  I heard from a senior that...

  When a certain bus gets new WAB buses, they have to dump the old non-WABs somewhere else, like how they dumped the VOs on 23, 65, 74, 132, 153, all JIS services etc. instead of making them SP buses.

  965's case is because SMRT chooses to dump the O4s on 965.

  163's downgrade earlier on was due to HGDEP still having lots of MK3s at that time, and had to deploy them on certain services.

  70's case is due to not enough SP WDDs at AMDEP, as mentioned by SBS 9631X. Don't think ADD to WSD replacement is good, as it is a high demand CBD service.

  That senior sounded bright......not.

  To put simply if you put the older buses into SP, then what's "deployment of assets" for?

  Might as well Russian Roulette every morning?

  

  I won't even call it "dump". It's called "re-shuffle".

  Please get your mannerisms right.

  And I challenge anybody who keeps talking about "the perfect deployment" to read the extremely dry theories of public transport planning that are also nicely steeped in mathematics.

  But I will bet based on what I have seen to date that there won't be any takers.

  and Sv23/65/74/132/153 all along got the VOs in their fleet.... most of the VO3x kicked out have gone to SP and mostly JIS services to replace VO2x and LO3x instead.

  Actually possible one~ 4 OCs, 3 Bendy for AP and S201(Bendy). If need, probably increase 1 more PM shift bus. As for the 3 S1 slot, all bendy. Should be alright.

  My guess..

  SMRT :
  969, 911, 926(?), 927(?)

  Since 138 is alr WAB, might as well turn 926/927 as WAB?

  I perfectly remembered 927 has 3 perm citaros one of them if i recall was SMB188C.

  I prefer 926+927 routes combined and they operate full day since 926 dont have a perm bus.

  969 has been in consideration for some time. WL side is clear, AM side not clear

  Really replacing 527E? What happened to 527E, laid up or something inside AMDEP?
