  Hi all, SBST has reclassfied it's interchanges into East and West districts.
  
  EAST DISTRICT
  
  Ang Mo Kio
  Bishan
  Serangoon
  Toa Payoh
  Bedok
  Tampines
  Pasir Ris
  
  WEST DISTRICT
  
  Boon Lay
  Bukit Merah
  Clementi
  Jurong East
  Eunos
  Hougang Central
  Sengkang
  Punggol Temp Interchange
  HarbourFront
  
  Those in red are new additions to the East district, orange to West district.
  
  In summary
  
  1. All Central interchanges (AMKDEP controlled) are handed to East district.
  2. North East and Eunos Interchanges (HGDEP controlled) are handed to West district.

  Did I lose my geographical sense??? Those in Orange are definitely not in West of Singapore. SBST should not have continued to use East and West, rather it should simply just use Zone 1 and ZOne 2.
  
  It will just confuse us and would only reflect unprofessionalism on SBST.

  Seriously i feel that SBST had made some errors here or maybe it is just their code districts only .Well nothing major,Eunos is in the East,Toa Payoh is Central and Hougang are Northeast as far we already acknowledge.

  I think the staff at SBST must have failed their geography. HGDEP should remain in the East.

  Serangoon doesn't belong in the west. Perhaps they could have done a better integration job.

  I suppose the changes are to group buses of similar models together.

  They don't care so much about buses, only about profitability.

  I just had a chat to a SBST personnel this morning and he told me that there was some retrenchment going on in SBST internally. Hence, East District (BNDEP HGDEP) closed down.
  
  Therefore, since Central District is nearest to the East, Central takes over control of East District. At the same time it renamed itself as East District.
  
  This is the answer why AMDEP and bram are in East.
  
  As the new East District is too big, SBST need to send one DEP to the west. This DEP would be the western-most DEP in the former East District. That lucky guy to be in West is HGDEP.
  
  This is the answer why HGDEP are in West.
  
  Would the above satisfy all queries and questions?
