  Okay, I need someone who knows the duties of Sv 17 well to help me with this..

  So I know that Sv 17 should have 10 full-day buses (1A-9A /10P-18P, 81A/82P is 3009H after swapping duties with 9631X) and 5 S shifts. (these 5 should be 949P 986G 8330X 9316G 9631X?).
  
  I just need someone to help me verify the slot duties occupied by the different Sv 17 permers again in between for the full-days, cause I haven't had the chance to observe the fleet's duties for quite some time. And they did swap around some SD slots into DD slots between themselves..Thanks if someone could help me! 

  i think the sv 17 i/c is serving the nation now..

  What would be the earliest time a bus will leave their depot for their respective svc and the latest time a service can reach their depot after their last bus? Any examples?

  I wanna ask, the BSEP buses like the citaros, are they registering the 63xx using those citaros that are meant for normal registration first? Same goes for the wright bus and MAN buses,...

  All those unregistered citaros 
  Example, SBS6169J, SBS6177K, etc.
  
  are registered under BSEP.
  
  Yep it is the same for wright and MAN but still unclear which original regoed bus they using since the registration of both of them are still ongoing.

  So will they register back those unregistered buses that weren't for BSEP?

  There was one ett revision for all days on 17/09, is it related to overnite parking? So are there 2 overnite parking slots now or still one?

  You pay more to CBD, thinking for a more comfortable ride, only to be surrounded by a whole bunch of ppl swarming around you, and ending up in STOMP for not giving your seat to the needy. 

  So premium right?

  Why a speed limit of 60km/h?

  I honestly think 60km/h for buses on the expressway is ridiculous, the limit should be at least 70km/h... Perhaps gov't can relook this regulation.

  Taking 27 or 858 can really be painful sometimes, seeing the bus cruise at such a leisurely pace. It makes the journey unbearably long.

  We have always been trying to make our transportation system more efficient, but nothing has ever been done about raising the speeds on the expressway!

  However, with more Voith 4-speed buses being introduced I am not quite sure if increasing the limit would have any effect - the Citaro engine seems to be at really high RPM at around 60km/h, and I am not sure how much faster it can go!

  PS: just my 2c, criticism welcome :)

  Personally, I feel its too ok to drive on expressway at 70km/h, but not on main roads. This however is not that easy to enforce.

  Also, not all expressway services will be able to make use of the speed (especially sbst ones) due to their scheduling constraints. One such example is the relaxed timetable on svc 97 during weekends, forcing the BCs to drive at around 40km/h on the AYE.

  Agree with 858 issue. At first I was thinking 858 was a faster alternative to CGA, but then I realised that 858 is DIRECT, not FAST, which is why I kinda stopped my 86 ---> 858 routine nowadays.
