  Simple,Kjdep can't afford to take in more buses already so they wanna cut down ONP too.Amdep also packed and rumors Yishun also will be taken over by Wldep once the Interchange is demolish.Svc like 75,190,858,966 will be partial Amdep.

  Actually I prefer Wldep control BPJ and YIS.They can always part control with Kjdep and Amdep respectively

  970,700,925 i can get it but 176 srsly? I still think its better 176 stays at KJ than WL.

  Ok Wldep to Shenton way further or Bukit Merah?Since Kjdep already pack then no choice.Thats is why in the first place why they dun built the bus park within Toh Guan or West Coast..

  I have a feeling the new WLBP has plenty of spaces to spare which is why the transfer though.

  Heck, SMRT always seem to come up with something weird with DTs though.

  Shenton Way is further because its right at the southern part of Singapore similar to HBF. 
  BTM.Shenton Way and HBF by right the nearest is AM for distance

  852 can be KJ/AM

  I agree BBT to WL is far compared to KJ. 190,77 can also AM/KJ. 966,858 can go WL/AM. For 855 and 188 im nt sure need dual depot or not. 926 shld just go to WL instead of KJ

  852 can go KJ alright, but the main problem is that is would be a hassle to go yishun from KJ, They have to maneuver around KJDEP to Yishun which is really a waste of time to be honest.

  Put it this way, do you want to spend your time going back to depot fast (you'll go home fast) or you want to spend it on finding your way back to the depot for a long and hard time?

   I have no preferences but which is better? You go back to depot the shortest time (you'll go home early) or you'll take a longer time travelling around where to find the depot (which will take a longer time)?

  852 can be KJ/AM

  Seriously it's better if 852 Amdep slots taken over by Kjdep and remaining Wldep.The 3 Kjdep duties all start from BBT.

  As usual he won't give credits one. But if the deployment is wrong them he will say that info is from someone else or Facebook or wat. Happen so many times already.

  Sadly the ELBOs was scrapped off 4 years in advance (833X to 836M,839E,843S,845L)
