so how is the govt going to account of using taxpayers money for all these things? Ads?? You sure or not? Govt can make big surplus from all these? Then also what is nationalise? It's to run it for zero profits or surplus.. Obviously you're sprouting things again for things you dunno... Slowly becoming a laughing stock... -

Hello, the BSEP buses are already registered with numbers off their production batches.
SBST Citaro :
Production Batch = SBS6000L > SBS6299S,
BSEP = SBS6300X > SBS6317Z
SBST Wright :
Production Batch = SBS3000G > SBS3269Z,
BSEP = SBS3300R > SBS3312G
SMRT MAN A22 :
Production Batch = SMB138Y, SMB189A > SMB388S,
BSEP = SMB3001M > SMB3023A
The buses registered under BSEP are deployed under LTA.deployed under LTA but each company borrow money from LTA to get the new bus. What i mean is LTA buy buses and let both company share them. the company no need to come out money to pay for the new bus. the company only operate the service route offer by LTA. this way if both of them fail in operating the bus route or service, other new company can take over the route or service and use the LTA buses.
this is one way to cut cost and let rich people who drive car indirect to help to run the national transport system. don't forget car owner has to pay ERP, COE and Fines and TAXes to support the transport system.
this way transport company only Transport Service Provider and LTA is service route planner and hardware provider which is paid by tax payers. Don't forget we pay tax every day since you come to earth.

Just let it as now. If the BSEP buses are with LTA livery, nobody could ever recongnise it as a public bus in 1 shot. That's why full body advertisements that cover the front livery is banned.

no need to bother about him.. he already like to repeat the same things?

BSEP not alway about new bus. Today it seems like 159 start looping at toa payoh instead of terminated at the interchange. Which i think the service timing improve alot, it rare to see two 159 coming together in the afternoon timing and take about less then 8 min to wait for one 159 bus.

Hmm. What is the possibility for services to be under BSEP? 268?

Yeah, that's true. Sigh.
Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong, but both companies didn't put out a new notice for the latest BSEP services right? They only put out the notice for the 1st round?
At first I was thinking it might be that SBST has the BSEP buses to launch alr but SMRT side hadn't, but then the past week I think it's not the case like I've thought. So wondering why no notice yet? I mean, how would they expect the commuters to know their svc has a BSEP bus to improve the freq if there's no notice?

159 is because the Toa Payoh end on berth side commences the WAB upgrading works...

not really 159 use to park at the berth next to 28 which is not upgrading. i notice 163 and 159 and 73 all looping at toa payoh and is moving off the interchange at a faster timing.
-
Now with 159 making a loop at Toa Payoh int, I wonder if there is any fleet cut.
-
159/163 must loop if not Brbp/Amdep take over better

Eh.. if it's not over the WAB upgrading works, then why are they shifting the end on berths svs now? Upgrading takes time as they've to complete the sawtooth's alighting bay first... Obviously again, people dun know how LTA does things... Furthermore, S157's sawtooth position has yet to be fixed... -

Furthermore, S157's sawtooth position has yet to be fixed...159 is one of the service under LTA's Bus Service Enhancement Programme so the bus timing must be good if not LTA will fine SBST. that why looping at toa payoh will make the bus service timing turn over faster. instead of terminated at both end the bus looped at Toa Payoh end. I don't think any cut in serivce.

Think you dun get it... Toa Payoh Int all of the end on berths are undergoing WAB upgrade right now... Bus svs will swap over to the sawtooth berth in phases ... -

Bus svs will swap over to the sawtooth berth in phases ...prob only 159 will go over and stay there. the rest of the services will just do mahjong as they gradually upgrade the lots. There are no spare parking lots at the sawtooth side for any of the remaining end on berth services.
