did Lta /smrt only order 60 A95? Cos the rego just nice start from 5740 n end at 5799.
it is weird that some of the A95(5740 till 5760) cost around $600k. While the newer one cost around 430K. Not sure why the big difference in OMV.
60 is actually alot to be honest to make the remaining service WAB and upgrade those needed svc -

Heard this order is from SMRT before the GCM but since LTA taking over the orders,Most probably another 60 or so..(SG5859)

Maybe because SMRT kapo the B9TLs?I also can confused why TT need so many buses..Bt Batok svc 106 & 189 only use E500s.
-
I think AMDEP try to deploy as many SG Citaros to their feeders and Intratowns..Maybe 852 also using all Citaros if Bulim take over Woodlands duties..Only 851 will use MAN A22s and probably a few A95s.

They add buses, i thought freq good, its the other way round. 911 is bad but i think 912 is worst, no matter how many buses they add, the situation gets worse. -

After BSEP buses were added, everything became haywire.

After they add like 4-5 buses, all the feeder bunch alot during peak n off peak and it kills the frequency badly -
For the time being,Svc like 911 deserved at least 1 A24..The lone A24 on 188 can transfer to Wldep.I would arranged this way so at least other feeders can have at least 1 A24 perm in their fleets.
900:4 O405G,4 A22 & 1 A24.
901:4 O405G,4 A22 & 1 A24.
903:4 O405G,3 A24 & 2 A22.
911:10 A22,5 O405G & 1 A24.
912:8 O405G,8 A22 & 2 A24.
913:7 O405G,7 A22 & 2 A24.
-
300:4 A22,3 O405G & 2 A24.
302:6 O405G,5 A22 & 2 A24.
800:5 A22,3 O405G & 1 A24.
804:5 A22,4 O405G & 1 A24.
806:6 O405G,5 A22 & 2 A24.
811:11 A22,4 O405G & 2 A24.
812:5 O405G,4 OC500LE,2 A22 & 1 A24.

Well, one blame would be the current GCM, where some drivers/staff jump ship.
Although govt. assure that they(people) will transit smoothly, their former company, like SMRT, is facing a shortage of drivers for Bendy/DD class license. It takes time to send them for "upgraded" training.
-
Only 21 A24s used for their operations and can deployed 6 A24 for svc 858.The rest can distribute according to depot needs.

TT and GA newbie is fortunate to drive DDs on their very first day of trainings unlike SBST and SMRT..

Blame it on SBST and SMRT for being too comfort in their chairs for so long..They also reluctant to take people aged 58 above for BC position..TT oldest newbie BCs is around 66 while GA oldest newbie BC is 68.

Strongly disagree for 302 5 A22s.. Last year had one time 302 have 4 A22s perms, AM PM peak really cmi until reduce to 2 rigid n became ok.. Rather have WAB fail than 5 A22
-
SMRT AMDEP deploy many Citaros for their feeder and svc 860 lately..Is it a sign that the upcoming Seletar Yishun package majority of the svc using Citaros?Hopefully 851 will stay loyal with MAN A22 and probably some A95 too.For the other two Seletar packages no need to guess what Ang Mo Kio and Yio Chu Kang will offer what models.

Can't help much either since they have only 40 units of A24.

so now Go-ahead get more old B9TL (3305-3309/3311/3312) from TT, after TT took in more E500...
seem like playing mahjong....

since LTA come into the picture... dun worry, if put DDs, then less bendies, then less parking space issue also..
further, i think they should split those WL/Yishun intratown to better improve the frequency.... no real need for intratown... if they want to travel beyond interchange, can just transfer....

Seems like the former TT and SBST ones are in a bad shape,Transmission leaking,Faulty gearbox,Grinding brakes etc..Serve them right..

Yea, so it's pretty damn showing that LTA and SMRT should've bought more bendies for the short routes.
Now that it's clear it isn't happening they better make sure the concept buses arrive ASAP and are on track so we northern dwellers need not suffer (better not be one of those no-action-talk-only fantasies that LTA always come up with, or delay until god knows when then bring in those DDs)

Don't worry bro,I'm not suprised if LTA decide SMRT to trial that SG5999Z first.
