Bro BusAnalayzer, told u already still tree pruning
Originally posted by TIB1234T:These are the ones from 960, 951E & 963… Since 859A/B are full day under BSEP, they have to use BSEP buses from other svcs when there is almost no spare BSEP A22s…
These 3 svcs are also receiving BSEP DDs, so it’s possible that the A22s will be taken over by the DDs…
Anyway, 1 of the BC from 951E/962 slot is trained for DD…
BSEP A22s will get registered from September/October onwards...

Stevens road also needs some tree pruning... Though 132 has been plying for long, on 972 ADL today, it hit the branches 3 times at Stevens stretch.
According to a post written on SMRT's facebook page,
106 (Bukit Batok), 190 (Choa Chu Kang), 850E (Yishun), 966 (Woodlands) and 969 (Woodlands, Sembawang & Yishun) will have Double Decker buses with effect from this coming Monday, 18 August 2014.
We have the pleasure of announcing that from this Monday 18th August 2014, SMRT Buses will deploy DD buses on Services 106, 190, 850E, 966 and 969. The DD buses will complement existing single-deck buses that serve these routes. We will monitor the requirement for more DD buses that serve these routes in due course.
At this rate (~1 month 5 days), I guess 188 (Choa Chu Kang & Bukit Batok), 951E (Woodlands), 960 (Woodlands & Bukit Panjang) and 963 (Woodlands, Choa Chu Kang & Bukit Batok) will have Double Decker buses with effect from around 23 September 2014.
how many bus will be deploy to each service? full day ??? 850E most likey morning and evening time only right? i think 106 and 190 might taking over bendy buses so is 969.
972 not all the DD deployed on non peak hours. waiting at orchard road the DD come around 245pm quite standard very day. i never see any other smrt dd on 972 other then this bus. how about the smrt premium 531 bus service which had bendy bus deploy ?
https://singaporebuspage.wordpress.com/tag/east-coast/
According to SMRT's facebook page, there will be 15 Double Decker buses by this month. Only fifteen DD buses and already nine services have DD.
15 DD buses : 9 bus services
1.67 DD buses : 1 bus service
It's either the deployment is like this, or this is not the updated number.
i think each service will get about 5 with 1 cross over to 850E and cross back to do normal service after peak hour trip is over. like some sbst premium service with DD buses. it will be good if can put one or two for the smrt premium 531 bus service
BSEP DDs only..don't expect fleet upgrade so soon...the most 1/2 DD per svc under BSEP slot...
969 n 850E probaby shares the same DD...and I guess they won't be deploying all 15(3504 - 3515) bah?

So here is the list of buses for each service (not confirmed)
106 - 3
190 - 3
850E - 2
966 - 3
969 - 2
* At least 13 ADLs more will be deployed on Monday 18-August.
* They should also consider adding 2 more ADLs in this round to sv 972. But since they will want to maximize # of services for statistics, I think 972 will get more upgrades only in Sep phase.
My guess on 18/08/2014 Monday, including the current on revenue service SMB3501L - SMB3503G:
=====================================================================
106: 2 KJDEP buses
=====================================================================
[ 106S191 (SMB3037K) ]
[ 106S192 (SMB3039E) ]
- As 106AP90 (SMB3038H) is bearing the Concessions Scheme advertisement
=====================================================================
190: 3 KJDEP buses
=====================================================================
[ 190AP90 (SMB3101H) ]
[ 190S191 (SMB3102E) ]
[ 190S192 (SMB3103C) ]
- Most probably all BSEP slots may get it because of the high demand during Weekdays Peak hours.
=====================================================================
850E: 2 AMDEP buses
=====================================================================
[ 850ES192 (SMB3044P) ]
[ 850ES193 (SMB3059Y) ]
- 969 is the only Double Decker friendly service that 850E buses can crossover
=====================================================================
966: 4 WLBP buses
=====================================================================
[ 966AP91 (SMB3062L) ]
[ 966S190 (SMB3041Y) ]
[ 966S191 (SMB3042U) ]
[ 966S192 (SMB3043S) ]
- Most probably all BSEP slots may get it because of the high demand during Weekdays Peak hours.
=====================================================================
969: 1 AMDEP bus
=====================================================================
[ 969S190 (SMB3029J) ]
- Will get 2 crossover double-decks from Express 850E
=====================================================================
972: 6 KJDEP buses
=====================================================================
- adding 3 more double deckers to the current fleet
Number of buses:
AMDEP - 3 buses
KJDEP - 11 buses
WLBP - 4 buses
Total: 18 buses
Most probably
1. SMRT - LTA will not kick out any BSEP buses bearing the Concessions Schemes advertisement.
(e.g. SMB3027P, SMB3028L, SMB3038H, SMB3080J, SMB3081G, SMB3082D)
2. Those buses with the SMRT New Livery have a higher chance to be replaced by the double deckers.
judging from how SMB3501L, SMB3502J, SMB3503G kicked out SMB3086T, SMB3087R, SMB3088M from BSEP Service 972, which the three MAN NL323F (A22) BSEP buses are bearing the BSEP: More Buses, Better Rides small advert.
966 two DDs this round only...

that's why i said maybe...
but I still think 966 will get 2 DDs this time round..
Spotted SMB3523 in silver livery with blue trade plate going from WLBP to KJDEP last evening

This is interesting. Ppl shitting outside my station become SMRT, Lui, Desmond Kuek's problem. Million dpllar paid CEO and minister dealing with shitty problem
Maybe 850Ex969 duty will be handed over to WLBP??
But tbh..I hope it's not 850Ex969, since both svc requires DD during peak hours timing[6:30-8am ; 5-8pm]

Haha where you saw them smoking? like malaysia sia..saw those metrobus drivers in KL also smoking while the bus got pax if i am nt wrong..
btw abit OT.. took TIB621R on 67 two weeks ago and the bc drove the bus off with the exit door left stuck open from tekka market bus stop to the next one.the door managed to be closed at the next stop..Thought that buses cant drive off fully if the doors cant be closed fully?
