SBS8030L too =P.

Anyway, also hope that HGDEP can x-fer some of the MK4 DMs to SLBP and lastly, 157 and 334 can become next WAB services.

If I am not mistaken SBS8030L ever did cameos before like services 105 and 157. Same for SBS8031J which cameo on service 5 once.

But not for SBS997A and SBS1688K, as well as SMRT's SMB135E.

I remembered SMB1H which solely did service 190/300 for a start, but began to run around other services when more OC500LEs were added into the fleet.

1688 did quite a number of HG services before.

SBST will scrap off all MKIIIs and LOs as well as VO2Xs.Replace them with new buses.

SMRT will scrap off all UDs and Elbos soon.UMW Lance sold to NZ or Australia.Sold some Box bendy also to replace with WAB bendys.

AMDEP to take 171 back as full control and dual control 851 with WLDEP instead together with minority control of 856 & 857.965 give all to WLDEP.980 become minority control for AMDEP.

KJDEP to take full control of 106 and give back 75,184 & 700 to WLDEP.852 can dual control with WLDEP.KJ to take back 61 & 173 duties from WLDEP.Also hopes that they will get new depot.

PA Lances and bus plus buses to permanently park @ Lor 1 instead of depots.

167,173,187,855,911,961,970 to become WAB services

GLBP should take partial responsibility for routes 61, 67, 853, 854, 961, 966, 969, 980 & 985.

167 & 961 WAB status is overdue. These are high-demand routes plying the CBD.

What about 190 & 851? Are these WAB yet?

A bit hard for 167. The number of OCs on the service has been reduced from 5 to 2.

Lor 1 is unlike last time where every night all the CSS buses park there.Now SMRT only lease part of it,Another part is all day public parking.How on earth 61,67,854,969 bendys can park there??Another thing a lot of Taxis refuel there also beside Bus Plus buses.Unless they full lease to convert it into bus park.AFAIK only 70 buses can park there.I was thinking that all the PA Lances and bus plus buses park there.At least can make some room for all SMRT depots

Saw TIB918K and TIB935K on service 167 today. Those lances had been returning lately... 2nd time whereby the OC500LEs are removed from 167 for whatever reasons

Yeah... Hopefully some of the Volvo MK3s go off together with the remaining 0405s that SBST had, when the next 200 Euro 5 K230UBs comes into service. As for the Euro 5 Volvo B9TLs, I wonder which DDs will go off - LO3x first or VO2x?

For SMRT, all the Nissan UDs will definitely go off in the 1st half of this year for sure when the lifespan ends. Not sure for the ELBOs, depending on the SMRT. Feel that the UMW Lances should be taken off too when the 66 new Merc Citaros comes into service.

No, 171 should stay under WL's control, as for 851,854, it should only go over until the whole of batok has gone under KJ s control, as for 851, i'd believe it would be more of a centralized location for both sides

173 will stay where it is, no change

No point 171 under WL.Off Service to Marina Ctr is further than AMDEP.Or at least WLDEP can have full control 167,882 and AMDEP minority control 980 for Lor 1 side then Yishun can have majority control for 171,857.856 minority AM control for Yis side towards WDL.852 partial with KJ.75,184 @ 700 can transfer back to WL in return for 61 @ 173.178 can let KJ minority control for BNL side towards WDL.

my wish is simple (not simple for SMRT )

just keep the buses in very good condition (not like the current unrefrebised WA scanias )

My wishes is LTA approve another bus company to share the current or create new bus service and see more double decker buses on the road.

856 no, WL-Yishun isn't really that far, about 5-10 minutes drive

a no-no for 178,852 though, and a bigger no-no for 75,184,700 to go under WL's control though. Kranji is near, and i see no need for them to cross over to somewhere far though

sv960 is gd enuff for WL

if AM controls 960, will they have enuff buses for themselves

WL has so many SP buses compared to KJ n AM

you are right, but if that's the case, what are the 27 SPs lying there @ AM?

and the SPs there are on par with WL though

163 take over by SMRT, then extend route to Punggol.

SBS 9888 Y perm on sv410.

SBST buy 500 more B9TLs.

Sv23 and 166 with full B9TL fleet.

SMRT buy 500 OC500LE.

SMRT exchange all bendies with new ones, 851 with full new bendy fleet.

No way, since Pungool/TPY are governed by SBST.

Well, WDL and YIS controlled by SBST and Jurong East/Clementi controlled by SMRT-Make 173 into 2 directional service.

Interesting to see B9, KUB on 187 in the future
