  No BNDEP buses at all? That's weird.

  One of the first few trips in the morning (the 0620-0630hrs time range) from Changi Village towards Serangoon is done by a BNDEP bus. Then after a HG bus in between, it is another BNDEP slot towards Serangoon. First bus for 109 from CGV starts from 6am on weekdays.

  BNDEP delayed the handing over of some duties of 48 to them? Cause it's really absurd for the BC of that last trip to drive it all the way back to ARBP, park it, and then head home. I mean, by the time he reach home, almost 3am+ or even much later?

  And then, that last bus has only that short amount of time to rest overnight compared to the rest in the fleet also.

  But don't you think 48 is like too extreme? The last trip terminates right outside BNDEP, it takes less than 30secs to turn into BNDEP from the bus stop outside. 
  For 16 & 196, even if they are going off-service from Bedok Int to BNDEP, still need roughly 10mins if traffic is clear.

  Those going back to ARBP don't have to go in to tap. They already know it's a warzone inside BNDEP after 11.30pm.

  The time BC reach home is taken into account during shift planning and duty allocation...
  buses are not humans do not need to rest, they just need tune up, coolant, the engines are made to withstand the stress/ number of trips that need to be taken daily

  If I'm not wrong, the last bus to reach ARBP after the amendment is only 2 minutes later than before the amendment.
