Originally posted by SBS8501U:Actually this does not happn for the first time. I did remember in March when SBS8503P has been missing from Svc 54 for 2 to 3 months and random KUBs (mostly Euro V) are replacing its shift. The first week when this bus is is missing it's always SBS5100M which is replacing its time slot, and I almost thought it's perm 54. After which, random AMDEP SP buses such as SBS8832P and sometimes other perm 54 KUBs constantly replaces its shift everyday till the day when SBS8503P returned.
I guess this may apply to SBS8538P, whereby for this case SBS8483M replaces SBS8538P's shift and random KUBs keep on replacing SBS8483M's shift. The replacement KUB is usually a Euro V bus rather than a Euro IV bus and this may last for quite some time but not too long, hopefully SBS8538P will be back in 2 or 3 months time, if that is what I predicted happened.
I see I see. I've no idea why would they switch another Euro IV KUB on Sv 53 for 8538P though, the only reason would have been mileage.

I couldn't really figure out why SBST will want to do that unless the bus has happened to have broken down or involved in an accident or whatsoever. Those are the only few possibilities which I can deduce why the bus is being laid up for months.

Also SBS8538P not spotted on 410W but SBS8537S on 410W.
Originally posted by SBS7123J:If I did not see wrongly SBS6167P was on 273 yesterday.
For the past few weeks, the following buses are on 273:
6161, 6167 & 6243 (sometimes 6218 replace 6167)
I think they are more or less perm now.
6309 is perm split shift

Does 410 cut a bus on weekends? Check on weekdays more accurate usually though from what I observed for most services, cause the full fleet will be out usually.

I wonder whether the FANCL ad on 6161 have been expired or removed.

Or SBS8538P becoming Non-User Lay-Up Status? But if that is the case why is it laid up for, since in this typical occasion this bus appears in NONE OF THE SERVICES?

That ad's expired already btw. 5079S with the same ad has it removed. just not sure if 6161E's ad is removed already or not.

Idk if you were lost in my words or you misinterpreted my previous posts, but I did say 8538P has been stuck on Sv 53 for at least 2 months. At least on weekdays it's on Sv 53. So not sure where you deduced it went laid-up. Or did I misinterprete your post? ![]()

8038R 8040H are on sv16 today. 8049J from sv273 might also be out but it is not seen on sv16 but it cameoed on other AR services. Any changes to the fleet on sv272?
I think there are some changes in buses to the 3 feeders in Bukit merah.

heard 8079 got 313 advert, so that one confirm perm 16. on another occasion i saw 8127 on 16 too. i think just see the 272 273 fleet then know how the swap came about.

Oh, think I've really misinterpreted, sorry!
But is it possible if SBS8538P has replaced SBS8164J's shift? To replace the missing bus?

I don't think it's directly replacing 8164J's timing though. I need to check again for the latest update, but as of last week I observed, 8164J's still on its usual timing most of the weekdays. 8538P's like replacing another Euro V's timings, then gets shuffled around.
I don't think 8164J's out yet though, but first i need to find 8538P soon. Which has been missing (8538P) from the usual timing I spotted lately on Sv 53. Shall try again these few days.
8127S on 16 ytd. Another perm 272 bus.

Wasn't this what I've been trying to imply over the past couple of posts with users '8501U', '6301T' & '6078M'? HAHA.
And I spotted 8538P on Sv 53 as well today. I can even tell you that it's the 1153 bus at Blk 210 PSR Dr 1 towards CGA for the past couple of days & weeks. Stuck on that timing for ages already.
When was there a missing bus in the 1st place? 8164J like what 'SBS 6078 M' said? I'm not doubting his words, but it seems to me that it's weird that I still spot 8164J on its usual timings? So I don't think that bus's out yet. Why I say so too?
8538P I checked today. There's no perm stix on the bus at all. None on the coinbox, BC cabin, window or elsewhere. None. 8538P seems more like SP now instead. Cause IIRC it did have a 410 perm stix a few months ago when it did the 5060U x-over from 410 to 53 during peak hours.![]()
