What is wrong with using Wrights for 106 or 189, and Citaros for the BBT feeders?
Or is it because of the livery? Are green A22s often spotted on ex-SBST services?
got what
recently got ADL on 78 79 97 41 49 334 98 143 (actually like everyday at least got 1 bus)
just yesterday saw A22 on 282
saw citaros on 106 173 189 947 941
so basically it is possible. perhaps you can take a look around the west area next time?
to the rest, did ADL do 66 before? yet to see that

1. Wrights are on 106. 189 doesnt even have DDs(mayb a few but i dont c yet). what mskes u think a svc like 189 wikl get Wrights when it doesnt even have majority dds? Citaros have been on 106 and 189.
2. I believe ive seen green a22s on sbst svcs.
3. exsmrt buses have been on ex sbst svcs. like what user azharjj has said, i have personallly also seen ADL, a22 on exsbst svcs. one time i saw 2 ADL on 334 back to back schedule. i hv also taken adl on 97 98 etc. a22s have also been on many svcs like 41 284 96 333 66 etc.
just camp at ints and u can see liao.
whats the diff b/w block and duty
block is eg for tt 189-189-07 (dk whether got hyphen b/w 189 n 07) and i saw duty card 189A07.

Block on DDU for TT is without second hyphen, so like 941-94104, but on duty card is without second number aft hyphen (941-04)
GA one more direct,43-599 meaning svc 43 run no 599...Block will be 40430599

Service 854 is only allocated 2 bendy size lots at Bedok as stated on Land Transport Guru.
Then, where do the rigids and DDs park? Loop at Bedok?
If they park in the bendy lots, it is really a waste of space. They should have allocated 2 bendy and 1 rigid lot for 854.

I just went to Jurong East yesterday. Almost all (>90%) of the SDs were Citaros, even though at least 40% of TT's SDs are A22s.

U wil still see E500 on svcs. As for a22s they are a bit rare(?) in JE.

So duty and block r the same thing just that display diff?
Originally posted by A Bus Observer:So duty and block r the same thing just that display diff?
No,
eg for SBS case: Duty is 1A, block is se-401.
SMRT case: Duty is 123AM90, Block 123-15. 15th block of sv 123.

For SBS,
what does se mean? I rmb seeing sw also, and why 401?
for SMRT,
does block 15 mean anything? like the 15th bus?

shld visit bukit batok as well
BB feeders sometimes got citaro...even 990 also use citaros

se and sw explained by carbikebus already.
401: 4 presents single deck wheelchair accessible bus
01: Block 1
So yes, in simple terms, block numbers are the bus number. 15 would be 15th bus. But its all arbitrary.
947 also seem to have full Citaro fleet, everytime see lush green oneOriginally posted by azharjj:shld visit bukit batok as well

But ever since BCM SMRT block no mess up liao, dont think it refer to the duty position, like 307 have 307-30Originally posted by SBS351M:se and sw explained by carbikebus already.
