I think "swing" is same as "split shift". The bus will operate on 2 services on different timings. For example, a bus could service service A during peak hours (AM & PM), but during off peak hours the bus will be back service service B.Originally posted by th1988:From what I know, 90 and 238 have swing sechulde.
Can anyone tell me abt other swing services as I believe 74, 154 too have swing sechulde?
Svc 90 buses never serve Svc 238, basically because that Svc 90 is mostly NAC and Svc 238 is FAC. There're 2 swing buses on Svc 238.Originally posted by ^tamago^:like during peak hours Svc 90's buses can be deployed to do an additional run on Svc 238 every time it comes back to Toa Payoh Int before doing Svc 90...?
Did you check out the 90 fleet early this morning?Originally posted by th1988:For service 90, swing buses are truly split shift.
Rego 3578, 3599, 3605, 3613, 3615, 3619, 3623, 3720.
There was once 3722 did a swing between 90 and 238. But it seems 3722 is a perm 238 bus now.
OK, we'll fix itOriginally posted by ^tamago^:gd definition.. we shall stick to either "split-shift" or "swing" cos quite confusing..
Originally posted by ^tamago^:Correct. Only it may manifest itself in different forms, it all depends on timetabling.
or we can say, "swing" is "cross-services" , that is, it has duties on [b]more than one service on a single day, anyday.. while "split-shift" is simply one-service, but with a break time for the bus in depot during the day..[/b]
My SWING definition is equal to that of the split shift as said above. This is because the driver's timesheet said SWING.Originally posted by SBS9818A:OK, we'll fix it
SPLIT SHIFT : Bus returns to depot after AM peak and back in service before PM peak begins.
SWING : Bus serves one service in the AM, then crosses over to another in the PM.
Yes, it'd be less confusing and more logical. Because on many timetables I've seen the word SWING never appears.Originally posted by service_238:My SWING definition is equal to that of the split shift as said above. This is because the driver's timesheet said SWING.
As for the type where the bus operates more than one service per day, SBST may use the same word. But as for this forum, it'd be better if we apply the above definition
I believe that's a temporary bus only. I seldom see MK4s on Svc 358, mostly MK3s and N113CRB. Will take a lookout to see where SBS2766L swing to.Originally posted by ^tamago^:is SBS2766L a perm bus on Svc 358? it does not use the long side plates on MK4s since Svc 358 does not seem to have it but it was on Svc 358.. i had no time to see if it "swung" to another service..
It could either be a SP or a perm bus on some other service, but Sv. 358 had a bus taken out off service for maintainance, so SBS 2766L popped in.Originally posted by delonchew:I believe that's a temporary bus only.

My speculation would be Svc 10 or 168. It might be a bus from HGDEP too!Originally posted by ^tamago^:anyone has any idea where SBS2766L originally came from?
Service 168 did not use SBS 2766 L before.Originally posted by service_238:My speculation would be Svc 10 or 168. It might be a bus from HGDEP too!
