Did SBST win the seletar package? I saw a sign erected along Lentor Avenue (entrance to new Seletar Depot). The sign reads: < SBS Transit
Hi mr p228, the winner is not announced yet. However I hope they win. Cheers. Thanks.

The sign outside the new Seletar Depot seems to suggest that they have won.

Hi mr p228, no official press release yet so not counted at all. Last time they say winner is announced in feb 2017. What we can infer are only higher probability than other bus service providers. But as long as no official announcement, it is not true yet.
In pg 38 of this thread, I predict sbs transit to win. Let continue to wait to see who is the grand winner of seletar package. Cheers. Thanks.

Or maybe it just means the depot if temporarily controlled by SBS Transit for overnight parking. Although I will be extremely happy if they wins.

I don't see why they need to use Seletar depot. When their depot at AMK is big enough. SMRT is the one who needs to use Seletar Depot badly. The buses all congested at AMD for overnight parking.

SBST Amdep is very full already... (although they did not park like SMRT AMDEP).. but for the past years, SBST AMDEP is also parking some buses along the carriageway...
seletar depot is more or less to compensate for the loss of CGBP...
even AMDEP (SMRT) control many services, most of the buses are parked elsewhere (SBW Int/WLBP/YIS int/LYDEP)...frankly speaking, SMRT are still taking in new buses recently... doesnt seem to have lack of space..although their parking in depot seem like jigjaw puzzle...

Just send over all BSEP E500s from WLDEP and replace those with A95s. After all WLDEP only wants one brand (MAN), don't they?

They can,Wait for the mass transfer of the BSEP A22 to the Seletar winner.

If WL taking in the Shitaros then I EXPECT them to
1. Deploy surplus A22 on SBST/GA, AND
2. Bring back the OCs and the ZF Citaros.
All, Bukit merah bus package will be launched for tender after Q3 2017. The winner will start bus operations in Q4 2018. Cheers. Thanks.

i still got the feeling this package will remain with SBST, because of Sv 160 & Sv 170 in it, too tedious to get the paper work done for Cross border service

agreed. and idk if other operators can handle. i guess this makes up the exciting part of this package. Can't wait for its results. But i'm curious about carbikebus' opinion. Mind sharing?

Package can be revised if LTA want..160/170 can exchange with 48/100 respectively.

Anything is possible with LTA..

Give them 32/33 better. Let 160/170 remain in BBDEP. Isn't this contract area serviced by ARBP?
