  wah nice. I think the 3XX series will continue... its just a small amount in the 200 MANs SMRT purchased that will be under BSEP. in the future SMRT will buy more buses under BSEP

  It could be possible that the regos are swopped in order to let the BSEP buses be on the day of BSEP introduction, like eg.:

  SMB 3I3 H     SMB 300I M
  SMB 3I4 E     SMB 3002 K

  Not officially registered yet, possibly the regos could have gone to 33x series already.

  on what basis you suspect? if you look at the rego sequence, 3008-3012 should be KJDEP.. 3013 is AMDEP... i am waiting to see whether the windscreen of this 3013 will crack or not..

  301S should be out of 169, since 770T returned to 169.

  New bus routes doesn't warrant higher capacity buses for the moment, unless the demand is going to be very high as the time passes.

  They always introduce single deckers to test the route first. If the demand is too low, they migh even withdraw that service, before introducing higher capacity buses.

  And this route doesn't warrant higher capacity buses, it only needs better frequencies.

  madness ... this route really need a lot of buses, 6 MAN is woefully inadequate, at least 6 bendies will be better, this is a really high demand route anyway

  You are only assuming. There are other bus services around the area for their share of commuters. This 860 is just a supplement route on top of the feeder services in Yishun. Other than peak hours and after school hours, the demand will not be very high. Just look at the feeders during off peak. Thus it don't need high capacity buses for the moment. But I agree 6 buses might not be enough, thus adding 2 more MAN buses will be better.

  Don't need 6 bendy buses for the route. It will make the situation inside and outside Yishun interchange much worse.
