Maybe many foreign workers took it to little India on weekends. For weekend, there are lot of spare DD so can deploy more. Same case as bendies on sv980 on weekend previously. Anyone saw DD on sv66 on mon n tue?

wen 39 get double deck? see weg test in yish temp int from so many month yet no weg on 39. pls soon put.
145 DD bus also not many. only in the morning then see that 3911 towords city. i think service 145 and 66 should have perm DD service the whole operating time daily. what the delay?

Eh, chill leh bro. It'll happen sooner or later. Why the impatience? Will you world die if Sv 39 doesn't have DDs next week? It doesn't help with the image you're giving others here on this forum, seriously.
It's not like SMRT is putting alot of DDs on Yishun svcs too. Only Sv 857 has gotten it so far. It'll happen sooner or later for Sv 39 after the Striders go off. Just wait and see yeah. Especially after 16 May.
66 DD only on wkend no wkday

3 only or maybe 4, cos 7491 is also on sv145 this week...
they have to train the BCs to drove the DDs.. and do you think the BCs are really very free to go learn DDs? they cant spare much time also esp when they still have to drive daily...those A/P shift drivers, can only maybe spare 1 hours to learn daily? imagine u start shift at 5am and drive till 2-3pm and then ask u go learn drive the DDs? u not tired meh?
so it will take time to the BCs to get ready and SBST will slowly deploy more DDs. tat is also why sv190/972/969 etc also slowly adding DDs each month...

Did sv 334 get 2 BSEP WEG additions?

Suddenly KUB --> DD upgrade + 2 BSEP DDs all added in same month for 334.

yes the bseps are confirmed
Svc 23 have full double decker fleet now.

Yes the KUB was no good subsitute to the strider. Expected that slot to get upgraded to DD long time back. Good to see one more bus added to full fleet DD on SBS side. SMRT, when will we see this for your high loading services?
261 BSEP fleet add agn wef last month.... 6540U... now wkday 9 buses....
172 had 1 AP bendy both yesterday and today..will observe again if there is a fleet upgrade to 172 on weekends...
On Saturday, TQ01, a rigid slot, also had a bendy (1037X) while TQ02 had 1030P

Now with excess bendy buses from 67 & 190 they ought to give a couple to 172

hopefully this is a perm arrangement, not just for one week..the AP buses were:
1156K on Sat
1128S on Sun

To be honest,SMRT should focus more on DDs for 172,CCK already so cramp with many bendy buses..

Basically for Sv 23, it was reverted back to its original fleet look of all DDs only.

Lousy management on AMDEP side. Keep adding buses to 261 and 269 to clear queue at AMK. Most bus on return trip empty. Already so much bunching. Had upgraded to DD, would have been good. Wasting so much resource.
851S201 upgraded to bendy wef last wk... Done by 1020T today. (Unsure if it was a swap with another S slot which uses bendy but unlikely i guess)
But is this a sign 851 wont get DD so soon, if not isnt it might as well just transfer to WL and use DD straightaway from next wk like 856? Cos it wasnt even in SMRT press release ytd
