  So is it something like the HG feeders becoming PAC and eventually FAC before they formed the current trunk services or becoming FAC right away?

  Nope, all the while HG feeders were PAC using NAC MK2s even when they formed the current 112 and 113. They turned FAC only after all the MK2s were gone.

  101 used the NAC Scania N113CRBs from AMDEP or BRBP, but I think it turned FAC after Serangoon went under HGDEP.

  for 112 and 113 they still using the NAC MK2s @ dat time only later they  converted most of this NAC MK2s buses to air-con buses and continued doing on this svcs until the end .

  @ dat time svc like 74 132 147 153 165 also all using this VO2X b4 on this svcs .

  I might as well have asked why LKY decided to change his car?

  That would be the 90s I suppose.

  There weren't perm VOs on 322 in the 2000s as far as I remember.

  And for the record, 147 was FAC in the 2000s also. Along with 132 and 153. Only 74 and 165 were PAC into the 2000s.

  But by early 2000s, 165 became FAC with the gradual withdrawal of 0305. 74 became the dumping area for the remaining 0305s, and then the VO2X.

  Also less known is the fact that 74 and 147 had occasional LO3X cameos throughout the 2000s.

  147 was among one of the several trunk services that was converted to FAC in June 1998. I believe no more VO2x were deployed ever since then.

  132 remained as PAC until somewhere in 2001. There were no notices being put up that 132 went FAC.

  165 went FAC only after the NEL rationalisation in Jul 2003. Even though the 0305s were phased out in 2001, the VO2x still continued to appear. If I am not wrong 153 was also the same scenerio as 165.

  74 continued to have NAC VO2x till Jun 2010 until BBDEP finally transferred out all the NAC VO2x to SLBP.

  74 and 147 had LO3x cameo due to the fact that BBDEP had LO3x that time. Forgot when all the LO3x were transferred out...

  Could be SBS3281L case that time. It was at tamp Int after cameoing on 72 and a B1 Wright of Sv10 brokedown and 3281L was the replacement...

  Maybe this is emergency pullover?

  I once saw SBS9268L on 132 before when it was still BNDEP 8 but the deployments was still BNDEP that time.

  Actually IMO, currently 101 running on a very regular frequency from SGI towards Buangkok.

  Instead of ADD, i suggest more downroute to be make from HCI. perhaps 101A. For ADD, i personally find it unnesscessary though. Loading might not justify when ASD able to take all
