Then it should be de-registered already...so unfortunate.
But I'm asking this just because nobody mentions about SBS8031J's de-registration.

That is because the MK3s are de-registering and the trainees need replacement buses for those withdrawn buses and that's...Citaros!
Originally posted by Spanish hog:58 really siao eh, keep on + + + DD till i wonder is peak period business really so booming? Ironically, their off peak is bo seng li until worse than 42
Yeah, I'm wondering too. It seems like the peak loads are only between Tai Seng and the Ubi Industrial Estate, and from Kaki Bukit to Pasir Ris. The rest of the segments with a SD also got plenty of seats left.
Actually I'd much rather they improve the frequency of 58 then upsizing the fleet. With freq of up to 20mins it makes a huge difference to the travel time. Then again, with such a small customer base it doesn't make sense to improve frequency also.
I guess any form of improvement is good lah. Cannot hiam too much hahaha.

in sept, i sat at the busstop along ubi ave 3 to see how 58's load like.
okay lah, it seems the workers there are happier waiting longer + confirmed seat to get home. ![]()
Seriously 58's freq is ok, rather they dispatch ADD than add shifts.

citaros are only meant for driver familiarisation purposes. some volvo mk4s will be pushed to perm TRG.

SBS778R and SBS807R are not perm 40 and 32 respectively. They are still running around as spare buses.

887J seems to freq 62 indeed, maybe replace 814U?
9421K is same ad as 9592 so if both perm 62 seems queer. But one thing is, it looks like SBS9504E has been on 62 for many days. Often seen a ribena batch 2 which i guess is 9504. Thus that is a questionable one.

most likely KUB go into Sv22...... there should be also one KUB going to Sv124 to replace 910A.

Thanks for the confirmation. That means 2620Z is the one that went in 32 together with 1934A instead. ![]()
Anyway, by logic deduction, 1898X might have went in 40 instead. Need to observe first.
And i thought someone posted 2725E was perm 135 before it came over to BNDEP? So means 135 lost another bus?

976k is still perm Sv70 right? think they can send back 1901/1913 as well

Sooner or later most of the ex-BNDEP Mk4s that went to AMDEP would came back to BNDEP to cover for the laid-up Mk3s. ![]()

both 994/2725 are not perm Sv135 in the first place... should be some perm buses of Sv135 undergoing some maintainance or what that why 2725/994 are stuck on Sv135 for some time... the e-timetable still show that Sv135 got only 3 non-wab buses which is 899/967/977..

yes... now 882/902/904/908/910/988/2725 go over... there should be 2 more going back , because last time BNDEP transfer 9 MK 4 over when the O405 are deregistered... further, MK 4 cant be deployed on quite a number of services in AMDEP... kinda restricted..
