They can try putting A24 and in the end add 5 more A22s
SMB8025L was used on Monday afternoon which I heard LTA insisted to do the test at each terminals, driven by one of the 960 senior BCs.
T3 seems alright for the bendy to turn, but problem is the length of the berths bef & aft the zebra-crossing. Saw the bendy resting at 27/53/36 berth with group of staffs from LTA/SMRT/CAG to see what & where to improve. Photographs were also taken as documentation purposes.
T1 wise, might need to rearrange or reposition 858 berth if that's what they were considering about.
T2 resting/crossover bays for 858 buses bef & aft the berth were seen tested and bendy was able to fit in just right. However, few problems arised as to few situations. For instance, if the bendy were to do crossover or park at the crossover bay, the rear section would be exposed largely, creating higher chance of sideswipe incident or blocking other SBST buses. The team were possibly looking into improving the length of the berth, modification to the crossover bays or rearrangement for 858 berth.
Still, I hope they have done the detour tests incase the security barrier is under maintenance or breakdown. The current tight gap only allows rigid to pass through the side of the barriers if either one of the situation occurs. If they did not see these as part of the criterior, then good luck seeing bendy stuck at the gap, blocking the whole terminal underground entry...
They just need to find a better alternative to serve the 3 terminals. Instead of going to basement have them go via the taxi stand areas. Then no issue for DDs or bendies.

DD are still an issue to CGA due most of the areas are kept at max 4.0m...

KJ have already take in a lot of MAN A24s. But why would KJ want to take all 16 MAN A95s? Should give some to WPDEP and AMDEP.

There is no official figures stating that SMRT bought only 16 MAN A95s...I doubt SMRT would not have grab this opportunity to order a decent number of MAN A95s before LTA took over. So you can be rest assured that WLDEP/WPDEP and AMDEP will get them sooner or later.
Hopefully, they will get another 30-40 more A24s..just nice enough for those feeders/intra-town and maybe 858..
i wan all bendy kick out of 969. so many bendy still. need to replace e500. also need more a22 to e500. look 168 and 969. big diff in serv quality.

SMB8036E out yet?
Dont know,but seriously they need more than 40 A24s for their feeders.

It will be year 2016 when the 40 A24s had all been registered...by then there may be a lower chance for SMRT to get more A24s, unless they made another order without prior notice like the A95s...
8037C alr out...maybe 8036 is waiting for 904A's withdrawal

interesting, adding one bendy on Sv860 also needs MP Ong Ee Kang to help to advertise in FB.

MPs are appearing everywhere, a MP even put her face on a poster regarding 174e getting WAB status.

That leaves only one more, 8040. After that this batch is done. Remains to be seen whether there will be additional order, but I would say that if SMRT was able to buy A95s, then it does increase the A24's chance of getting a purchase.
smrt deploy a24 for trunk also. kj got. i thought make 300 wab but give to 180/188. smrt deploy screw up lor.
SMB8030X, SMB8031T and SMB8037C on 858.
