Missing Buses - Getting down to Fleet Deployment (Part 2)
-
SBS2723K (HG SP) got 159 perm svc guide cutouts. It was on 43 today though. But why suddenly more and more buses got the 159 svc guide cutouts? Somemore 159 already got 3 extra buses already.
According to my observations, these are the missing buses on 159: SBS2733G SBS2745Y SBS2751D SBS2766L SBS2824C SBS6400R. I only spotted 19 buses running, is there a reduced fleet during ITE holidays?.
I have spotted SBS2733G, SBS2745Y SBS2751D running on other services a few times already, suspect these buses are still spare. And SBS6400R does not even seem to appear on 159 at all.

Haha which 159 BC sia. How did he manage to paste on all the 159 buses and cameos, unless he got together with all the 159 BCs.
At this rate the whole of HGDEP SD bus fleet gonna be deployed on 159.
I am gonna ask, does 159 operate at a reduced fleet during ITE school holidays?
-
yup ! should hv during ITE school holidays same to 72 & 88 also .

People claimed that SBS2660H was perm 159 but it was not. It was just the stickers.

Why did the BCs get so many guides?

TIB808U?

Not sure. Maybe when they replaced the guides with the new version the BCs kept the whole stack of old guides, and pasted it on the buses they drive thinking its perm or something (or perhaps an initiative to let the passengers know that they are on a 159 bus).
Boarded SBS2751D today on 27, all the 159 stickers have been removed. Anyways those that are not perm/redeployed will have the stickers removed eventually.

Anyone seen SBS886L (CG 39) recently on Sv 39 or elsewhere? This bus mysteriously disappeared from its usual timings since about 1.5 weeks ago, and I have not spotted it elsewhere so far.
If no one spotted it elsewhere, then high chance it's parked somewhere in BNDEP awaiting de-reg already till August.. -

By the way, I believe SBS Transit or ComfortDelgro would have already released a tender to sell de-registered buses around late June or a few days ago.

SBS2630U was never perm 159, but it has a torn 159 sticker. It did not have the sticker previously.

What do you mean by 'got together with all the 159 BCs'?

Maybe he gave a set of stickers to the other 159 BCs, and ask them to stick on the 159 buses that they drive.

159 will eventually have over 100+ perm buses if this goes on and the stickers are not peeled.

Anyone knows where 8063S and 8118T has gone to? I believe it is running somewhere and not to spare.
I do know on 14 side it is likely 3742Z is perm. Seem like no more SD perm on BB side.
-
Anyone know what happened to SMB58U? Has been missing for close to 2 months already...
On the other hand, SMB212R, which is also missing for a month already, i heard its lying in KJDEP?? Still not yet repaired from accident?

Oh yeah, I forgot to reply to your reply from weeks ago. Anyway, still no sign of 886L in BNDEP's Lay-up area last week. In fact, there wasn't any VO3xs even when I past by. Just the normal Citaros, KUBs & B9TLs..
I have a feeling they parked some of the gone-case buses in CGBP for good though to clear up space in BNDEP..

Don't think MK4s will get another 6 month extension coming this August or September...by the way, AMDEP has yet to clear its lay up corner of buses...899A 9370Z 9378C 9389X are among those I can identify, they are still parked there even though they are laid up in May!
