But when did 16 went over to AR?
As for the rest, do you know?
Originally posted by One Harmonius Blend:but then why the sudden change to give AR the control of 16?
I think it was because there were no timekeepers at the old Marine Parade terminal, just like the current Upp East Coast terminal. If I remember correctly all the other bus services that used to terminate there were also single depot controlled.
Do correct me if I am wrong.

Not sure when the ARBP started, but ARBP and BBDEP buses are interchangeable.

ok, but do you know how long 153 stayed under batok's control for how long, and 143 @ AMK?

But then St Mikes also has no time keeping what, so why under AM/BN instead of full BN?

Service 13 used to terminate at Eunos int in the past, Eunos route group was under HGDEP then (except 93). At that time 13 was under dual AMDEP/HGDEP, can't remember when it came under full AMDEP though.
Service 196 was all the while dual controlled, and was extended to Bedok on the day when Marine Parade terminal closed down.

After the closure of Marine Parade ter, 13 and 16 went under full amdep and arbp respectively. 16 Sep 2001.

Are you sure St Mikes has no time keeper?
Which service are you refering to? Be clear.

I am quite sure bndep still controlled 16 until Marine Parade terminal closed.

No more MK4 DM perm anymore after 16 became full ARBP control?

oh ya, now i recall a CAC Scania running on 16 long time ago.
Anyways, did 55 ever being controlled by BNDEP also? From what I know, 55 used to have OAC Scanias running as well.

Not all Marine Parade Services fell under BNDEP. For services like sv 13 & 76, it was all along AMDEP.
Most of the OAC Scanias that did 55 came from BNDEP. It was only then, small portions of OAC were depot xfered to AMDEP/ BRAM, when several of its NAC Scanias were converted to CAC and to improvise the standards of Air Con Services and at the same time converting some PAC services into FAC. (For example, Toa Payoh feeders would only use OAC or CAC Scanias, as the service was declared FAC)
If you realise back then, OAC Scanias were new to BNDEP and had done 3, 8, 66, 390. Service 8 was the first service to had square side destos with major destination listings.
When those OAC Scanias went to AMDEP/BRAM, those buses would appear on 155, 157, 231, 232, 235, 238, 410 together with CAC Scanias.

do u know what is time keeper?

since when 153 go to BBDEP? i dun think so. it was BRBP then go over to HGDEP.
No one know about how long Sv143 stay at AMDEP. SBST just happily switch the buses between AM/BR....

153 was all along AMDEP when the service used to terminate at Upper Searngoon Ter. It was only then it became HGDEP after the amendment of 153 to Hougang Ctrl.

Mean those VO2x perms for 153 were under HGDEP's property before being x-fered to SLBP to replace the LO2xs?

Ya. HGDEP do have VO2x under them & bus services like 107 , 132 , 153 , 165 & some Hougang feeders do have VO2x perms.
VO2x at that time were based at every SBST depot except Braddell i guess.
I remember seeing DAFs on 187 in 1997. Which 2 KJ 106 buses were sent to AM? i thought only 1037?
