Except 961 and 980..Else their dead mileage issue wont be solved until GCM kicks in..LTA also study the feasible of dual depot control especially for the incumbents.Svc like 858 really need a bit of Amdep control.30 plus km from Wldep to CGA and its possible with the plan to ONP at Loyang.

Are there any capacity reduction for SMRT106? It seems there are more single decks than double deckers, and the frequency does not seem good too.
WIth DTL running, are there redeployment of buses previously running along Upper Bukit Timah Road?
SMRT106 deserves better frequency and higher capacity.
With new bus company taking over SMRT soon, what improvement can I expect from this new bus company? The new bus company are simply taking over the old buses from SMRT and operate them, or they have they their own buses, bus operating hours, bus frequencies?

106 really needs more DDs deployed during off peak, when I take bus from Orchard and I see A22 on 106 arriving, I would wait for the next bus (usually I would just take 7 instead of 106 as 7 operates on nearly full DD as I don't want to stand from Orchard to Clementi)
In addition, I've observed 106 DDs towards Shenton Way empty and deployed after 1 A22 that is nearly fully seated with a few standees, otherwise, 2 106 DDs can bunch together or arrive less than 3mins apart with less than 30 pax each -

New bus company taking over Service 106, not SMRT.
TT already has 85 brand new DDs. Is that not enough for massive upgrades?
Exactly 1 month away.

Looking forward to the new bus operator. Hope we can observe tremendous improvement over the SMRT Bus, both in higher bus capacities and better bus frequencies.
-
Maybe the lack of upgrades on 43 is because many of the BCs don't have DD licence, not because of a lack of DDs.

I have made a deployment for 106 on Your Own deployments thread, even though I have not taken 106 before.

106 always has had a huge number of A22s. It has 10 A22s and around 14 E500s. So there is high chance of you seeing A22 on 106 depending on the time.

Clueless for now, 3117M and 3118K not appearing on S190, i suspect 3103C doing that slot today, suspect only..

BBDEP seems to really hate the CDGE B9TLs, so much that they had no choice than to deploy a CDGE to replace SBS9469Z on 196.
-
BBDEP really needs those SG-plated B4 Wrights. Why are there so few buses for BBDEP?
-
SBS8350M
BRBP SP -> BRBP 186
Is it a fleet add, replace any SDs or DD -> SD? Seen on 186 almost every day.
