  only the management knows......

  But i still feel having a mixture of DDs and SDs is a more effective solution over a full fleet of SDs.

  i tink cl2 means buy more SDs over DDs...
  but look around you, weekends on sv7, sv174, can SDs handle the load?
  Dun even talk about weekdays...
  In HK, most buses DDs, if you dun board the 1st one, the second appears... sv112[North Point > So Uk]

  SD are not abt easy to deploy

  imagine the high demand rts like 74, 147, 179, how are they going to be using a sizeable fleet of SDs?

  end of e day, capacity also matters

  SBST mentioned that DD only cater to a certain time with high loading. SD is more flexible and can meet the 10mins freq. DD are precious now.

  This is why at the same time when they are buying many SD and there are many new BC.

  Based on my observations the bus services in HK are either full DD or full SD fleets on a particular bus route. There are even DDs deployed on airport routes too. Also to mention that some bus routes are PAC status with AC and NAC DD fleets. Same for bus services in London and Paris, either full DD, full bendy or full rigid SD fleets on a particular bus route.

  Unlike Singapore bus routes which have a mixture of DD and SDs (SBST) or rigids and bendies (SMRT).

  A11, A12, A21, A22 are full DDs, so is E21, E22, E33, E34
  A10 is SD coz it serves Aberdeen and its low dd,
  SDs for svcs like citybus 12A,12C,25, in HK as mentioned is to improve the frequency of the bus route so that pax do not need to wait long and no any other reason. Other than that, its ADD 

  Bro, [have you been to Paris? if nt, do not comment]Paris has no DDs for city service routes only SDs, demand for bus travel in Paris is low due to the many rail links in paris centre itself

  But, TIB565U dun have the 'caution' sign on the back.

  Even though TIB525K nvr do TRG anymore, it sill got the 'caution' sign

  And, TIB565U is similiar as TIB1178Y, onli operates on its own perm service during AM peak, PM shift do other WL services. Unless it is taking over anyone of the A/P shifts or full day shifts.

  I thought TIB565U always like that de? Cos it will always do 966 in the morning for sure. Then, afternoon its either TRG or SP .

  TIB525K is still a TRG bus, but it did lesser on the slot.

  Maybe I wasn't clear enough in the post I made. Yup, I just been to Paris and there are open top DDs used on city sightseeing tour buses so far. Basic routes are mainly bendy or rigid fleets. London has DDs, SDs and bendies serving on basic routes.

  Huh? 565U will confirm do 966 in AM shift and also the E Shift on Sunday. There's no signs of it becoming TRG or SP.
