And a number of them sleeping at BPBP.. Include SG5850T as well, it's also part of the training fleet..
Maybe LTA want to borrow SMRT for usage on Shuttle 3? But 30 SD + 1 DD is kinda a lot though..
They train private operator drivers to use Citaro for the shuttle

Think SG5850T Park overnight at sedep? Unless it is another A95 which is under TRG?
so guess some of the SMRT B9 are also under TRG? There is around 5-6 B9 that park together with the TRG citaros in SEDEP. Which is separate from the 7 regoless B9

How many SMRT buses did you notice practice ONP at Sedep?I thought those Yishun svc like 853,854,855 & 857 start to park there?
I rather see SG5850T lease to SBST than SMRT deploy it as TRG bus.

Think so? The previous time I saw SG5850T was with that "TF 30" paper in front..
Unsure about the B9TLs.. I think they're under storage instead?
Difficult to find out the rego since the rear portion got blocked by the barrier..
TTS:27 service using approximately 365-368 buses including jumpbus duties but only have 179 SDs & 188 DDs which total up to 367 buses only.No spare buses except maximise the fleets to the core..Risk of no run trips is greater should any major breakdown occur and can’t recovered in time.
GAS:27 service using more or less 313-316 buses including jumpbus and interlining but have 211 SDs & 210 DDs which total up to 421 buses.Got more than 105 spare fleets which is majority DDs.I wonder why they need so many spare buses?
TTS should at least lease another 8 SDs and 8 DDs to play safe instead of pressuring the engineering team.
GAS should at least return 8-10 units of B9TL to LTA.In return lease 6 more SDs.
KMB already have a few Gemilang bodied B9TL.
Our Euro 6 B8L should be Gemilang bodied with sliding doors.

What my friend told me is SMRT train Woodlands Transport,Aedge and another private operator drivers for the MRT shuttle.They are trained to familiarise with Citaro,B9TL and A95.
Citaros and B9TLs is the BCM mainstream fleets,Every operators have it in their stable.
Why not make A22 & A95 mainstream fleets also?
Go-Ahead can take 10 SG A22 from SMRT.
Tower Transit take a few A95?
SBST would need another 250 new DDs and 50 SDs if their B10M,B10BLE,Volvo B10TLs,Tridents & B9TL Euro 3 were to earlier retirement.
SMRT would need another 100 new DDs if their balance O405Gs were to retired.
Would be great if LTA buy bendies for all operators strictly for feeder or airport compliment usage.
60 to SBST,40 to SMRT,25 each to TTS & GAS.

but 67 is worst. at 12+ close 1am saw 67 buses at TPE SLE twds KJ
I’ve said before,SMRT no need to 100% follow like TTS or GAS.They still have 3 depots to play around.969 also not fully Lydep..3-4 buses will park at Amdep or Wlbp.Less than 33 SMRT buses including 110 park at Lydep everyday.6 DDs/6 bendies and 20/22 SDs.
61 & 67 should have 3-4 3rd/2nd/last car to Eunos/Tampines park at Lydep instead
Unsure how long the amendment was made but
Punggol Temp Int traffic lights timing changed such that it turns green after the pedestrians crossed the road..
Previously it was both green light and green man together..

Meaning favour the buses or what?
