Well, it is normal to see all sorts of buses on all sorets of routes. Unless drivers were assigned certain shifts, and the same bus. ie. the smaller operations. But it is not unusual to see buses on all sorts of routes.Originally posted by SBS9816E:Hmm, it seems that SBST likes to shuffle buses on different svcs.
Tibs does it big time. They always shuffle buses around, especially for Bendy Buses. Look out for HUGE changes compared to weekdays on Sat and Sun/PH.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Its normal , Tibs do bus shuffling at times too .
I agree with you fully, since I stay in a TIBS controlled area. Well, I think the most well known shuffle is that plenty of the Older Hispano Bendys ( TIB 8XX ) are deployed on service 857 on sundays and ph. Anyone have an idea where these come from? My guess is that they came mainly from service 964, especially that one with the Energizer ad had appeared many times. The pinninfarinas are mainly deployed to 857 in 1s or 2s on Saturdays or eves of ph.Originally posted by off_service:Tibs does it big time.

Normally, service 859 would get different Bendy buses that it will usually get, occasionally MB O405G or the newer Habit buses (TIB 12xx, I saw TIB 1230 D this past Sun on 859, and TIB 1233 X weeks ago).Originally posted by TIB1186Z:I agree with you fully, since I stay in a TIBS controlled area.

Moreover, some of the Dennis Lance 211s on 852 are transferred to Service 854 on weekends.
For the feeder services in Yishun, the Bendys on service 806 on Sundays and ph- TIB 1160Y TIB 1163 P TIB 1164L TIB 1176Z are normally found serving 800 and 812 on Sundays.
Anyone knows of more shuffles in the TIBS fleet in the North zone?
Yes, feeder 231 is using alot of O405 WA currently.Originally posted by xin1jun2:this one is on the aftermath of 291 losing its VOs and 222 losing its VO2xs.
i've been starting to ahng around bedok and tampines nowadays. i have noticed soemthing.
the VOs on svc 222 have been replaced by some scania OACs namely 72, 78 , 79 , 80
The VOs on 291 have been replaced by serveal toa payoh scania feeder buses. noticibaly 3674 from former 28.
even 293 has changed somehwat. i did not see the normal 3618 or 3633 3634 3631 or even the 3587 3582s. they have been replaced by more toa payoh fedder buses like 3659 and 3654 that used to serve 231.

What?! I never knew that services 3 & 19 used MK2 buses!Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Btw the mark 2 on bus 19 and 3 has disappeared , i wonder where they went to . The scania buses replaced them .
Service 3 used non airconditioned MK2 Walter Alexander before. As for service 19, I think it is the same as service 3, MK2 WA.Originally posted by tranquilice:What?! I never knew that services 3 & 19 used MK2 buses!
In the east area, I only knew service 354 used MK2 before converting to Scania.Originally posted by off_service:Service 3 used non airconditioned MK2 Walter Alexander before. As for service 19, I think it is the same as service 3, MK2 WA.
