Good.. looks like Sept round will have at least 12-15 ADLs go on road..
For sure:
972 - 3
188 - 2
963 - 3
951E - 2
Other probable:
169 - 3
If tree pruning along Bukit Timah road is done, then for sure:
67 - 2
960 - 2
* My inference is completely based on which BSEP SD slots can be converted to DD.
For 106, 190 - all BSEP slots already converted, unless you add another ADL add - but that would be unecessary coz these services now need SMRT SD --> DD conversion
AMDEP services not possible, Yishun interchange services not possible yet. Feeders/intra-towns, we dont want DDs yet.
Given these circumstances, 188, 963, 951E, 169 are the only trunks I can think of for next round.

i think 67 should have 5-8 DD and 963 also 5-8 and the timing of 966 is a bit out for peak hour DD service.

Maybe 67 and 963 should get even more. But right now it is all BSEP ADLs getting registered. This means it has to be BSEP MAN --> BSEP ADL conversion.
Once SMRT starts registering its ADLs, then we can expect bendy/rigid --> DD conversion from SMRT side.
Originally posted by carbikebus:Agreed..966 DD timings a bit off course..The A22s behind always full to the brim..Should exchange slots..Probably between 1810-1830 @ MP.
Even 972... PM peak... depart before 5.30pm from Orchard rd all 3 ADLs to BPJ and then next round starts again between 7.00-7.30 from Orchard rd.
So the main 5.30-7.00pm peak slot is left out... but what I think they are trying to do is give 2 rounds for the 3 ADLs to do somewhat the PM peak slot (even if it is out of the prime peak slot).
972 does get 55-65 pax in the first PM slot and 70-80 pax in 7pm peak slot. Hence, 972 needs DDs in 5.30-6.00pm slot as well as I suspect there will be good 80-100 pax during this time who will take the bus.

3518P under Bulim, first started on 106...

Prob because it's a spare bus, allowing it to jump between KJ svc n BU svc..
Saw a DD on 969 just now..
Took smb3504 today. Hardly feel the aircon at the window seat. Some clowns still stand at the upper deck. Engine sounds good but aircon cannot make it really

When the air-con can make it, it's cooling..but if you sat for too long, especially during raining days, it's super cold...

agreed. i took 3504 & it's super freezing. somemore that day rain heavily
how come he hardly felt the aircon? i took 3504 some 2 weeks back

15 more BSEP ADLs..
sv 972 - 3 (3519-3521)
sv 188 - 2 (3522-3523)
sv 963 - 3 (3524-3526)
sv 951E - 2 (3527-3528) replacing 3052/3079 with crossover to sv 962 & 964 after doing 951E in AM
sv 169 - 3 (3529-3531 maybe)
sv 700 - 2 (3532-3533 maybe)
3516-3518 will continue to remain SP for the moment to fill up for other services that have breakdown/maintenance
Based on my observations, these BSEP duties will receive the DDs.
188 (2 buses):
188AM90 / 188PM90 , 188S190
951E (2 buses):
951ES192 , 951ES193*
960 (3 buses^ / 1 crossover):
960AM90 / 960PM90 , 960AM91 / 960PM91 , 951ES192 AM Off-Peak xover
963 (3 buses / 1 crossover):
963AM90 / 963PM90 , 963S190 , 963S191, 951ES192 PM Peak xover
* most likely it will not crossover to 964 and may be redeloyed to crossover another DD-friendly service (960, 963)
^ 960 may receive another S1 BSEP slot as 960S107 has been added to the service recently.
buses that will be running for this round will most likely be SMB3519L - SMB3528K, while SMB3529H - SMB3533U will be added to other current services with DD buses, and most probably 190, 966, 972 may get these enhancements.

190 cannot coz already all BSEP slots converted... need SMRT side upgrades now 50xx series. 966 can get 1... 972 will get 3.
960 - are you sure that the trees have been pruned already? If yes, then will get... else will have to still wait.
Hopefully done, then 960 and 67 can also get.
Originally posted by carbikebus:They already stated other svc suchs as 951E,960 & 963 will receive progressively..
What i really want to see svc like 187,851,857 receive at least 4 each
851/857 cannot until Yishun interchange gets its temp home.

That's great... then we can also expect 66/67 to get some DDs in future...

966 cannot liao... SMB3090E had just added to 966 as the 6th BSEP...
