  Suspect:

  SBS1985C
  (BN SP) - (BN 69)

  Been doing 1932E's timings since 1932E was de-reg. It was still on Sv 69 yesterday as well (30 Nov). 1926Z's not missing, and 9849K was also on. Didn't spot 9819Y though. So the thing is, Sv 69 usually has 4 non-WABs running or only 3? Because if it's 4 non-WABs, then might mean 8603J & 8662M were never perm 69 all along.

  
  SBS8248B
  (BN SP)  (BN 518)

  6249L's been missing from Sv 518 for quite some time, though I did spot 6249L a month ago on Sv 33. So means its not totally MIA, just missing from sv 518. 8248B has been on Sv 518 for at least a month+ already, but I need to wait till 03 Dec to confirm again in case 6249L returns.

  8667A has also been stuck on Sv 518 for the past few days though.

  BNDEP never update their perm stix for many months already, as you will know. So just check if there's 3 or 4 non-WABs on Sv 69 for the next few weekdays. If there's always 4 non-WABs, that means 1932E's replacement is 1985C, and that 8662M is likely still perm 8 but just like to do 69. Which might also mean 8603J was never perm 69.
  
  1932E's replacement is almost certainly a SD uh, not 9849K. There's 1 extra bus in 69 now it seems. Any KUBs missing? The B9TLs & B10TLs are on still right? Althogh I know 8517A went cameoing on Sv 8 a few days ago~

  SBS8049J is on 16 today. Should be perm now.

  While SBS6145C is on 272 today.

  BTW Think SBS5231T should be perm ARBP 123. Have been appearing on 123 frequentky in the past 1 week plus. SBS5129G have also been consistently on 123 since the transfer of Citaros to HGDEP as well.

• SMB189A

  I dun think TIB997G is perm 912 anymore.

  8049J is on sv16 ytd too. 6145C might be perm on 272, a swap.

  Hope that the adless citaros on sv16 wont go off though. The Euro Ivs isnt so good in handling the crowds in the evening back to bedok.

  So the replacement for 5129G is 8052Z from sv48?

  Can I ask out of curiosity, what made you say that the Euro IVs aren't good in handling the crowds during PM Peak? I thought they have greater standing space due to the wider aisle? Or is it because of the tight freq that the KUBs can't keep up? Just curious cause I thought the wider standing space on KUBs would make it easier.

  Just to add on to my previous post, 1985C's still on Sv 69 today as well (01 Dec).

  Theres the two areas when you enter the bus blocked out to put the luggage area. Yeah, that part kinda is blocky when some passengers stand there and refuse to move in. People have to squeeze past to stand at the wheelchair bays.

  It would be better to have euro Vs on it because there are more seats.

  Also for a euro Iv batch 1, there isnt a seat behind the driver's side. The freq isnt that consistent for 16 in the evening irregardless of the buses used. Haha.

  Can't confirm about this though as I have not seen SBS8052Z doing 95 for the past 1 week plus with its slot being done by SBS5131Z instead.

  Uh i get what you mean now after you highlight that to me, the part about the pax standing near the doors.  Guess it depends on services? The CGA-bound services the pax quite auto usually, they just move in to the rear. Guess they had enough of squeezing that they take their own initiative to move in instead. 
  
  HAHA, the freq part. Use Citaros will be slightly better for keeping to schedule IMO, just that the time gained will be lost again once the bus tries to load all the pax during peak into the narrow aisle.

  Actually the narrow aisle will make people stand in a single file. Maybe it is a good thing? Haha.

  Cause people squeezing behind you can be quite of a pain because they tend to bump onto others when the bus breaks and such.
