Then you will have to introduce 860M. 119 could have actually been merged with 113, since LTA/SBS anyway don't consider 113 to be an important service.
IMHO 119 should just merge with 113 and 53M, loop at NEX, do Hougang St 11 in both directions and use red/white plates... No need for 53M at all

yes that was a suggestion made long time back... I think LTA does not want to take the risk of taking 113 away... as some might complain even though SBS/LTA deem it to be useless... given its frequency.
113 also could have on its own been extended to loop at NEX.. but it still didn't do that bcoz they don't see the value of adding more buses on 113.. especially for the Kovan - Hougang loop... To think of it during 113A operating hours, 113 frequency between Kovan and Hougang is +20 mins... and can get worse if one bus is delayed... but still since it is only a secondary service... no one complains.
Even from Kovan... you can see 113A buses departing with 35-40 pax during PM peak (of course there could be some time slots, when the bus might get around 50-55 pax)

Great.. thought it will be from tomorrow, but already... good news... hope PTO also converts SD slot to DD on 854... it was fleet of 24 buses in past with majority bendy fleet... after bendies were slyly downgraded to SD slots.. MAN buses have been added... taking fleet size to 29 buses
Time to bring the fleet size back to 26 buses... with 18 HC and 8 SDs.
Today only got 1 BSEP DD on 854. IMO maybe tomorrow 3 more production batch DDs will deploy on 854 since the remainimg 2 production patch on AMDEP 857 slot. So I guess the other BSEP DD will be on 860 tomorrow or later

Maybe tomorrow both BSEP will go to 854. Lets see. Doesnt make sense to give 860 just 1 BSEP DD.
Any spottings today?
3605 & 5077 today on 854

Might be replacing those 2 BSEP A22s..I hope that another DD will replace one more A/P A22 also.

Yeah i heard of,Maybe just a temporary until Sungei Seletar is ready?If its true then nice,Double decker and bendy buses can park there.You can try to feedback SMRT Buses for this just as i feedback regarding AMDEP to accomodate DDs few months back.

But I saw 3604 and 3605 on 854 today. Might be the production batch one
3604/3605 split shift or what?If no then its probably the production units.I am still inside the building for an interview.
