  What type of bus other than the current ones (MK3s,4s, occasionally MK2s) should be deployed on 163? Or shud they remain the same? The load is quite high in the peak hours. I think we shud deploy the VSOs or some tridents in sv163. If not possible, LOs or VOs will do. Take one VSO from 76, . Preferably 9810. And tridents, from 64, 51, 147, 153. We have 4. That makes 5 DDs in all. And why have i chosen tridents and VSO SBS9810X? Because they all make use of EDS, so no need to make new service plates. These shud be enuff after topping up with an existing MK4 batch 1 (SBS948S), the MK4 batch 3s (SBS2796A, SBS2837R, SBS2838M, SBS2741?). and the occasional MK2s. Yeah. An ideal batch of elite vehicles for 163!!!

  Just pump the frequency and that should be enough. DDs are not required in the first place.

  163 should also be deployed by AMDEP like it used in the past. Give more Mercz to 163. Remember the days, 163 used to have mercedes...

  Sadly 163 is now under full HGDEP control after its extension to SEk

  You mean the side destination plates?
  
  Yeah, I remember those too. Cos the the Lances didn't have EDS when they were first introduced. The blue desto plates look very nice, actually. Very fitting for an Air-con bus, though not for TIBS.

  Yes, the front blue desto looks nice, although the number is small.
