Premium 549 and 761 to get out.

Anyway, Cross-Border 160 / 170 / 950 are exempted from GCM and they will find their own arrangements, such as provide them up to 120 buses.

Welcome to dream land! Since when did 4N and NR5 under any packages

According to this newspaper report (in Chinese), they supposedly will start operations with 317 transferred buses and 50 new buses. I think the 50 new buses part is a bit low as compared to the amount of new buses registered to them.

http://www.channel8news.sg/news8/singapore/20160429-sg-tower/2743378.html

The number of buses transferred from SMRT was 94. So I expect some buses to remain with SBS for the time being, which I think these buses will most likely be transferred to Go Ahead.

yes... and from the newspaper yesterday, TT CEO was quoted saying that they are operating 26 services with 370 buses.....so guess some of the SBST buses will not go over instead.

doing the maths, around 100-110 SBST buses should be staying and guess they will use these buses to replace those retiring Vo3x instead...

190 used to have crossover trips to 173, 188 (190S154 by SMB5025G) and 970..means now no more such crossover trips..remember someone said this before but seeing the 190 timesheet last night confirm this cutting of the crossover trips..

Brother,60% or more of TT BCs are all fresh with no experience in public bus service.Whatever the company regulations they all follow and adhere.Unlike SBST or SMRT if they are behind schedule they just overtook the front bus and kapo all the passengers until a certain stop where its back to normal.TT BCs front bus already lambat yet the rear one didnt want to overtake fearing BOCC will penalise them..They die2 follow schedule one..

Be it new or experienced, I think it doesn't affect leh...

Note that I have mentioned "LTA" rather than TTS...because TTS is simply a puppet of LTA uh..so is SMRT/SBST/Go-Ahead...

Recently, there's plenty of complains over the 10km/hr speed on bus 77..even the bc is pissed when the BOCC ask them to slow down even more...check out the TTS fb page. I think if TTS is given full control of the frequency, maybe they will perform better.

Today is Joo Koon Bus Interchange's 201th day of revenue service! icon_biggrin.gif

Based on my observations today, it seems that over 90% of the buses at Joo Koon are Double Decker, while less than 10% are Single Decker. icon_smile.gif

Only services 99 and 256 use Single Decker buses; the rest of the bus services enjoy 100% Double Decker deployment. icon_lol.gif

The bus models at Joo Koon comprises of ~77.3% Volvo B9TL Wright, ~10.6% Volvo Olympian 3-Axle, ~6.1% Scania K230UB, ~3.0% Volvo B9TL CDGE, ~1.5% Mercedes-Benz Citaro and ~1.5% Volvo B10M. icon_biggrin.gif

Of the Volvo B9TL Wrights, ~56.9% are batch 3, ~17.6% are batch 4, ~17.6% are batch 2 and ~7.8% are batch 1. icon_smile.gif

Temporary measures until Sv 143 officially handed over. They (BRBP) handed the BR 143 buses over, but the control for those slots on Sv 143 are still under BRBP for now. That's why you've gaps to fill.

The 5 SDs x-ferred from BNDEP are temporary measures to plug the gaps. So if they can miraculously dig out other SPs to sub the gaps on Sv 143 each day, then those x-ferred SDs are free to roam around. (which is why you see 1166L on 145, 5082G on 26 etc)

But the main purpose of those 5 ex-BN ones sent to BRBP, is to plug the gaps for BR 143 for now.

Yeaps, June 12 (this Sunday). Along with Sv 66, 78, 79, 97, 97e. Which is why I said that it was a temp measure. What BRBP does after that with those 5 ex-BN SDs, that is another issue alr
