I dont get transfer nowadays and why the duty transfer like very weird one and not structured at all.
I wonder what is next on their sleeve, 67/188 going WLDEP maybe
What is the different of 854 going wldep comparing to 851/855? N they have to consider the fleet as well when making transfer. If transfer 851 they need to bring oc over. If transfer 855 then have to bring citaro over. If they dun bring these buses over then wat is the point of transferring these 2 services?
Why all the smrt converted air con training buses are AMDEP based in sgwiki? Who edited it?

Err bro why not 851 bendies goes to Wldep and 855 can use WL MANs?

* SMB1343P is still WL 961, why edited back to WL SP? I see it every fking day it's on 961 without fail and it's doing full day!
* TIB481C might need confirmation if it's back... Any spare bus can just be on cameo split slot be it Duty-10 or whatsoever! Furthermore, it did 961 for 1 of the days each, on 2 weekends instead of weekdays!
Don't just say "Apparently TIB1234T's info is false"! That's because it was really out of 961 that's why i stated it unless it was last minute comeback!

i know..thats why 592R is also on my cameo list on sunday. what i meant was 592R was coincidentally on 190 duty 10 when i boarded it on sunday night. so was just thinking. Cos bus transfers may not service specific. like last time, if i didnt rmb wrongly, not all the 190 AMDEP buses came to 190 KJDEP and similarly, not all 176 KJDEP went to 176 WLDEP, if u get what i meant..

If 854 parks over at WLDEP = They don't have to 'compete' to wait for refuel and drive over for overnight parking. (Very evident that the first 3-4 duties reach YI atleast 2330-2445) They can just throw their buses at WLDEP and return home straight.
854 full AMDEP = That means longer waiting time, especially buses which requires adblue like our dear citaros and OC lining up which would take very long if there are atleast 10 buses which requires adbule. (If 27J 45G 48Z 49X went over to WLDEP = finish )
If 851 855 went over to WLDEP which means given WLDEP's bad history of scheduling they are better off in AMDEP (They can't even take care of 167M and 172Y in the first place.)
But seriously Amdep lacks capacity.Kjdep have to wait Wenya and only option now is Wldep and Wlbp.What i mean IF Wldep takes over Yishun not only Amdep can free more spaces in fact they can also part control CBD and eastern svc.Like 171 & 851 Amdep can take 10 duties 853,855 & 857 can minor control,854 remains.Service like 75,106,169,960,966,970 all can take 5 duties each.
they should have control the whole yishun feeder service + 812. and why no OC And Citaro spotted on WLDEP? Just man buses.seriously they should transfer those OC & Citaro doing training bus or spare bus back to WLDEP.

WLDEP got no adblue tank,that is why no citaros and OC spotted at WLDEP
WLDEP no adblue for now that why new MAN starting from SMB249K to SMB354P and SMB1301K to SMB1400H onwards are WLDEP

I think that 855 needs more buses, because its frequency is quite poor. When one bus leaves Harbourfront, it would take a while before the next bus comes into the lot. This shorten's the BC's break at Harbourfront... It's worse when two buses bunch up at Harbourfront...
Does 855 have a high demand during peak hours? There must be a reason for the shortage of buses. 855 is like 852 a bit. At HBF the bus is never crowded at night time unlike 963/188 wich is always crowded that i am normally lucky to get a bendy.

855 does have a good demand. It is a very unique route. It is the only route that connects Lower Delta Road and Jalan Bukit Merah (Henderson road side) to Queensway. AM you can see from Farrer Rd MRT a huge number of people boarding 855 to Bukit Merah. PM peak also good load from Bukit Merah to Thomson. The loading here is around 60 pax.
The heaviest load for 855 comes on Upper Thomson / YCK Road. It is one of the few buses connecting this segment of YCK road to city and Upp Thomson road (other option 163 till Macritchie). Also it connects Upper Thomson and YCK Road to Yishun (again one of the few services to connect to Yishun). Others like 851/852 go via Marymount Rd.

How the frequency then, Does it warrant more buses since it got its first BSEP lately?

No need extra buses,Convert 1 split into full day then peak hours crossovers 2 buses from other service is enough.855 demand mostly where SBST bus svc plies.If front no SBST buses then jialat lor.I drive 855 several times during my stint with SMRT last time.

What to do?Actually these 5 buses can give Amdep handle more efficient.Off svc from NBR also not far.

dun think that refilling of adblue take very long and will affect the queue at all. with or without ad blue the queue are still there...
