  Suspected:

  SMB30Z >> BU 172 (on AP90 slot)

  SMB11D, SMB12B, SMB82Z >> KJ 975

  SMB3161J, SMB3153H, SMB3159S >> BU 983 (replace the 313x MANs)

  SMB3150R, SMB3151M, SMB3152K (2 of them are still with 979, 1 to SP)

  SMB14X, SMB16R - SMB18K >> BU 985 (replace the DAFs)

  Some idiot deployed SBS9595S on 43 as a replacement for SBS3105M. This is totally rubbish.

  The VO3Xs almost always move like snails as the schedule is not tight enough. In fact, 'snail buses', buses ahead of schedule by 10-20 mins, buses intentionally slowing down at traffic lights, and buses stopping for ridiculously long at bus stops is becoming more common.

  It was SBST's fault for restricting the 1st gear of Citaros. Even SMRT's Voith Citaros can keep up to schedules which are tighter than SBST's schedules. 

  P.S. No wonder 27 has cameos so often...

  if it is so easy to do planning for schedule, why dun you go work in SBST and plan the schedule? give too much travelling time, cannot... give too short, then buses all late and BC cant rest, you also come complain......

  not sure why it is SBST's fault in restricting the 1st gear of Citaros, got to do with VO3x snailing???

  The 1st gear restrictions are the very reason that the schedules are not tight enough. So, while the 'maximum potential' of a VO3X is much faster, it will be too far ahead of schedule.

  Your reasoning is totally absurd dude
  
  Bruh the citaros mindlessly changing from first gear to the 5th gear is just them trying to make it "save fuel" and it's only applicable to the first batch of SBST citaros
  
  Plus with 27 being such a long route, delays by traffic jams are very common, esp at Punggol Road exit
  
  So please observe more before making rants here please thank you
  
  Oh and fyi, dream on about SBS9595S perm replacing SBS3105M
  
  SBS9595S is perm replacing SBS9419T

  I suspect Loyang mass redeployments are happening soon if not already. Service 6 full fleet BSEP while other BN/CG BSEP svcs getting non-BSEP perms. KIV.

  stupid reasoning..... sv27 with 4-5 mins frequency definitely will have bunching. same go for Sv72 with majority DDs... at YCK terminal, it take 2 1/2 mins for 100-110 pax to board the DD, by that time, another DD will be waiting behind already.... 

  traffic light/traffic conditions/boarding/alighting activities/frequency are the main factor causing bunching, not the 1st gear of those citaros..... when u move off from 1st gear, the speed will be 20-30km max, what does that have to do with bunching? so u r saying that it will take around 5 sec longer for a "1st gear restricting" citaro to move off from traffic light/bus stop?

  Hmm.... seem like now SG 5311H stuck on 109 whereas 3927H running around to other svcs instead .

  I think i can confirm for 3158 and 1607. 1566M need to kiv, 1569E iirc was on 169 ytd. 3158 was on first PM peak bus. 3157 didnt see on 901 ytd.

   

  1517,1586,1582,1583 is confirmed already. 1526D need kiv, didnt see on 963 for awhile

  But it's very weird for SMRT to kick out both SMB1582R SMB1583M.. 960 is going to be a WAB service very soon too..
  
  What's more the A95 Batch 2 (SG-plated) might not be housed under WLBP..

  Im saying based on my observation. It is very hard for me to say it perm 960 when i saw it on other services, maybe they gonna use those 2 A95 to replace these 2 slots. (5902,5903)

  Suspect SBS3096E to be SLBP 51 with new Ecco advert.

• SMB31X

  28 Feb 16, 08:05

  It seems like:

  SBS22M SBS23K
  (SL 255)

  Seems like these 2 like to stick on 255 can't find the missing bus though since it turn WAB some time back.

  7718T  AM 72

  This one is more or less confirmed. Just need someone to board 7718T to check for any new perm sticker can alr(:
