  Later he told me that he actually didn't see the service plate, but he is 99.9% sure it's 133, cos only 133 turns from AMK Ave 6 to Ave 1(?). The 0.01% is reserved for an off service bus with all lights on.

  Oh great. Where's VSO for service 22 and why there's no VSO for 166 when the load factor is MUCH higher than that of 133?

  Hey guys,
  
  SBS 9847 R is officially on the road serving service 161.

  Ok so this is the latest update
  
  9835-9838 is bus 70
  9839 - 9841 is bus 133 .
  
  Not too sure about the rest . I suspect some of them will be evenly distributed to 22 , 168 and 161 .
  
  Any thoughts ?

  Erm I don't think that all the VSOs are based on AMK Depot as some of the VSOs are based at Braddell Depot.

  Hi guys,
  
  It is confirmed that Woodlands SBST services will be using VSO, with SBS 9849 on 168. I guess the remaining six buses (i.e. 9844-9849) will be with 161 and 168.
  
  What do u guys think?

  Those buses can be deployed on other services during off peak hours.
  
  If only the UD was repainted.. Imagine an SBS U31SCN and a Tibs U31RCN parked side by side - spectacular! Different models but exactly same bodywork!

  The buses may be serving 161 and 168 whole day after some MK4 DM3500 are taken off the services.

  9842 went off service in morning but went back in service with 161 in afternoon . 9849 went off service in morning and the bus operated on bus 76 in the afternoon . I think 9849 will be back with 168 tomorrow .
