Somemore they have to order the Hino parts from Australia not Japan nor any Asian countries
Personally I feel that these buses should at least last until 16 or 17 years, or at least till the state where it's totally not suitable for revenue service. It's kinda wasted to just pull out the bus that early when some are still suitable for revenue service.
Someone spotted 321J on 855 last week and there is a picture of a MAN on 855 when TIB501D broke down in the accident and breakdown thread. Has any 855 buses spotted on other svc other than YIS/AMDEP svc?

SMB1324U SMB1325S SMB1326P SMB1327L all spotted in AMDEP today.
Depot transfer ?
Can anyone confirm that wef today that sv124 is partial or fully control by arbp? There is a switch in the parking slot in AMDEP wef today sv58 take over sv124 parking space. While sv58 slots are taken over by sv120 buses if I am not wrong.

All of them were all spotted on WLDEP service almost everyday since they started revenue service

SMB 1325S first service in AMDEP is WT18. Saw it earlier.

That wouldn't have made sense from SMRT's POV.
They are clearly working towards homogenising the fleet and ending TIBS's cost-ineffective way of purchasing this and that in small qtys.
Thus said, of course these small fleets will get retired before life-span because you dont sai-ji-ka-chng replace your assets right?
If you think its a pity, blame it on TIBS.

3 words. ONP.
AMDEP buses based in SBI parking overnight at 'SEBP'. All 882 buses technically don't park at AMDEP every night unless in workshop, they do ONP at SBI. Travel to AMDEP to refuel then park back at SBI. As for why not WLDEP for refueling, it's because of the number of buses queuing outside WLDEP is far greater compared to AMDEP.

SBS6652E and SBS6655Y also belong to AMDEP.
Are SBS8831S & 8832P still perm BR 60? The Euro V KUB page lists them both as BR 238 now, but that guy who edited this obviously didn't make the same revision to Sv 60's wiki page because 8831S & 8832P are still listed on that fleet page for Sv 60.
And both 8831S & 8832P are still on Sv 60 as of today..
Sv 17 time sheet changes
81A/82P is now 10A and 20P.
No change in fleet size
Service 334
SBS3147S & SBS3180U do full day (former S Shift)
SBS8773B & Unknown KUB do S Shift (former full day)
like eg today 3147 on 6P

Should be under "Bus Observations" or "Miscillaneous Topics on Buses". Not in Redeployments.

Positive perm 60. Perm sticker spotted on coinbox. boarded 8831 and saw stix.
Don't think that 238 has 2 missing buses as stated in SGWiki as there's only 9 perm (including the bsep citaro) buses with 2 crossover (1 bus morning peak, 2 buses evening peak) which makes up 11 Buses to the fleet. So the 2 missing buses stance is rather misleading as 5106 5107 5179 6109 replaced 8083 8085 8088 8091 which went to TRG
