Hi.

Thanks for highlighting this.

I believe it would be best to just leave your observations there for now. I will help keep a lookout on this user if he reverts once again.

268B.

Re: Service Page Descriptor

Hi Themystery,

Thank you for your suggestion regarding the bus service page descriptor. I agree that we should aim to create a unique descriptor rather than simply copying and pasting.

I would sincerely appreciate it if you could assist in crafting the unique descriptor or modifying it as needed. As sgWiki is a community-based platform, we highly value your contributions and consider them an invaluable asset.

Hi,

Refer to this [1].

I am trying to be neutral here. In fact, I did point it out which obviously the user didn't heed and choose to do so.

Hi,

There is currently no provision, or else there are lots of editors who will going to flamed me at discord/youtube/facebook for it, with me already having a bad reputation for enforcing the rule instead of following their nonsense.

Regarding your concerns, I believe that all editors should come into consensus regarding the labeling of such depot. I believe there is confusion now is because of the mixture of tendered package and negotiated package, and either party wished to standardised in one form or another.

This was also an issue when the BYD BC12A04 was first launched. The senior editors would prefer to use AMDEP 86 because it was controlled and park at AMDEP, but the junior editors would prefer to use SWDEP 86 due to "leasing" and part of BCM. So there is a conflict, where 86 is in tendered package - meaning it can operates from any depot based on SBS Transit liking (but obviously from an economic point of view, SBS Transit would not put 86 to furthest depot such as BBDEP or BNDEP).

In my opinion, I would prefer to use the original method, to list the secondary depot (instead of primary) for services that overnight parking at secondary depot. This way, no need to put things like "All buses practices overnight parking at secondary depot", because at one glance - it is from the secondary depot (and from the respective bus package page, can also infer from which is the main depot)

BRBP

I saw what u wrote at Supernutorcrazy's Talk Page and I just want to say that the reason why we use the primary depot is because of 's slot system.

On the Driver's Display Unit (DDU) for buses on the top right corner there will be a block number, e.g. 88-hg-321. As you can see in the example the slot uses the abbreviation for Hougang Depot, back then there was also a slot for Braddell Bus Park so that's why some buses have BRBP as their deployments. Due to the closure if Ang Mo Kio Depot, Braddell Bus Park was given to Hougang Depot to continue their operations but as an overnight parking facility due to lack of proper equipment to function as a depot and it was also used to house ComfortDelgro's Taxis at some part of the Parking Facility. To prevent public outrage and for Supernutorcrazy to not get flamed by the community, in the former deployments we write BRBP instead of AMDEP, mostly due to the Bus Contacting Model and 's way of organising their fleet, however in the case of the CGBP deployments, these were made before the Bus Contracting Model and the Driver's Display Unit existed, so editors use their secondary depot to prevent confusion. Now, a lot of buses practice overnight parking at bus parks or depots, due to space concerns or organisation, such as the Bukit Panjang Feeders which park at Woodlands Bus Park, Some Boon Lay services under are parked at Bulim Bus Depot. Like the services mentioned they are not controlled by the depot they park at but their original depot they came as part of their Bus Contracting Model Package.

Opinion

Hi,

I would like to seek your opinion on the following proposed changes:

1. Launch of sgWiki Bus Spotting Page A new page will be created daily and automatically deleted a month later. For example, "Bus Spotting/1 February 2025" would be removed on 1 March 2025. This page is intended to allow editors to document bus registration numbers without the typical edit limitations, enabling infinite edits.

The primary objective is to encourage collaboration among editors and to improve the accuracy of bus deployment data in relation to their permanent services. Many users have noted that the deployment page contains inaccurate and outdated information. By using these pages, we aim to track bus operations more effectively and allocate the correct permanent services, without requiring editors to board the buses to verify duty schedules.

2. Use of Subpages for Bus Model Deployment I have received considerable feedback, mostly criticism, regarding the separation and consolidation of bus advertisements across models. Most complaints focus on advertisement changes rather than deployment accuracy, which contributes to the aforementioned inaccuracies. As such, I propose reorganising the Bus Model deployment using subpages as follows:

Example: Volvo B9TL (WEG Batch 2) will be divided into four subpages:

1. Volvo B9TL (Wright Eclipse Gemini 2) (Batch 2)/Page 1 – (Low Entry, SBS7700T – SBS7729L)
2. Volvo B9TL (Wright Eclipse Gemini 2) (Batch 2)/Page 2 – (Low Floor, SBS3000G – SBS3099Y)
3. Volvo B9TL (Wright Eclipse Gemini 2) (Batch 2)/Page 3 – (Low Floor, SBS3100B – SBS3199S)
4. Volvo B9TL (Wright Eclipse Gemini 2) (Batch 2)/Page 4 – (Low Floor, SBS3200X – SBS3238M & SBS3269Z)

A navigation bar will be added at the top and bottom of each page, linking the respective subpages. Each page will feature a single table listing up to 100 buses, organised in the following format:

Registration No/Livery | Operator/Current Deployment | Advertisement | Former Deployment

This approach seeks to balance different perspectives, and to be more mobile friendly, as I am uncertain why some users are strongly opposed to these changes.

Alternative Table Layouts:

1. Registration No/Livery | Operator/Current Deployment | Former Deployment (Maintain status quo)
2. Batch | Registration No/Livery | Operator/Current Deployment | Former Deployment (Merging of Batches, numerical order, maintain status quo)
3. Batch | Registration No/Livery | Operator/Current Deployment | Advertisement | Former Deployment (Merging of Batches, numerical order)

Please let me know your thoughts on these proposals. Thank you for your time and feedback.
