Bus Terminal, Interchanges & Depots

Bukit Batok Bus Interchange
Walls has been re-painted with green and white colours. New rooms have been constructed at the two ends of the interchange. Re-surfacing of roads and replacement of barriers and stuff probably coming soon.
If the three tranches of implementation of GCM Bulim package will be carried out evenly, there's a likelihood that the first nine of the twenty-six bus services are all from Bukit Batok Bus Interchange.

Clementi Bus Interchange
Bus Services 99 and 156 had a mutual swap of boarding berths. Now, 99 is at B4 and 156 is at B1.

Though it'll be quite a long time before the compound will be upgraded into an ITH - or even installed with air-conditioners.

I wish they take svc 99 & 175 instead of 66 & 143.

Joke aside,Which is the suitable place to built the future depots beside Bulim,Loyang,Sungei Seletar,Ulu Pandan,Mandai,East Coast and Kim Chuan?Maybe one more for CentralWest,Northwest,Northeast,Eastern and Centralnorth?
Northwest maybe integrated with Gali Batu depot for Downtown Line, but dunno got space or not. For central/north area BRBP is in a good location, but currently belongs to Comfortdelgro/SBST. LTA can either take over the space or build a new depot opposite at current site of BCA Academy, integrating with Bishan MRT depot.

Gali Batu hmmm maybe yes or no..If not must see whether Dairy Farm got any secluded area after the private house plannings..Brbp good location and if LTA takes over,Comfortdelgro have to move somewhere already.That depot can easily acommodate 500 buses provided no taxis or other vehicles park there.But again its quite impossible given the location is just beside main roads..

Bishan can do with a multi storey and Bartley Rd(Beside Woodleigh) also can built a multi storey depot.

Most likely once keat hong CC finish construction, hopefully the land beside it will be cleared to become "grass" for the pasarmalam and the extension can be constructed

They can also permanelntly relocate CCK int to beside lot one since that land big enough, can even make ITH with lot one..

BBDEP DD problems:
BBDEP perm DDs by service (not counting services in Bulim GCM):
5: 3 DDs
7: 12 DDs
10: 10 DDs
14: 18 DDs
65: 15 DDs
74: 17 DDs
80: 4 DDs
95: 3 DDs
99: 15 DDs
111: 5 DDs
132: 4 DDs
147: 18 DDs
151: 1 DD
165: 4 DDs
166: 9 DDs
196: 16 DDs
198: 19 DDs
201: 4 DDs
Total DDs deployed by BBDEP/ARBP: 177
-
BBDEP has 134 Wrights, 47 CDGEs and 5 VO3Xs, which is equal to 186 DDs.
-
BBDEP actually only has 9 spare DDs to play with, after accounting for missing buses.
When HGDEP transferred some DDs to BBDEP to clear space, why did HGDEP not transfer any spare DDs to BBDEP? (Unless SBS7701R was the spare transferred over.)
Strangely, BBDEP didn't use any B4 Wrights to replace SBS9469Z, SBS9471R, SBS9473K and SBS9494A. Instead, BBDEP used them to kick out CDGEs.
