Bus Deployment from Depot

400 also right? That will be more interestingOriginally posted by SBS9818A:Another interesting discovery I made yesterday, St. Michael's services come under the purview of Bishan Route Group.

Yes, 400 also I think.Originally posted by freakybuses:400 also right? That will be more interesting -
The nearest SMRT Depot from Eunos & Tampines respectively are AMDEP,Lee JZOriginally posted by leeJZ:Also weird is why AMKDEP has half control of 61 & 67 when WLDEP is closer to Choa Chu Kang / Bukit Batok?

AMDEP is nearer to Tampines / Eunos.Originally posted by carbikebus:The nearest SMRT Depot from Eunos & Tampines respectively are AMDEP,Lee JZ -
What of 965? Is it full WLDEP?Originally posted by carbikebus:The nearest SMRT Depot from Eunos & Tampines respectively are AMDEP,Lee JZ -
AMKDEP is still quite a distance away from the two....Originally posted by SBS9818A:AMDEP is nearer to Tampines / Eunos. -
but that means better buses for 61 & 67.Originally posted by leeJZ:AMKDEP is still quite a distance away from the two.... -
AMDEP is still considerably nearer than WLDEP.Originally posted by leeJZ:AMKDEP is still quite a distance away from the two.... -
WLDEP is further from the expressway too.Originally posted by SBS9818A:AMDEP is still considerably nearer than WLDEP. -
But you dont see SBST deploying AMDEP buses on 39...
-
Don't think it is under AMDEP.Originally posted by leeJZ:But you dont see SBST deploying AMDEP buses on 39... -
Because BNDEP has enough buses to cope with Sv. 39 demand, and is near to Tampines Int.Originally posted by leeJZ:But you dont see SBST deploying AMDEP buses on 39... -
Then why doesnt 168 be full BNDEP when it has a similar fleet size to 39?Originally posted by SBS9818A:Because BNDEP has enough buses to cope with Sv. 39 demand, and is near to Tampines Int. -
But if possible, AMDEP can deploy buses on 39 so that 39's driver won't have to drive the bus all the way to BNDEP.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Because BNDEP has enough buses to cope with Sv. 39 demand, and is near to Tampines Int. -
But why isnt 168 fully controlled by BNDEP or AMDEP when it has a similar fleet size to 39?Originally posted by SBS9818A:Because BNDEP has enough buses to cope with Sv. 39 demand, and is near to Tampines Int. -
Cannot. WDL is too far away from BNDEP.Originally posted by leeJZ:Then why doesnt 168 be full BNDEP when it has a similar fleet size to 39? -
Means that there must be a centralised depot to cope?Originally posted by sbs&tibs:Cannot. WDL is too far away from BNDEP. -
Lee JZ my dear friend,Sometimes things are ought what they are to be,Examples sv 33,People might think that they come from BNDEP,But instead it is a HGDEP-BBDEP svs.Originally posted by leeJZ:But why isnt 168 fully controlled by BNDEP or AMDEP when it has a similar fleet size to 39?
Same things for Upp East Coast Terminal,All the while i thought that it is under BNDEP control,But it turn out to be AMDEP controlled. -
But it is quite logical for some Bedok services to be HGDEP as there are so many of them that BNDEP has to hand some over to HGDEP.Originally posted by carbikebus:Lee JZ my dear friend,Sometimes things are ought what they are to be,Examples sv 33,People might think that they come from BNDEP,But instead it is a HGDEP-BBDEP svs.

btw YIS - BNDEP distance is quite far also... -
leeJZ: i see that what your point is why 168 is controlled by AMDEP and why 39 isnt, given that both services goes to TIBS territories and are from the east.
Firstly, 39 was launched later than 168. and technically, BNDEP and AMDEP should control it.
Secondly, AMDEP does not have enough buses to deploy 39, and hence the full control of 39 to BNDEP.
One problem why AMDEP does not ahve enought buses to supply is because AMDEP provides the full fleet of all BSH SGN AMK & YCK and st mikes services except 21 81 86 105 166
Of these 4, 3 are partially controlled by AMDEP. However, their fleet from AMDEP is in the minority as the other depot that controls the service deploys more buses on that service.
So, if 39 were to be controlled by AMDEP, how many can it deploy? 2? 3? It'd be better if everything is controlled by one depot right? It saves alot of trouble -

Don't forget depot constraints. Plotting bus routes isn't as simplistic as you think it is.Originally posted by leeJZ:Then why doesnt 168 be full BNDEP when it has a similar fleet size to 39? -
Which route groups are 2 and 195 part of.
Also, are 965 and 969 full WLDEP? -
2 is full BNDEP control while 195 is full ARBP.Originally posted by iveco:Which route groups are 2 and 195 part of.
Also, are 965 and 969 full WLDEP?
Both 965 and 969 are majority WLDEP with a small number of cameos from AMKDEP. -
Which bus models are deployed from which depot? From what I gather, Scanias dominate the East, Mercs serve Jurong and Central, Volvo B10Ms (all gens) populate the West, Tridents make their mark in the Northeast and VSOs call SBSHQ home.
Tibs bus model deployment is obvious. Lances from HQ appear on YIS trunks, CRLs belong to Woodlands and DAFs have stranglehold of Northwest. But where do Hino & MB Volgrens come from, and what are the regoes of Volgren artics.
