  3258E - 53 pax boarded, of course there were already few coming from Kovan/Serangoon, so assuming pax must be 70+ easily.

  (after 08 mins) 2675R (i think it was this one coz I was busy counting pax)- 39 pax boarded. From the looks of it, last few people had difficulty to board, so around 30-40 pax must have come from before already.

  So clearly, the DDs on 101 seem to be taking the load pretty well atleast from HCI onwards.

  What time? During AM or PM Peak?

  SMRT trolling with commuter feedback on fb page. Got to see this. The person who feedback thought 302 was operated by SBST or so, so he wrote dear sbs, and SMRT knew that 302 is operated by them but they even said to check SBS website to complain. SMRT srsly is trolling with the commuter's feedback. This was on the did you know...... thread too.

  sgwiki states 1 extra BSEP bus for sv 45. Now that is bizarre. Is it a fleet add or replacement?

  Writeup on Scania K230UB demonstrator SBS8033D.

  It'll be refreshing if ‪#‎SBS‬ ‪#‎Transit‬ uses a combination of red and purple for their interior for most of their new ‪#‎buses‬ as compared to the light brown interior colour theme.

  Most probably TIB968R replace TIB433S for peak hour duties on 300. 2nd day on 300. Saw in the morning and evening. I was so close to boarding it!

  SGWIKI:

  SMRT 300
  
  1 missing bus. (Might be TIB1202K or 433S)
  
  Duty 190S156 (Bus: TIB1108A) will perform crossover trips on Service 300, subsequently will perform one (1) supplementary trip on last bus of Service 190A and then back to Choa Chu Kang for Service 190.

  Lets see if people catch 1108A
  
  Duty 300S150 (Bus: TIB1202K) will perform crossover trips on Service 188 during Weekdays AM Peak.
  
  Now people can catch this bus on 188...
  
  EDIT: WHOA! now 300 have lesser buses than 302!

  I agree. 45 doing well with 6 DDs now. No need for DD add. Max, should have converted 1 SD slot to DD.

• BusAnalayzer

  48 is actually a good candidate for DDs. Bedok North Depot to Little India can ply.

  50 years later maybe too much ‪#‎flooding‬ + ‪#‎ponding‬ cannot use ‪#‎Sampan‬ then public transport's Sampan Boat Service (SBS) and SampanMRT(SMRT) become Submarine Boat Service (SBS) & SubmarineMRT (SMRT) -_-;.

  A Malaysian bus captain from service 5 was killed in an accident in BKE towards PIE while on his way to work. I suppose he might be from BNDEP.

  Sv 50 has 1 bus less now. Plying only 14 buses (9DDs, 5 SDs). 1 HGDEP BSEP DD gone to SP. So everyone was speculating 119 will lose DDs but sv 50 lost one while 119 still has its two

  This post is meant to correct some errors that I found in sgwiki with regards to the duties for Intra-town 307 and feeder 302.

  1. Think I mentioned before that 307 only has 6 full AM/PM shifts, though it has 7 perm AM/PM buses. On any one day, one perm bus will not be on 307 coz the driver will be on rest. Pls kindly remove duty 307AP07, which does not exist. Similar to 302, only has 6 AP/PM shifts (inclusive BSEP) but 7 perm full AM/PM buses.

  2. SMB1329G is on duty 971ES104, not 307S102 as mentioned on sgwiki. Today SMB224G was on this slot and I managed to glance at the duty code.

  3. SMB3045L is on 302AP90, not 302S190 as mentioned in sgwiki. It will change shift at cck int at around 3pm everyday.

  Pls do note and edit accordingly.

   

  Anyway, just a side note, should we have a new forum title that records all the duties that the bus is on? Example, SMB121U is on 985AP01 today. Especially now service like 963 very messy due to retiring buses..may be useful in indentifying which bus perm based on the slots. How? Just a suggestion. :)

  Umm, I created a 'Fleet of the Day' thread, but it died after 7 posts... So, I don't know if I should create another thread showing the buses on a certain service (I like to use 169 weekend slots) in the order the slots are arranged...  [BTW, I only know that the duty of 169TQ1 (TIB779U on weekends) comes after 169AP07(TIB815Z on weekends) and that the slot before 169AP07 (TIB815Z on weekends) is for a random bus...]
