, TIB725A is a 173 permer. TIB967T and TIB638T are happy being S Shift permers...
  I think those transferred CAC buses like TIB751Z, TIB763P, TIB782J, TIB840A may be perm. But im not confirming this!

  Service 700 and 970 is lucky to be under KJDEP where new Merc OC500LEs are introduced onto these services. If 700 and 970 are to remain under WLDEP they would't have gotten any Merc OC500LEs at all.

  That's what I think.

  That's kinda true. But for me, being a regular 970 commuter, I feel 970 service standards have deteriorated. Now, whenever you take a 970, most of the buses will jerk whenever the drivers please, its not the buses that are problematic. And also, 970, though it has those "amazing" crossovers, the frequency of the service still kinda sucks. So i think it would be better if they would just return 970 to WLDEP.
