have been seeing DDs on 854 on weekends
guess this weekend special arrangement due to CNY more BCs taking leave (like how 291 has been full fleet SD this few days)

Sunday: Add 2 Reg (1 WL & 1 KJ)
926
Sunday: Add 2 TQ (2 WL)
All additional slots on both services are only operational during Festive Seasons.. but to KIV..
Sunday 925 got 7 bus, ytd 6 bus, today 6
926 got 5 bus on sunday, ytd 6 iirc, today 5
On the two days of Chinese New Year, Service 43 is running on nearly 30 minutes frequency with full DD fleet. 43M is running with 2 SDs and 2 DDs.
DDs seen running on 43/43M: SBS3105M SBS3141H SBS7703K
Frequency is so bad that I only saw 5 buses on 43/43M! And I didn't take bus at all for the two days.

And dont forget that most of the commuters rent car or even passenger of the car too.
256 seems to have kenna fleet downgrade from DDs to SDs on some of its fleet as I constantly see Citaro and KUBs appeared on this service often.
But not surprising anyway since the ridership of 256 seems low.

Probably Chinese New Year deployment then..
969
Weekday: Add 2 Reg (aka 969AP14 & 969AP15)
Bus: A22 respectively
These slots have been added to the fleet since last year anyway..

It seems like 256 do not need DDs as much I have observed it's upper deck it pretty much empty though.

By the way, SMB1535C is deployed under 969S152 under Weekday schedule, and 969AP15 under Saturday & Sunday schedule.
Not really a capacity change.. but
963S150 does not crossover to 981 anymore during the Weekday PM Peak ever since 981 DD debutted..

256 seems to be having SD perms based on my observations for the past three weeks as 256 have SD operating on both weekdays and weekends on a regular basis.
Based on my observations, I think 256 have a EIV KUB perm and a Citaro perm (require confirmation as I only spot it at Joo Koon Interchange and Pioneer MRT at different timings of the day, I suspect SBS8089T is a perm for 256 but requires confirmation)
not sure if mentioned here:
975 had a BSEP fleet add wef 170116...

1535C is AP15 while 5078D is AP14. 1535C was AP09 now taken by 5072U.
1535C was never a split shift bus, every night i saw this bus at 11+pm.
1531M (AP07) > 1535C (AP15/former AP09) > 1532K (AP10) > 1555U (AP13) > 1533H (AP12)

Hmm but I have been seeing 1535C on 911E every morning though..
Originally posted by SMB315C:Hmm but I have been seeing 1535C on 911E every morning though..
I doubt 1535C is split shift to start with. From day 1 redeployed to 969, 1535C is always spotted near last bus timing
Anyway, ever since 911 got WAB-ed on June till current..

911AP07 - A22

(Before WAB)

PM Off-Peak - 6 buses
(After WAB)
AM Peak - 8 buses (0)
AM Off-Peak - 8 buses (0)

PM Off-Peak - 8 buses (+2)
Adding on, (from what I have observed), there are up to 3 bendy buses deployed during Weekends..
AP08 is SMB1476P not TIB1032J anymore. The bendies deployed are replacing AP01-06, any random slots that need replacement
del
I suspect 302 got a bendy fleet add again (AP slot)...will observe again..
spotted 4-5 DDs on 854 during weekends.In fact this service need to reduce 2-3 SD duties and convert to 2 DD slots.No point running with 29 buses when most of the SDs cant cope with the loads.Feeders or short distance trunk is different case.

I think the perm A24s go for preventive maintenance after Airshow..
observe for another few days
