Ok so basically 189 got downgraded from 6 DDs, 7 SDs to 2 DDs, 11 SDs. Consistent with my observation 2 weeks back when I spent time in Bukit Batok industrial area.
I think it is okay though given that frequency is superb after cutting short the route from Kent Ridge, yet maintaining same number of buses. In my observation, in Bukit Batok st 21/ave 6, 189 comes every 03 minutes due to 189/189A. Opposite direction towards Clementi Ave 1, have bus every 06 minutes. Superb frequency.

When SBST xfer 83 to GAS,Its only 8 SDs based on their deployment..Its LTA that supply those DDs.AMDEP xfer 15 SDs and 2 DDs for svc 136 to GAS.I am one of the BCs which involved in the mass transfer.

Surprisingly 301 has not got the massive rigid fleet add, instead SMRT has been smart on this one to upgrade to bendies.
172 got one more fleet add, now operating with 19 buses. Got bendy fleet add.
Peak frequency = 05 mins from both directions.
Is it because Old CCK Road has more developments recently?
sv 190 also got another 2 fleet add, operating with 44 buses now. Frequency is at 02-03 mins during peak hours. Amazing for a long trunk route.
sv 972 also got another 2 DD fleet add. Now operating with 31 DDs at frequency of 04-05 mins during peak hours.

Looks like 700 is ready to die.

Probably because of the Sungei Tengah Lodge dormitory starting to fill up, resulting in higher foreign labour pax during peak hours along Old CCK Rd.

Not sure. 700 got a DD fleet add, now operating with 18 buses
960 got 6 buses added, mostly DDs in the last 3 months, operating with 35 buses.
Basically, the entire BPJ -> CBD services have got major fleet add/capacity upgrade in terms of DDs. 700 lesser than 190, 960, 972 but still got.

Today evening,quite a number of DD svc using single decker..Usually those svc 3,34,119 going OS to Lydep.Exchange with DD then we kapo the SD.43,83,85 & 118.
Unusual services have got fleet add in this round.
svc 75 - 2 rigids added (could they have considered upgrading to DD instead?)
svc 178 - 2 rigids added (fleet of 20 SDs). This should be to improve frequency but not related to loading, as many times buses get stuck at Woodlands checkpoint.
svc 700 - 2 bendies converted to DDs. Now operating with 4 DDs.
svc 852 - 1 SD fleet add to improve frequency
svc 985 - 2 SDs added (to boost frequency)
