SMB8008L => 811.
Been on 811 for the past week.
812 down to 4 bendies with 1058K injured.
Someone pls update wiki.
103 will receive progressive adding of DDs. now only 1 AP DD. sooner or later after more observation will upgrade more. because 103 high loading only occurs in a selected period of time so LTA has to do some study to better utilize DD buses.

103 only need DDs during peak hours,Other than that including weekends the single deckers can tank the loads..

Most probably SMB8038A will cover the slot.

If 102 can have DDs... definitely 103 deserves more because the Jalan Kayu - NEX sector does get 60-80 pax during both AM/PM + there is bi-directional loading unlike many other services.
The DDs on 103 will also help relieve Seletar loading to Serangoon on sv 70.
Not sure yet about the loading at Seletat Airport - Yishun has improved or not.

Most of the time i observed the loadings is well managed by SDs except for a few peak hour trips that require 3-4 DDs.Most of the time the BC crawl..

102 introduced by LTA and they have excess of DDs.
currently from what i observed, the DD helps out during PM peak only for NEX > Sengkang, and not Seletar. Seletar probably next round get

and yes, the loading from yishun to SAP has increased tremendously. It is getting packed buses too nowadays, but for only 1-2 trips unlike towards Serangoon where 4-5 trips are packed
103 doesnt need A/P DDs but obviously need 5 split DDs..Peak hour loadings definately worth of DDs.
47 for now also just need two full day DDs and 3 split DDs.
117 and 118 can do well with 3-4 DDs.
911
911S104 & 911S105 (Weekdays)
Bus: Random MAN NL323F
Both duties will have to stay at WRI until the Bus Deployer and/or Bus Timekeeper requested to downroute to certain bus stops to cover up frequencies.
At least 2 AP slots were added to 307 Saturday timetable. Not sure if the TQ slot is still there though... it was with effect from today but description at timecard shows "Extend RT"
SMB3117M on 307AP07, SMB3131X on 307AP08 (new slots)
There was a change in timecard for Sunday duty as well since last Sunday, also with "Extend RT" but not sure if there are fleet adds....

Extend RT = Extend Run Time

Yup i know... but last time 307 only has 6 AP slots, today there are at least 8 AP slots

Oh sorry then. I assumed that you are asking what's the "RT" stands for..
Observation on Friday at Yishun MRT bus stop from 2015 to 2040h
965
First bus DD: 5009D pack to the door and upper deck full
Second bus: 1541J fully seated
Third bus : 1542G half full
Fourth bus: 1337H full to the door
969
First bus: DD full to the door, upper deck full
Second bus: Rigid (Half full)
Third bus: 1532K (Full to the door, become 170 style, board at the exit
Fourth bus: 321J, same like 1532K, another 170 style, board at the exit
Fifth bus: 320L, full to the door
My conclusion. 965 need 3 more DDs, 969 need to upgrade 5-10 SD to DD.
Take note it is at 2030h when i spotted this, slightly after peak hour and the crowd is bursting, i cant imagine during the actual peak hour from 6pm to 8pm

No worries. Just that its strange there was a fleet add but not reflected in the description of the timecard haha!
964

965 only need 2 split DDs compliment the already existing 3 DDs..For 969 it should be 20 DDs and 6 SDs..Best if those 6 SDs gave to Amdep.Can also introduce SWT Amdep duty revised 969A route from Tampines Int looping at Yishun Int.
256 now got Citaro buses. Just now when I was at Pioneer MRT, I saw one Citaro on 256. Like finally. 256 loading has been consistently low throughout the day... single decker is good enough on 256. Double Decker on 256 is quite over supply. It's good that 256 fleet has been downgraded.

About time too.
What's the overall fleet structure like?
Let me take back what I wrote.
what I saw in the morning was probably a one-time re-deployment, or there is only one to two single Ds, among so many double Ds.
just now when I came back home, I kept a look out for single Ds 256 and possible single Ds sighting on 258, while at the bus interchange and on 243G.
only saw one double D on 256, and many double Ds on 258.
more days of observations required before I know whether or not there are really single Ds on 256.
as usual, 243G had long queues. 258 really needs those double Ds. It is not likely that 258 would be downgraded. Besides, LTA buses cannot be re-deployed.
(In fact, considering how much over-subscribed 243G and 242 can be, I feel that there should really be some kind of re-organisation of feeder routes in Jurong West Extension town...)
Speaking of which, it seems that many/all non-LTA wrights have been re-deployed away from 243G/W. Suddenly, there are so many old double Ds on 243G/W. :/

965 needed more DDs for sure.
