majority of the SMRT services going to TT are parking at Bulim now or overnight parking at BB interchange right? so not much space free also ?
What services are the SG plated SMRT Citaros perm now? Or still sp

I think some of them are perm on Svc 812... Some still running around on the Yishun services (Svc 804, Svc 860)

Yes they are dumped almost exclusively in Yishun (AMDEP) though some are cameo'ing rarely on 61 and 67.
Saw one on 855 on Sat.
Meanwhile, BBT, BPJ, CCK, WDL gets all the good stuffs (i.e. DD's)

Amdep union not strong enough to convince that they too need the DDs.
Why does BBDEP kick out CDGEs with every single brand new Wright that they get, and not have a single spare Wright?
BBDEP has 104 Wrights (excluding BSEP), and ARBP has 31 Wrights, which make a total of 135 non-BSEP Wrights, all of which are deployed.
BBDEP has 32 CDGEs, and ARBP has 17 CDGEs, which make a total of 49 CDGEs. Of these, 7 have the Voith gearbox.
Only 33 of these CDGEs are deployed, slightly more than 2/3 of the CDGEs.
BBDEP has 16 spare WAB DDs, and 168 deployed WAB DDs. This is lower than the 1:10 ratio of spare to total number of DDs.
In addition, all non-WAB DDs in BBDEP/ARBP are deployed.
So, expect frequent cameo downgrades in BBDEP.
BBDEP should be able to take more DDs once TT takes over the 4 bus services, but all 4 of them are in the last tranche of TT takeover.

So its like WLDEP Pte Ltd vs AMPEP Pte Ltd vs KJDEP Pte Ltd... still need each depot to lobby like MP lobby for IUP? What a joke... thot it shud be a central planning thing. So it means if the WLDEP MP is a big bully then the rest lose out?
So I am right to want to drive SMRT out of YIS/SBW.
SG1710R, SG1711M >> KJ SP (on 979 and 188 respectively)

What...
Can someone clarify why they did this? I mean, why would they kick BSEP Citaros out from 136, when Sv 136 needs the BSEP buses for the transfer to Go-Ahead in a few months? and Sv 138 doesn't need BSEP buses also (because it's not under Loyang)?
Unless, they are intending to use the remaining SP SG-plated Citaros (the 10xx ones) for 136 eventually..?

dunno.. i keep saw these two citaros on 138 for 2 weeks... just nice i have time on sunday to check the timing and wait for the two buses and saw 138 perm sticker on driver side window (136 perm stickers are mostly on coinbox)...
maybe because of the ad?

6658P is adless now? Or does it still have the SongHe ad?
The Chang Beer ad on 6002G expired alr though. 6151J (BN 33) & 6190X (HG 156) with the Chang Beer ads previously also, have had their ads removed & pasted with something else within the last 2 weeks..

Pretty sure it's just the West-district side of doing things (kicking out the older B9TLs and let the new ones enter).
The East-district depots, on the other hand, tend to hoard the newer buses as SPs, unless absolutely needed to deploy as perms, LOL

All the new SG-plated Citaros under SMRT are still SPs for now.
The only common thing they all have, is that they've been almost exclusively deployed on Yishun-based svcs since their 1st day out on the roads. Only with the odd cameos appearing on stuff like 61 & 67 occasionally (that do not go / terminate @ Yishun)

Yes still SP,Cause BC feedbacks that the SG Citaros is much slower than the SMRT ones..LTA use this injector controller seal to delay the acceleration for safety purpose..

Yes,Not only Citaros but majority of the SG plate A22s.Some tech says need to hit certain mileage than can finetuned the acceleration.Well i just hope that LTA can raised the 60 speed limit to 65kmh on expressways.

dun remember whether 6658 still have the back ad or not.... then i also dunno why they switch these two buses out... maybe the two BCs driving 6412/6414 are not going to go-ahead? guess come september, 6412/6414 will still go to Go-ahead...
