  Correction: AMDEP deployed 5 A22s since last year.

  And I don't think they can bring in the A24s that quickly, so my guess is they will use OCs/MANs/Citaros...

  No offense, but those MAN and Citaros ain't got no shit.

  965 going WAB means they will kick those May '95 buses out of revenue svc first. Buses like 507M won't be going out first.

  969's case would be possible if they can double the buses available. 

  Actually they are making the Yishun side more to the WA side rather than to other areas.

  471G to 474Z, 478M have to be replaced. I think 965 got 9/13 buses WAB if all of those 4xx buses are replaced

  969 WAB concerns can be mitigated by moving the two AM 531 MANs to 969 and replacing 727U with a MAN for WL side

  This time round those passing by YI gets the WAB wave. I won't be surprised if there is an exchange between 965 and 178 buses, 178 has 7 whereas 965 has 3, I do not think they will use SP MANs from WLDEP but we will see.

  I think 868 is also a WAB, and it is not full day too. Please correct me if I am wrong.

  Err.... nope, it is not a WAB, but it has full WAB fleet.

  Services like 981 is also not full day but made WAB...

  902 i have never seen PIW on 902 in my 3 yrs in RP but that doesnt mean there is no PIW at all. We cant rule out that possibility though.

  811 is easier because OC gone got MAN to replace. But i swear it is still funny to see it on WLDEP. At least 860 still okay.

  902 does not make sense even. Students need WAB service? There are more services that connect all WDL / YIS HDB towns that need to be made WAB.

  Look at all SBST feeders / intra-town. Almost all of them are made WAB now. It is needed the most here for old people.

  Look at SMRT feeders / intra-towns in YIS / WDL / CCK - hardly any WAB services.

  SBST is because they got Wright wich is WAB DD that plies on most of the feeders. They got KUB n Citaro that plies on many feeders too. SMRT feeders are 80% bendies. Have to wait WAB bendy then

  Then,SMRT should really go buy WAB bendy for the sake of the PIW people that live at estates that have bendies as intra-towns and feeder services.I pity the PIW people
