More Citaros and Wrights to SMRT..
Originally posted by TIB967T:because of advert reasons (like TT)? or just random?
Not exactly because of adverts. Because while 3318R has the rear KFC Delivery ad, others with that same rear ad like 6429J 6541S are still doing random svcs.
6459Y iirc is still adless?
But i do realise that certain buses are always stuck within the same region.
Like many of the ex-AM 136, ex-HG 34, ex-HG 43 buses are always stuck in Pasir Ris + CGV + CGA, while the ex-PSR stuffs are flying everywhere. Idk if that's a coincidence (I would like to think it's a coincidence but oh well haha)

Actually how does the 'perm sticker' of GA actually look like? Visible or only insiders will be able to find?
On another note, has GA switched back to the old-SBST system of allocating BCs to only drive 1 svc each day? (instead of the previous system of BCs jumping multiple svcs in 1 day?)
Because recently while boarding Sv 12, 17, 36 for eg, i realised the BCs' timesheets only showed round trips of the same svc (the one I boarded) throughout the day..
But i'm not sure if they reverted back to the SBST system or only a few svcs did this?

Those SBS33XX Wrights seem to be on back to back slots on a few GA bus services.

Saw them. If not they throw to AMDEP n WLDEP get 5 MAN in return
No, I think they will throw to dustbin. I mean, WLDEP may refuse to deploy them.

Most of the first GA Batch 3 Wrights to be repainted green were ex-perm 43 (3434 3435 3440 3446 3448), and all were from Punggol services (as of mid October). Is this a coincidence as well?
(Also, SBS3448Z was painted green in October, but not updated until November.)

For your first point, I would say in general they repainted the buses from the Punggol batch first? But yeah, somehow certain buses are based in the same region. Maybe not particular svcs, but the same region.

Hmm that's interesting..But the permers aren't because of ads? Because there are quite a few non-Govt related ads on GA buses now alr..So that would be interesting if they do a TT-style. But i haven't seen much consistent trends for those buses yet..
But then yeah, GA now using back the old SBST system uh? I keep seeing the ex-BN 17 drivers now back on Sv 17 frequently, Sv 12 also as well.. (in addition to the timesheet having all round trips of the same svc I mentioned earlier)

Temporary basis only,Once School holiday is over,You will see prata flip again.Another thing how they will retain their BCs once Seletar winner open for interview?Those GA BCs living around North and Northeast predicted to jump ship.

SBS3500E yes, but it is not Voith. I know another 2 good Voith B3 Wrights, but I won't say in case LTA touches them.
3500E doesnt sound like ZF frankly,Most of the time i drive i can feel only 4 gears is used even for expressways..Haha

Listen carefully. Once you hear high pitch howl, it's confirm ZF.
I knew,But again it behave like Voith
Changi Bus Park (CGBP) will be permanently closed down on 10 December 2016, to facilitate the construction of East Coast Integrated Depot for Tampines, Tampines North & Changi Business Park, same bus services.
Looks like they will definitely have space vacated for Bedok and Tampines services.
