My guess is that 170 will be using KUB next saturday
And those ex DM3500s from 160 should be running around now.
Saw SBS2752B on 175 today.
Better take the JB DM3500 to HGDEP for sv 89 115 159 or throw them to 161 during SUNDAY/PH

I really wonder how many more non-WAB services in ARBP/HGDEP can handle with large numbers of DM3500s (and other MK4s) in their fleet until the end of 2015...

Actually AR/HG also not much need of this NON-WAB SVC buses bah unless for HG Side they dun want to make sv 159 WAB so fast and @ the same time take out all the older DM MK4 & strider to replace by this JB DM3500 .

Perhaps SBST will have to spread out the DM3500s amongst all the depots.

SBS8079Y still on 16 today... SBS8408G still on 100...
I got saw 2 transferred DM500 in HGDEP with spad stickers pasted on the bus. As far as I know that the DM500 that transferred to HGDEP from BBDEP about sometime ago do not have spad stickers pasted on the bus,only have 3rd brake light.

I know
I wonder if the 170 ones will mainly stay at BB as SP or go to HG as SP or go to AM/BR/BN/CG/SL as spare bus

Should be share back among all depots bah like the volvo B57 / volvo B10M MK2 used on svc 170 many years back also .
I notice that AMDEP currently have plenty of spare K230UBs. If HGDEP is going to have a shortage of WAB buses after the JB K230UBs transfer out, AMDEP should give HGDEP some K230UBs and take DM3500 in return.
Also, some ARBP/BBDEP WAB services (like 16, 57, 111, 123, as well as the feeders in Bt Merah and Clementi) have full fleet WAB perms. Unlike HGDEP and BNDEP style that always have a non WAB perm on almost every WAB service. I wonder if these currently full fleet WAB services might get some DM3500s in return after 170 gets a fleet change.

Only very little spare KUBs from AMDEP can be transferred to HGDEP as not many services in the central area has the rectangular desto. But after all, better than none uh?

Add on 103...

Most probably a fightback for more new buses into HGDEP once the older MK4s start to retire 2nd half this year.
Looks like apart from 371, it is unlikely for other non-WAB HGDEP services to go WAB that soon.

a few more svcs also can replace by this JB DM3500 ( Like 105 107 112 153 159 163 325 and somemore other svcs etc,,,) just withdraw this perm DM MK4 STRIDER out to SP
Btw is better they take out this DM MK4/ STRIDERs out from SVC 103 159 and replace them with this JB DM3500

Agree...hope that all DM3500 will be scrapped with the Striders and DMs by 2015...
