What is the difference between Bus park and Bus depot? I understand that ARBP is a bus park because it is so small and without much facilities...But SLBP is the OCC for west district and yet it is call a bus park? It can park way more buses than ARBP, it also has refueling stations, workshops etc....
I hope they can build more multi-storey depot...
Soon Lee is a full fledged depot with maintenance facilities. bram and arbp are satellite depots with no maintenance facilities.
Its simply an issue of the name, nothing else.

In other words Arbp and Brbp only do minor maintenance and tyre changes and for overhauling and major repairs they go to BBdep and Amdep respectively

Just curious, why is SBST 'required' to provide ultra-low demand services like 191, 84 etc but SMRT isnt 'required' to provide a service to the Kranji farms?

191, 84 can be considered low demand, but definately not ultra-low. Most of the time, there's still at least a few pax onboard. This is the same as 882.
As for the kranji farms, most of the passengers onboard the shuttle are just the staff working at the farms. Would it be justifiable for the rest of the commuters to subsidise the cost of running an additional service there? And no, tax money does not go into public transport, at least until the 1.1billion is poured in.
Last of all, extending 925 or 975 is not an option, as the roads there are too narrow to drive a 12m long 2.5m wide bus safely.

So by the last sentence you mentioned, 925 & 975 cannot use bendies as well?
-
Are there any lifespan extension of a year or two for older buses like Mercedes-Benz OF1417, Volvo B57, Mercedes-Benz O305 & Leyland Altantean?
-
Izzit possible for a BC to be so tired it drives the wrong way? For example a 965 BC drove onto CTE instead of TPE, realised it, and turned to the YCK Rd exit to get back on TPE via Seletar Camp?

No extension for those buses for that era. They were deregistered once reached 12 years lifespan.

Have you seen a bendy doing a 3 point turn on a 2 lane road?

The Atlanteans and O.305s had 15 year lifespans. The LO2xes also had 15 year lifespans, but were given extensions. -

975 does a 3 point turn at PCG/LCK road end. Would a bendy be able to do that? Even a 5 ton with trailer has problems there.
-
My god.
Who actually organised a tour to that road with a bendy??
I'm sorry.
But that was extremely unimpressive to watch.

Ho ho ho. Do your know that Sth Buona Vista Rd has weight restriction imposed on vehicles? 200 is spared as it's scheduled sv. -

Works would have to be carried out at Lim chu kang road end for a bendy to do a u-turn.
