Is there ever going to be a bus deployment change?

  Is there?
  
  I want my dear 307 to snatch away the HINO buses on 945 & 947!
  
  945 & 947 do not deserve these HINO buses @ all

  There's chance, however, the possibility is not very high.

  There is only a slim likelihood.

  yes indeed. i deployed my hino volgrens on ZYX979 (changi airport - choa chu akng)
  
  and not on silly feeders like ZYX361 ZYX365 nad ZYX367
  
  in my opinion the hinos shd all be put on trunk services like 106 173 189 for us all to enjoy
  
  the same idea goes for the merc volgrens
  
  they shd be doing buses like 963 and 960 and not 911 and 912 and 913 and 903 and 900 and oops 962

  How can you ask that? They are just feeder services which just take around 30 minutes to complete. It should be given to Intra-town 307 or Trunk 190 which are more important services than 941 or 945.
  
  At least I feel happy for 307 as they have gotten good treatment from SBS back in the 90s.TIBS just gives them lousy CAC 0405s. Sorry for having to express my anger towards TIBS at this forum

  Fully agree. Volgrens are much more comfortable with their leather seats than those O405s with those soft cloth ones.
  
  Same with SBS. Those NAC buses, esp those on long haulers eg Sv 154 or Sv 74 should be dumped on feeder/townlink services while the AC buses go to trunks. It would be nice to see all the NAC Scanias go on Sv 291

  Haha... SBST is pampering 291 too much... 293 should get equal treatment.

  Sv 293 gets quite good treatment already...better than Sv 19/29...at least got 50% MK3 fleet
  
  Sv 292 should also get more MK3s instead of Scanias

  Is 291 a townlink? From what I see, SBS pampers their townlink services quite a lot. 307 used to get good treatment too.

  Yes, service 291 is a townlink service.

  I'm just curious. To me, no service is more worthy than the other. If the Hinos are deemed as feeder buses, so be it. Anyway, they sometimes do cameos on 77 and other trunk services. I miss the HS, actually. I love the brake and suspension sounds that are unmistakenly Hino.

  50% Mk III fleet is good treatment. To me, I pity the poor passengers. I'm sure they rather take a speedy, comfortable and bright N113CRB than slow, uncomfortable and gloomy Mk IIIs.

  Did u notice? 64 changes its fleet a little often. 991 G, 2664 Y & 2677 K etc now belongs to 64 and those that went away are: 948 S, 960 E, 2602 B, 9576 Y, 9289 B, 9287, 9301 Z, 9302 X, 9390 E, 9683 X, 9684, 9672 C, 9687 etc.

  Hey there everyone
  
  Anyway, TIB510C's been transferred to Woodlands Depot now, and TIB538Z to Ang Mo Kio. How about TIB745S and TIB584P? Are they Woodlands buses or Ang Mo Kio buses now?

  TIB 538 Z was seen on sv 106 just a couple of days ago. It's transferred now?

  TIB 425R could well be an AMDEP bus. It was last seen on Sv. 61

  The Volgren Bendies are bought specially for the feeders and intratown services. They only went to trunk services occasionally.
  
  Up till now only trunk services 856, 960, 962 and 963 has permanent Volgren Bendies besides the feeders (again, except service 901 and 911).
  
  So sad sv 169 has been striked off the list .

  How come Wd feeders are so lucky? Choa Chu Kang Intratown 307 doesn't even have OAC MB 0405, it uses CAC 0405.
  
  WOW! My theory is right...TIBS hate CCK(except 190) just as much as I hate them
