222,240,285,291,293 & 334 justified for DDs due to travelling times,stops and pattern.265 & 268 can also use DDs..but for 225 etc duh..im not againts DDs but looking at their style its just wasted resources..I know 241 & 225 got high loadings but again how many percentage in a trip do you see many ppl board upstairs?241 due to traffic lights and exiting times from Boon Lay..and its super packed so bo pian have to go up but during off peak most of them just clogged downstair like no one business
no bendy for tamp please. i happy even 969 now get dd. soon 67 have dd. tamp int too crowded for bendy. i wan see more dd on 67 and 969 and no more bendy.
Tampines no need bendies la,292 can do well with its improved frequencies..291 is over pampered with DDs,293 is just fine..67 and 969 all no need bendies.Boon Lay bo pian,too many svc,not so big ITH.
sv 133 got a DD fleet add, now running with 22 buses, 12 DDs, 10 SDs.
This fleet add is not-BSEP but from SBST side.
2 services had fleet downgrade
sv 139 lost its BSEP DD 3343 (this was predicted earlier that it was lost once 139M was introduced, confirmed now)
sv 166 lost one more DD slot to SD (with a fleet of 4 SDs in early 2014 to now fleet of 7 SDs in early 2015).
I think reason for 166 losing DDs is other options available along its belt such as 132/165 having duplication until Thomson/Macritchie from AMK.
851/980 duplication until Little India
124/143 for Harbourfront
97/963 until Kent Ridge
14 until Clementi.
67 and 960 and receive DDs from 15 Feb and 16 Feb respectively. For 960, the DDs will be deployed on weekdays only

3836L 3840Z (2 Wrights) replaced 8042C 8775X (2 KUBs). It's for real.

Hahaha like i predict anyhow huntum
6529D (HGDEP BSEP >> HGDEP 315)
sv 315 now in total has got 4 BSEP buses added. Just 3 months back another 2 BSEP buses were added to this service. Loading still continues to be very high. Many thought 116 will take away the load from 315 from Serangoon North area, but 315 gets packed loads from Serangoon North Ave 1. If you go to see, it is quite an inconvenience to people living here who have to take long winding route to MRT. Route planners should have diverted 116 via SGN North Ave 1. Service would definitely have done well (contrary to today) and reduced load on 315.
6532T (AMDEP BSEP >> BRBP 235)
6533R (AMDEP BSEP >> BRBP 235)
Latest trend of BSEP to give 2 buses in one go to feeder services.
61 will get another DD and its a fleet add
67 currently have 4 and will convert from 3 bendy slots to 3 DDs
187,1 SD convert to DD
190 will have 2 bendy slots to 2 DDs
Info from SMRT friends

Tdy again, 2 DDs + 1 SD for 187 BSEP... 3547E, 3560R, 3032Z... However, loading still too much in the evening for ITE students...
187 really need more than 6 DDs to be frank.What is the use of 26 buses if only 2 DDs and 4 bendy buses?

IMO, 187 is so crowded throughout most part of its journey that if it was under SBST it would have 18 DDs, 7 SDs. Fleet of 25 buses okay but need 75% DDs. It would have also helped relieve the loading on sv 98.

y bsep no give one bus first and see if okay and then add another. i see same done on 291, 358 and 359 also. at one go give 2 more bus. first give one, if one not enuf give another. some svc like 358 do not need two bsep.

i observe 187 always bus pack. i wonder y have only rigid. i know there bendy and double decker but never see much. most time i spot single decker and it pack to step.

I think even 291 would have been okay with just 1 BSEP bus. Now you have P service + 16 buses (way too much!)
4 more buses converted to E500 from SMRT side
5029X, 5030R, 5032K, 5033H all posted to sv 190 perm. Suspect 5038U also will be sv 190 perm.
SMRT reduced capacity on sv 187... hahahaha... we have been talking about 187 getting more DDs/bendies... and here they do it again just like they did to 172.
So 4 bendies + 1 BSEP DD to now 3 bendies + 1 BSEP DD.
What the HELL are they doing?
On other end, SBST has surplus DDs that there are DDs in excess for some services now.
Such big contrasts!
Another SHOCKER!!
On 964, BSEP upgrade MANA22 slot to DD, SMRT downgraded bendy slot to MANA22...
SMRT is just fooling people!! Don't you guys think so... or do you feel it is okay to show improvement under BSEP and then downgrade from their side (silently).
CHEATS!!
