  There's only 1 Citaro without rego plates in BNDEP so far (like I had posted previously), and since 'lemon1974' said its likely for BSEP, and 359 is the only BNDEP service affected in this round, no prize guessing what 359 will get..its like almost definite.

  Cause 359 there's a stretch along Coral Sec that is very difficult to turn from Pasir Ris Dr 1 at times even in the KUBs, much less a Wright. Last time the shorter VO2x can fit bah, now highly unlikely..although I think a DD is way better than a Citaro..

  They are seen ON TEST before official registration. But after official registration no signs of seeing it. Most likely they planning the timetable for the BSEP buses.

  plan what timetable? Its been planned already. These things need time to plan, modify, adjust and approve before the timetable is effective.

  The only way to encourage people to take buses compared to MRT would be to have express routes in parallel to MRT, and make them stop at non-MRT stops, so that those who take a bus to MRT can directly opt for this route. If the express route serves stops Tanah Merah, Bedok MRT then  the whole purpose is not solved as people will end up taking MRT rather the stops should be TanaMera Condo, Bedok Swimming Complex, Chai Chee industrial estate. IMO.

  You know you end up at the wrong school when you see those kids that are much shorter than you running out from the school instead of taking their own sweet time.

  BSEP fleet add to Sv 359 WEF 17 Sep is a S-shift fleet add.
  
  New trips added at: 0702 0801 1608 1703 1802 1909 from PSR Int for weekdays. The timings for the trips before & after these new added trips are adjusted either -2 or +2 mins on the whole. So it does more trips during PM Peak than AM Peak, hmm.

  People still prefer taking MRT. Its faster. Soon, there will be Eastern Region Line in the east...
  
  But services like 23 and 857 is a good alternative to the MRT...

  After the recent spite of MRT breakdown incidents, I believe more and more people are considering buses as an alternative. And there might be a very small minority have already switch to buses because of these.

  And not everyone likes to take MRT because of the crowd.
