BBDEP capacity is only 305 buses,That's why they have ARBP as sub bus park.
Go ahead will continue to use SBST BC for sv358 until year end.

Hi mr lemon1974, why like that? Go Ahead Singapore cannot even control 24 bus services on its own but still go bid for another tender (seletar)? Cheers. Thanks.

I dun think they even stand a chance to win the Seletar Package... Well, it is all up to LTA... I hope my favourite Svc stays with the imcumbent...

Hi mr SBS9256X, hope they do not extend the services for the drivers for service 358 again and again. It is time they put a stop to it and take over 358 (from sbs), 359 (from sbs), 85 (from smrt) permanently. Cheers. Thanks.

they have take back sv85 i think... sv359 will take back this month... but sv358 will be still under SBST until year end.. apparently they hire 80 over BCs for the past two months, but guess it take time to train them...cannot anyhow so fast put them into service..
SBST & SMRT reluctant to hire back former Bus Captain and yet complaining about not enough BCs want to join..Duh!

That is actually faster than the expected timeline that they had set back then, they originally said they were going to use SBS and SMRT drivers for 3 months, and now, just less than 2 months after the problem surfaced, they are going to stop using SMRT and SBS (even though it is just for 359 for now), so in any case, its a sign that they are determined to resolve this asap.

Hi mr sbs351M, they originally said going to use sbs and smrt drivers for 2 months. Not 3 months. As they are almost going to reach 2 months, they give out news that they continue to use sbs drivers for 359 till end of year which exceeds the 2 months. So there is not much determination to resolve all within 2 months. So you misinterpret the timeline wrongly. Cheers. Thanks.
21st November Svc 85 and Svc 359 taken back..So left with 15 odd SBST BCs for Svc 358 until year end..They have to play safe..Only 90 newbies joining.

Hi mr carbikebus, you missed the gist of the issue. It is more of an impression on Go Ahead reputation to resolve issues according to their given timeline rather than sbst want to make noise or not. Nothing to do with my butt. I need to clarify sbs351M remarks of 3 months since he stated wrongly. You are a Go Ahead employee but you also need to be objective about issues. Cannot side track like your comments above. Cheers. Thanks.

Standby BCs are not allowed to transfer..Only perm svc BCs are allowed and they have choice to follow or not.
How come 963 is under Sembawang-Yishun Package?

Anyway future Amdep will be shifted to Mandai.
Did GA just receive 3 new DDs and 2 new SDs, or are they for storage?
Anyway my guess,963 will be under Wldep package instead with more svc amendments.
My guess there will be Kranji depot replacement with capable of storing 500 buses.
Woodlands depot will be refurbish and bus park will be demolish.
Mandai will replace Ang Mo Kio totally.
S61 will be cut short to New Bridge Rd Ter from Bt Batok.
S67 will be CCK looping at Lavender St back to CCK.
S167 Sembawang to Shenton Way.
S961 will be Woodlands to New Bridge Rd.
There will be a new terminal at Marsiling which will be under Woodlands package.

SG5157,5158 & 5159 all in LG with GA stickers.
I have yet to see SG1189 and 1190.

Might be for svc 68.I know all 68 fleet will be SG plate buses.
It has been a while since BCM started. Just wondering, will the SBS-prefix and SMB-prefix buses re-register to SG-prefix, or remain the same?
CT18 (the one at Bedok Reservoir Road) is still in operation!
Just saw a Mercedes Benz with "CT18" driving pass me.
By the fact that it's not in the negotiated contract, is there a possibility that they will re-launch this route as a new route in future?
