Questions about S'pore buses? Post them here! (Part VII)
-
OC are replacing the BSEP slots of all the AMDEP service that went to KJDEP.
-
Is the break of a driver is dependent of the freq of the bus example 190 freq 3 mins on peak hour meaning SL only rest for 3 mins before moving off for their next trip?
963R 188R SL rest for 30 mins before moving off for their trip

I don't think so... Even if frequency 03 mins, the BC will rest for at least 15-20 mins... that means either have to jump bus or CCK Int need to have 6 slots reserved for 190... And I think it does have at least 5 slots for 190 from what I have seen... could have even 7... but someone needs to confirm.

What happened to the proposed Jurong East ITH? The last time I checked, the bus interchange will be built with Westgate.

For 190 maybe different, for a normal trunk service it would be 10-15 mins. 969 is 7 mins coz its runtime is only 60 mins, 965 is 10 coz runtime is 90 mins, 858 is 15 i think. Feeders takes around 20 mins break. Maybe the shorter the runtime, the shorter the SL will rest?

Quite a recent article had made a mention of the integrated bus interchange, which is coming up next to the Jurong East interchange.

I asked because I though you guys know the photo rules.

The bus interchange will begin construction soon, but it may not be completely integrated as previously hoped. The location will be exactly where the old interchange was, and is now the grass field enclosed by the new road that was recently opened.

So there is no faster way to AMK ITE from Tampines beside 72?

There is this "Bus Deployment Checker" app page on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/permBus/).
I would like to know, is this fan-made or is the information from reliable sources?
-
This is slightly off-topic, but ...
Does anyone know if the "Singapore Public Transport Guide" published by SCIP MAP is still in print? I got the 2014-2015 version (updated May 2014) from Popular @ Bras Basah. Have not seen newer versions ever since.

Recently I have been looking for it in many popular book shops but still cannot find... This is actually a very good map. Now I only see Mighty Minds maps in Popular, which honestly is worse than the one that you posted.

I wonder why is Amdep taking so long to deploy a few DDs on 851?I knew some of the BCs already DD trained.During OTs or off day they even drove svc 854/857 just to get extra allowance.A few of Amdep BCs driving svc 61,67 and even 961 can drive DD too.Kjdep/Wlbp can just transfer out 2 DDs for 851.

I won't exactly say it's worse. The Mighty Minds street directory standalone is still decently useful for users more accustomed to hardcopy maps. But using the bus guide and referring back and forth with the map is tiresome.
The SCIP MAP directory, on the other hand, is very useful at giving visual information about buses at bus stops, though the maps are not aligned to grids and zoomed in on specific towns (could be good or bad). What's infuriating is the quality of their paper and cover - I had once accidentally spilled some water over an old version, and the thing came apart fairly quickly in the weeks after.

Anyways I checked

Q: If a bus wore pants, would he wear them like this
or like this?

I notice there are two different background colours - yellow and white - used in the license plates of SBS Transit buses. Does anyone know why two different colours are used?
