  Though I saw a B10TL and a Wright on 23 once each.

  
  23 don't need to be WAB for now.

  Yeah, in fact I see no WAB demand along its sector now. Perhaps the Rochor sector, but other than that, don't think there's much demand for WABs on 23.

  But if BNDEP does need alot of DD spares suddenly, Sv 9 & 23 would be the best to use. Sv 9 already have Citaros, and its DDs are adless so easy to pull out. Sv 23 no WABs, but most of its VOs are adless too.

  Why would an ad affect the deployments?

  Err. Some ad contracts are route-specific due to the areas/districts for the route the bus plies. Like those ECCO shoes ad if you noticed are on buses that ply Orchard / City area, while those with the STProperty ad lately are spotted more on feeder buses / intratown trunk buses. It's not very obvious, but some ads you can see the trend.

  But of course, there's exception. Like 2833B that went out from 37 to SP previously even though it had a NETS ad, and 8342L which is still SP despite the Dutch Lady milk ad. I think those ads are suitable for any service as long as there's exposure? That's why they go to SP still. But usually the trend is SP buses with ad tend to be perm somewhere.

  Not sure if anyone has thought of what services might be getting the next round of Citaros/Wrights?
  
  For BNDEP, there's only those 3 Citaros. My guess is Sv 32, 33, 403.

  
  Sv 32 is because its PM Peak freq is really atrocious. 1700-1900hrs min is 16-17mins.
  Sv 33 also because PM Peak freq is like 15mins min.
  Sv 403 because its entire day freq is the worst among all the East-side feeders, whole day min freq lowest is 19 mins. Even 354's min freq is faster.

  Sv860 frequency is 9-10 mins during peak.....

  1st bus: 0530am (weekday/sat), 0545am (sun)
  last bus: 2330pm

  Sv60 will get fleet add effective 15/10/12.  think it will get Citaro this time under BSEP, unless there is more Wrights...

  likewise for Sv86.....

  think Sv402 also fall under this BSEP this time round....

  Obvious since it's number isn't close to either of the Yishun feeders but close to the intratowns instead

  not so fast. citaro might go to 265 again. the frequency is still poor even after 6300X went in. avg waiting 12-16mins during p hour. very hard to wait for that bus as i take it frequently. but 6312 and 6313 and the other amdep citaro might go to 55,58,70 and 72. i doubt so for 58 as it had perm before. plus riding citaro on 58 sucks totally
