  969 should not be made WAB so fast so that bendies can remain in larger numbers... and 169 majority rigid fleet and all but two of the bendy buses are split shift do it could be WAB but AMDEP will not be able to give WAB buses until it can take it more buses

  Agree. 969's loading is too damn high...

  Tampines interchange can't accomodate so much space for bendy buses.

  Another solution is to hand 969 over to SBST to operate.

  169's formation are 9 rigids 2 bendies as full day regs (Weekdays) but weekend full rigids as regular also 3 bendies from AMDEP as T/S and 2T from WL.

  969 is full rigid and no full day bendies on all occasions. Full day bendies did happen before but rare.

  What 169 and 969 needs is 1 full day bendy as standby on all occasions and going WAB won't help the cause either.

  I would say 67, 188 and 190 need it more than 61, 171 and 700.

  Two bendies back to back  on s190 at Scotts road are packed to brim in evening peak. Same thing in morning peak. Bendies leave fully seated and still have a S queue forming at the interchange at CCK.

  Last time, I remember that service 965 got perm MAN now they downgrade.

  242 was kicked to 960. 

  Afterwards, 237, 238 was sent to 187 for WAB. 

  Some time after, 276, 277, 280, 281 came. 

  Then, 

  276, 277 to 966

  280 to 859

  281 to 171

  Total downgrade. As of now, only 270 is CROSSOVER to 965.

  some of us suggested 911, 961 and 969 to be WAB... 961 is alright, completely understandable but 911 and 969? don't think it is too urgent. Looking at 911 and 969's commuters' demographics, they are not in urgent need of going WAB. most importantly, they will suffer drastic and deep fleet downgrades without high capacity vehicles which are WAB....

  911 10 buses which 4 are bendies.Lets say 2 WAB bendies and 2 normal bendies plus got 2 OCs right?Put in 4 MANs settle Liao.969 1 WAB bendies from each side and rigids all MANs and OCs settle Liao.961 Amdep need to kick in 6 WAB settle.

  Is there a demand for it in the first place?
• SBS 6078 M

  19 Jan 13, 19:33

  for 981 maybe yes. cause the senoko district has some elderly workers working in the factory..

  882 i dont know liao...

• SMB66X

  19 Jan 13, 20:46

  882 I guess the demand sure would be the same, even if those HDBs are done(or at most increase 1-2buses). Further more, SBW park is still U/C(like dk how long alr)~ I guess they don't need any fleet add. or WAB so soon yet.
