When will WENYA get completed?
This also means with WENYA only the BBT/BPJ/CCK services will benefit. What about the whole huge loading services in WDL/YIS?

Wait for SMRT to transfer buses from KJDEP/AMDEP to WEDEP. Then, they can move buses from WLDEP to KJDEP, WEDEP and AMDEP...

It won't make sense for WLD and YI to go under WYDEP don't forget some of them have downroute blocks.
eg 171 (WLD) 187 960 has downroute from WLDEP to BPJ so to give it to WY doesn't make sense.

Not saying WDL buses should be transferred to Wenya. SMRT can't alone look at Wenya for high capacity buses(considering it is DDs). In the meantime, it also needs to upgrade it's other depots that cater to Woodland, Yishun services.
actually, since Kranji Bus Depot is for public bus services and in a way considered a "public infrastructure", why is the land it is on not 'freehold'?
Anyway, I think the lease will be extended when it expires soon...
I'm sure the government knows the impact on public bus services, if it does not renew the lease when it expires soon...

They can also start building a maintenance bay in WLBP for DDs (in case jacking up the DDs is necessary). The SD maintenance can be done in WLDEP.
Originally posted by carbikebus:Quite redundant for Kranji,Its Amdep that need relocate or expand.
Yes AMDEP should be relocated. There is lot of area around Yishun Ave 1 and Yishun Ring Road where a new depot can be built. Will be very near to all Yishun services, which AMDEP mostly is for. Also close to TPE and CTE. Some services like 965, 969 can get dual depot service with a depot near Yishun.
