From my observation, for services with small fleet of OC, the buses sometimes operate on different shifts.

I think there is a problem for 945 to deploy OC, cus every peak hour the people have no where to seat and squeeze like hell at the wheelchair area, i notice that when it try to negociate a turn, the bus at the opposite lane have to stop for OC to turn (while the normal DAF doesnt have this problem) is OC turning difficult ?

Agree for service 167's case. Though service 167 is a dual depot control but around 68% of the fleet are under WLDEP which has zero OC500LEs.But if is to deploy OC500LEs to service 980 it will be more ideal instead, as AMDEP controls 84% of the service 980 fleet (11 out of 13 buses) during the weekdays. Unless SMRT do not have any intention to introduce any OC500LEs to service 980.
Let me tell you what had happened to SMB46D and SMB47B.
AMDEP have redeployed both of them back to SP again. Their slots are replaced with their ex-perms TIB918K (advertiser complaint) and TIB920C. These two buses have ads but TIB918K's advertising contract just started a few weeks before SMB47B became perm. They redeployed the OCs out just to 'give chance' for other BCs from other Services to try them out.
Although it had lost it's OC perms for the moment, there are OCs cameoing on 167S154. (perm bus TIB916R). For Sv 980, it may be possible but didn't see any OCs this past month. I was hoping it would do the S15x slot that cross to 859 in the morning (perm bus TIB919H).
Other OC infomation:
The next 66 buses would be out in a few months time. (Expected Date: June)

This week the 3 perm OC500LEs on service 854 are doing AP 01, 02 and 03 duties respectively. It was confirmed that all the 3 OC500LEs were not in service yesterday, all replaced by MB0405 cameos. TIB436J was one of them. All these based on my observations.For today SMB31X and SMB32T is back to service 854, whereas SMB30Z is being cameoed by TIB928G.

No wonder yesterday 34M, 36H and 47B were on different timings while the 2 mentioned Lances were back on old slot.
I don't think this matter is so simple? If not they can just replace the other AMDEP buses with the OCs. -

The AMDEP OC deployments for the last 2 weeks quite messy. The buses are simply cameoing around.

I noticed that many OC500LEs, if not all, have the "brick pattern" cleaned off.

I think so too. Saw SMB30Z back to service 854 today, it's "brick pattern" back had been partially cleaned off, compared to last time when it was very dusty and clearly visible. Think that might be the reason why all the OC500LEs MIA from service 854 on Monday.Another solution is to put up full body ads on the OC500LE buses
