WLDEP 176 still short of 2 buses since months ago,Reduce duty?
I think Wldep reduce 1 duty but deploy a bendy instead.Always see 1071 or 1156 cameo around.
Originally posted by TIB 585L:1156K normally on 856 or 969. 1071X run around feeders
So which bendy do you usually see?Wldep got an average of 6 bendies incl peak hours leh.

Wait, we talking abt 176 rite? Dont make me confused leh. 176 wldep side bendies always see the 979,983,1154. 982Z and 1090R can see lah but on off coz they split. Plus there are some random bendy from 184 that likes to do 176 or some feeder bendies
Oh yeah,Technically WL 176 got only 13 duties only 1 bendy from 184 suppliment during PM shift.971E bus will cover a few trips of 184 instead.So Wl 176 is 9AM-10PM and 3 S onlyZ
307P (now under wdl transport)
If driver dosen't arrive on time for first trip driver will just eventually skip trip and head to cck ave 3 for layover... Hope with 307A there is better reliability
Originally posted by TIB 585L:Yeah. To be honest, until today i feel weird when half of 176 buses was thrown to Woodlands bus park 4 yrs ago. I was expecting 970 instead back then
Wldep 176 now reduce 1 S shift already...

No wonder i will frequently see PA6516U (and last time was PA7184L) slacking at CCK Ave 3 during 307P operational time...

Yup.
Just sharing my experience. I waited for PC2086J today but as I flagged the bus, BC just drove away. There was a 291 DD in front which already departed bus stop when I flagged but i just said bye bye to the zhongtong as it went past me. Also happened b4 for 307P from my observations at the northvale condo bus stop (very very very few boards there). I believe PPSS BCs are not trained to operate like normal feeders..

i heard they just chiong like nobody's business and sometimes can go MIA also... sometimes during morning peak got like 4 buses of 307/307E but no sign of any 307P in both directions...

Ya this happened before... But stuck in traffic instead and all of them did not cover the missing trip
Originally posted by SMB5007J:Ya this happened before... But stuck in traffic instead and all of them did not cover the missing trip
HAHA! A few times actually..plus 307P likes to follow behind 307/307E also i realise.. so its like u miss a pair of 307/307E and 307P, have to wait for around 10 mins before another pair (sometimes is one 307 one 307E and one 307P) will arrive together.. i ever see two 307E, one 307 and two 307P bunch together.. but then AM peak traffic around CCK is a disaster lah...
Earlier at 6pm.. SG1703L on 979 side n rear EDS both showing 979 but front EDS show Off Service
Today got a 859 B1 MAN A22 engine sound like thunder. Worse than those heavy industry factories.
That is SMB305G

Back to normal as of today...
SMB1422U and SMB3610E log book still state as AMDEP even though transferred
Can some kind souls update SMRT bus deployment from depot regarding the Premium service that already extinct?
