  What do bus enthusiasts do besides spotting buses?

  What are the proportion of bus enthusiasts that work in the transport sector? Be it public or private, LTA, SMRT, SBS, Comfort , etc etc

  800 most probably kope 854 A24 replace one of the O405G,302,812 & 975 can declared WAB already,960 need to replace 10 O405Gs to 10 A95s..962 can replace 1 O405G to A95 or E500..

  By 2017, all SMRT NWAB rigids, all Smiley bendy and most of the Habit buses have retired..
  
  Assuming that
  - The fleet remains the same as of current
  - All NWAB retired buses are replaced by WAB buses
  - Majority of the fleet is WAB, hence a WAB service
  - Services under GCM have been taken over by respective operators
  
  We've left with

  If Sungei Seletar include Yishun and it won by other operators then dont need to wait until 2018,They can jolly well retired those NWAB earlier despite the refurbishment.

  962 is relatively alright.. Unsure whether there's any A24 deployed.. So far I've only seen SMB8002C on 913..
  
  960 is disastrous. You still can afford get 4 NWAB buses back to back (with 10+ mins between each other) and thereafter one WAB loner.

  960 might be waiting for the new A95 to replace a few of those O405Gs.962 might be getting a couple of DDs.800 still waiting for A24,812 no problem but those 1 O405G should be exchange with A24.302 and 975 no problem.

  There are even NWAB cameos on 960 today, 985R being one of them.

  How on earth they want to declare WAB on 800,903,912 & 913?Buy more A24s or simply kick out the O405Gs with more A22s and deploy more BCs?So svc like 912 will use 16 A22s and 3 A24s in future?

  Confirm they will 'steal' those with A24 and have got WAB status. Confirm 811 bus will kena, 302 also may kena also. All those Woodlands feeder wont get 100% WAB confirm, i think they just wanna meet quota with A24 n A22s. DD also not enough, A22 i doubt got enough spare to give to these 3 woodlands svc
