hopefully that happens, the number of DDs running (esp on weekends) can be further upped given the current loading.i have actually highlighted this to whoever needs to be highlighted coz it is quite sad to see paying passengers stand on a Scania during weekends when there are DDs in AMDEP not deployed[esp those from 55(DD fleet does not run at all, onli use scanias on sundays), 70(partial DD fleet used)]...

More DDs on 163 when 163 DDs prove to be a success should be used. Preferably LOs or VOs should do the trick.
In my honest opinion, I think that SBST should buy more WAB DDs to supplement the Wrights and the CDGEs that we already have. Seeing two s-shift perms on 70 and a DBBTM on 163 is pretty pathetic for services in need of more/better/newer DDs. Not to mention that 70/70M can go WAB pretty soon, given the slow-handedness of SBST so far. -

the thing is, u got to wait. the small little HGDEP is so busy assembling that many wrights now. in fact it can't do so many of them in 1 short. -

how much WAB DD you want SBST to buy now? Then what about the current VO3x or MK4? all deregistered immediately even though lifespan not yet reached? i alway see ppl say that sbst must buy new buses immediately to replace the old fleets, but the old fleets still have few years to go to reach their lifespan... so who is going to pay for the cost of the old buses if they are going to reregisted early by 3-5 years? and by extending the lifespan by 2 years help SBST to save on the depreciation cost as well.
maybe next time just tell LTA to limit the lifespan of the buses to 5 years will do, then SBST need to replace their fleets very fast, but who is going to pay for the cost of these buses unless the communters willing to pay much much higher fares...

What I mean by my above post is that the current fleet of VO3x/MK4/LO3x can be "eased" into less demanding routes, for example. Non-arterial routes can use more of these non-WAB buses, they do not have to be deregistered. On the other hand, I was proposing that more WAB SDs/DDs are added to the main arterial routes (i.e. heartland to CBD/East to West/North to South) and that SBST should be more detailed in surveying which services are in need of larger-capacity buses and then addressing the situation. If the WAB DDs do not come fast enough for routes like 163/70, LO3x/VO3x buses can be used to supplement the limited capacity.

so... which are the non-arterial routes? you are saying that SBST have not done any surveying before deciding on deploying the Wrights? just anyhow deploy?
which of below services does not deserve wrights?
5, 10, 17, 22, 30, 51, 60, 70, 87, 95, 99, 143, 147, 154, 165, 168, 174, 185, 197, 241,
there is only 150 wrights right now.. how do you want SBST to deploy them? 2 to each services instead? there is no where to go for the LO3x/VO3x. right now..most of the services are already stucked with LO3x/VO3x and there are lots of SP DDs right now.. for Sv70, it alraedy gotten more than 10 DDs... how much more you need? Full fleet DDs?

Suspect batch 2 is coming in and saw some wrights at BBDEP along PIE.
