  For SMRT: Early retire the 29 Hispano Carrocera MK2 (Hispano Citaro) bendies and replace them with 20 A24s and 30 A95s for fleet expansion and replacement.

  Convert 180 to WAB with full AP WAB bendy fleet, give 176 and 188 a 1 for 1 replacement from Bendy to DD (including 188's A24s), 858 can get 2 more bendies and remove 3-4 rigids, the remaining A24s to be deployed on feeders. 187 can convert 3-4 rigids to high floor bendies for peak hour

  972 to remove 3 S1 DDs and give them to 190, replacing 3 A22 rigids, convert all 4 Svc 190 bendy slots to A95.

  190 will be going over to TT in two months.

  190 is not under Tower Transit, I think you mean 106 as 106 is under Bulim Package.

  Restoring the balance between DDs and SDs for Loyang:

  Currently, the required number of DDs is about half that of SDs.

  DDs: 160 (excluding 10% spare), 180 (including 10% spare & upgrades)

  SDs: 177 (excluding 10% spare), 195 (including 10% spare)

  2: 25 DDs

  3: 9 DDs, 9 SDs

  6: 5 DDs, 2 SDs

  12: 26 DDs

  15: 22 SDs

  17: 9 DDs, 3 SDs

  34: 10 SDs + 6 SDs peak hour crossover from 43

  36: 19 SDs

  43: 21 DDs (14 split shift), 8 SDs (6 peak hour crossover to 34)

  43M: 3 DDs, 3 SDs

  62: 12 DDs, 7 SDs

  68: (Punggol to city): 16 DDs, 4 SDs

  82: 2 DDs, 7 SDs

  83: 8 SDs

  84: 2 SDs

  85: 6 DDs, 8 SDs

  118: 15 DDs

  119: 1 DD, 8 SDs

  136: 2 DD, 15 SDs

  354: 4 SDs

  358: 8 SDs

  359: 10 SDs

  382: 6 SDs

  386: 4 SDs, 2 DDs

  403: 4 SDs

  518: 4 DDs, 7 SDs

  Service 3, 17, had fleet size reduced due to bunching.

  Service 119 had 1 DD downgraded to SD.

  The extra spare DDs are meant for cameo upgrades.

  Suggestion: New Townlink 383 at Punggol Interchange:

  East Loop: Punggol - Edgedale Plains (Loop)

  West Loop: Punggol - Punggol Walk (Loop)

   

  • Punggol Walk roundabout has quite a number of flats under construction, as shown on Google Maps as of June 2015. It is quite a walk from the nearest bus stop (43/43M, 117, 118)
  • Punggol Dr is only served by LRT currently. There are many flats along the way. Even if all buses on a feeder service break down at once, e-pull is still possible. But, is it possible on LRT?
  • Edgedale Plains roundabout is not served by any bus service currently. Same case as Punggol Walk (see above).

  The sector loading patterns on 43 already makes DD optimisation difficult.

  Confession:

  In my 'Restoring the balance between SDs and DDs' post above, some unnecessary DDs were kept on services like 119 just for the sake of balancing the number of SDs and DDs. Service 3 also had many upgrades and 2 SD fleet cuts for the same reason.

  However, I think that the DDs on 82 would be useful. Full fleet SD on Sundays though, with all perm SDs operating on Sundays.

  Also, GAG will not get any A22s, so some of the upgrades will be useful.
