check through the schedule... sv57 and Sv238 (or sv26) should be under this round of BSEP for AMDEP/BRBP side... so that BSEP wright in AMDEP might be for Sv21...
on a side note, i am expecting Sv269 to get fleet add under BSEP as well. (so many feeder services have been getting BSEP fleet add), but this time round, Sv269 got fleet reduction (almost 22 trips reduction).... seem like the crossover from Sv128 are removed?
Wright can be BNDEP too. Service 57 is comfirm citaro.
Btw I want to ask, does all the 128 KUB's does equal crossover trips?(eg. all do 6 trips)
If it does, need to recomfirm, 22 cannot be divisible by 4. If all does equal trips, can be fleet add by 2 or fleet reduction by 2.

Saw the poster at Serangoon North Ave 4 bus stops at around 7.00pm. Didn't expect it to serve Serangoon North Ave 4 though.
Most of the commuters always transfer to buses along Serangoon Central after alighting from the MRT at Serangoon.

Its a Merc OF1413, looks nothing like a B57. -

letter from LTA feed back after I email them to feed back on service 59.

FEEDBACK NUMBER: 20121030-0227
We refer to your email of 30 October 2012.
We would like to share that bus companies like, SBS Transit Ltd (SBST) schedule the frequency of a service according to the demand to ensure that resources are well-utilised. The scheduled frequency for Service 59 from Bishan Interchange to Changi Village Terminal during the morning peak period (i.e 6.30 am to 8.29 am) is 10 minutes. Given that the bus services are affected by factors such as traffic conditions, passenger activities and weather conditions, a slight deviation of plus 5 minutes of its scheduled arrivals en route would be deemed acceptable.We have checked the performance of Service 59 from 15 to 24 October 2012 at the bus stop outside Blk 1 along Lorong 6 Toa Payoh during the morning peak period from 7.00 am to 9.00 am. The average bus utilisation during the heaviest 1-hour ranged from 32% to 48% when they departed from the mentioned bus stop. In terms of reliability, all the bus trips arrived within 15 minutes, which was close to its scheduled frequency. However, we have noted that there were a few isolated instances of prolonged waiting time of between 16 - 20 minutes for the bus to arrive at the mentioned bus stop.
We will request SBST to review the performance of Service 59 and to implement measures to improve on the service, where necessary.
We have also copied this email to the Public Transport Council (PTC), the licensing authority for bus services, for its information.
Please contact me if you need any clarifications. We thank you for your feedback.
Yours sincerely

Well, I have taken Route 50 but it was always the Leyland Vikings that I boarded. From their body types I suspect those were HGDEP ones. 3307 in the past was a BBDEP rego number. ARBP had 1xxx buses, HGDEP 2xxx, BNDEP 4xxx, AMDEP 5xxx, BRBP 6xxx and JRDEP 7xxx. -
Service 116 introduction
SBS Transit Portal Information
SBS Transit PDF File
Note guys, it is from : Hougang Central > Serangoon [ LOOP ].
Serangoon Int doesn't have any more space so it loops there. I suspect most of the new BSEP citaros are deployed under this service and is services by HGDEP. -

-
It is weird to loop the bus via Serangoon Central and then Boundary road. It should have just been the opposite. It should stop at the same stop at NEX as 43, 70, 315 to give people other options to travel and ease the load there.
The route is duplicating many other routes and does not really have a unique route / identity. Disappointing route structure.
-
116 will be fully HGDEP controlled and full SD fleet. I don't think it will need DDs given its route.
It will release the pressure on 315 though during peak hours.

It will also ease the congestion from sv159 and sv72 at serangoon nth and hg ave 4. Almost all the 72 DDs are packed during peak hours. Same for sv159.
There are too many buses that pass by nex on the same side. With more mrt underground exits, people can take them to get to the other side.

159 no. It's more frequent than 116 (8 mins freq for 159, 10-12 mins for 116), and closer in walking distance.

Actually almost all the time even though peak hr is frequent but the buses seem packed whenever I wait at the bus stop.

I am stating that it will most probably receive BSEP CITAROS and not BSEP WRIGHTS
