981?
SMRT leaving these E500s in SEBP to waste when 981 was not in operation?
Seriously 981 doesnt need DDs,Just add 1 more A22 make it 5 buses enough.Those 2 E500s deploy on 167 more better.

Have you taken or observed 981 before? I have seen the DDs on 981 getting very well utilized to the tune of 80-100 pax during its operating hours. SMRT is very stingy in deploying HC buses - if it does it is for a good reason.
SBST on other hand is too liberal with its DDs.
I do agree that 167 deserves 2 DDs.

Most times the A95 that do 868 AM trip, will go back to depot and only use as back up after 1 trip. The other A95 on 868 does only 1 AM trip and then crossover to 176 during PM.

This slot should be covering up 858S190's morning trip.. 858S190's timetable has been amended to do SWT 858B..
Originally posted by 201911:svc 256 downgrade from B9TL DDs to Citaro SDs. Not sure whether there are any DDs left as I didn't observe the whole fleet.
Based on my observations for the past two weeks, 256 have DDs running along with 1 citaro and 1 Euro IV KUB.

As in I never observe the SWT 858B fleet.. Only saw the change in 858S190 timesheet..
167 also have one more duty..Highly suspect from Amdep.
I noticed that all 854 DD's DO NOT run on weekends and public holidays. Spotted 0 on Sat 6 Feb (maybe my timing wrong?). Today 8 Feb CNY day 1 went ard to AMDEP at 6:30pm. 3604, 3605, 3606, 3610, 5076 and 5077 all found sleeping inside.
Today 291 also full of SDs..I ever saw 3 DDs running on 854 during Weekends where mostly operate on T shift.
858B should be given to Amdep..5 buses running during peak hours

Yes AMDEP has excess A22's and OC's, can give to such SWT's.

They can even take 5 duties from 858 especially for early trips that start from Airport.Other svc that Amdep should minor control is 960,966 and 969..Very useful.882 can give back to Wldep..
