why svc 800? Loading does not justify.
I prefer it goes to 804, 806 and 811 instead.

I don't understand why!? 806 feeder route is quite long to support DDs. So is 804 route.
Priority 1: Bendy
Priority 2: DD
Deploying DD anyday better than the MANs floating on these services.
The A24s should be strictly used for feeders/intra-towns. They should not deploy them on trunks, as Yishun, WDL feeders/intra-towns desperately need them.
Bendy priority:
300, 302, 307, 800, 811, 812, 902, 913
Bendy or DD:
804, 806, 900, 901, 903, 911, 912
* My opinion is based on loading pattern. Very short distance high loading bendy better like route 800, 811, 812, 913.
* Route like 900, 901, 903 where pax travel quite few stops before alighting, DD also okay

Have to look at intra-town services as distance from MRT and not the whole route in itself. IMO.
811 loading is MRT --> industrial estate, then sembawang road --> mrt, mrt --> yishun industrial estate (as you can go to industrial estate from stop from int or next to mrt) --> then khatib to ave 1...
Wah if you count like that,Then everything is short distance leh,Think about the journey time instead to complete 1 trip

Today 250415
PB A24
8001E on 300
903/911/912 imo is not suitable for DDs. Lower deck MAY be packed while upper deck empty.

Windscreen shod be fixed le bah?
Y they put A22 windscreen in the first place leh?
Should be AMDEP
8002C on Sv 800 for today
Actually IMO, SMRT feeder and Intratowns not fit for DDs (dunno about 911 and 912 but 300, 302, 800, 804, 806, 811, 812, 900, 901, 903, 913 all cannot. 945 should have bendy but currently dont have). Their main loading involves people who travel less than 10mins. Only route like 285, 334 can have DD cos the main alighting area is quite far from Clementi and JE MRT respectively.
Out of the 1st 40 units i think 20 will goes to Amdep while another 20 spread to Kjdep/Budep and Wldep

Last time 302 had DD. Back then it was the heyday of LAs.

SBS can have any territory but YIS.
SMB should be content with just YIS.

VO3Xs and O405Gs have a special place in my heart along with CRBs. The former 2 provided some of the epuc bendy-DD battles on 25 & 854.

Totally agreed, iveco.
They cannot get YIS right despite being the earliest bastions and the most protected territory.
Shud just get the basics right before trying any too far fetched ambitions.
SBS shud just simply show smb how it is done.
SMB8003A on 804 today...
Haha better remains + add in more operators.. More competitions, more standards
SMB8002C on 804
Most of A24s should go to AMDEP.. and AMDEP should take in Sembawang services... as they do not operate DDs.
