From my observations that SMRT feeders had been getting more rigids lately, it seems that SMRT wants to use the HC buses for trunks (but for 851 idek why it's getting bendy downgrade). Because for feeders, it's only mostly a short ride and people won't stand that long. But for trunk routes, there is a mix of long distance and short distance travellers so people might prefer a seat.
Just my opinions, what do you guys think?

Dunno what to say..They should deploy at least 1 A24 to their feeders/and intratowns together with their A22s and O405Gs.Pity those PIW have to wait so long for WAB Buses.Till now svc like 67,169,176,190,960,969 still spammed with bendy buses?
Examples:S800(9 buses) 4 O405Gs,4 A22s & 1 A24.
S903(9 buses) 4 O405Gs,3 A24s & 2 A22s.
S900(9 buses) 4 O405Gs,4 A22s & 1 A24.
S901(9 buses) 4 O405Gs,4 A22s & 1 A24.
S911(16 buses) 10 A22s,5 O405Gs & 1 A24.
S912(18 buses) 8 O405Gs,7 A22s & 3 A24s.
S913(16 buses) 7 O405Gs,6 A22s & 3 A24s.
S300(9 buses) 4 O405Gs,4 A22s & 1 A24.
S302(12 buses) 5 O405Gs,5 A22s & 2 A24s.
S804(10 buses) 4 O405Gs,4 A22s & 2 A24s.
S806(13 buses) 6 O405Gs,4 A22s & 3 A24s
S811(18 buses) 6 O405Gs,10 A22s & 2 A24s.
S812(12 buses) 5 O405Gs,6 A22s & 1 A24.

But 16 doesn't have DDs (probably due to Joo Chiat).
I mean 851 is the only service there with DD potential but has not received DD yet...

That means 33 can have DDs too?

33 idk liao. I seen DD travelled thru narrow roads before like Serangoon Garden
Joo Chiat has narrow roads with buildings close to the road, more damages when there is an accident.
However, the tree might not be an issue as 103 has a tree in a similar position at Yishun Ave 6 > Ave 1 turn twd Sgoon but it is clear for DD
perhaps that is not the case. Remember when someone sent a list of places with no DD clearance? Henderson Rd was one of them due to low trees (although it has been some time since that was published)
Hi i am new to the forums. Anyway, today i spotted ex KJ bendies TIB1027A and TIB1204E along the Marymount Rd stretch on 851.
I would say since last week, ex KJ bendies have been seen frequently on 851 in a unfixed rolling deployment. (TIB1150/1212/1027 etc). I dont see the usual AMDEP bendies like (1096/1099/1112/1113/1147) as frequently since last week. I see no capacity changes to the service which is a pity given how neglected it has been.
Regardless of whether it is DD suitable or not, it should have been upgraded with bendies at the very least.

SMRT svc with DD restriction won’t die one because got bendies to play around mah. SBST ones mampos, fleet add like siao.
851 can use DD imho..Its just that SMRT think that they're losing those Yishun BCM only..See 852 until now also 14 buses.
DD debut for 851 today

U mean there are more than 1 DD? Replace SD or Bendy slot?
I didnt say there are height restrictions along 851 route and didnt think so... someone else did. But thats not important.
851 just one of the last priority for SMRT.
Now lets hopw 167/980 can get some too.

haha yup ik im not referring to you
not sure how many yet (one more lush green one)
5759 on 851. Total saw 4.
Another 2 is lush green on 851..
Any bendies spotted on 851 aside from the 4 A95's? If no, then it may be direct HC swap.
2 a95 on 851 now together along lentor ave to yishun
5744 5795

Next week then we know.After this 167 and 980 turn.

For me,Its enough if they just deploy 5-6 A95s rather than deploy those bendies.Some BCs also say its quite stressful driving bendies in CBD especially if there is jams
