De-registration of Buses

"1.4. When updating de-registered buses, they are to be updated after 2359 hours of the actual de-registration date of the bus. They are not allowed to be updated before the timing as the list will be reverted back if it is updated too early or before the stipulated time. For buses that are awaiting de-registration prior to de-registration, only reflect the status as "Awaiting de-registration" when there's confirmation based on the physical evidence."

Plus to add on, there is already a notice right on top of the page of De-registration of Buses. Ignoring it means you don't care about the outcome going against it.

Dude, as far as I'm concerned, if you look at the amount of SP BSEP buses (mostly Citaros) that the individual depots have been hoarding and using as random SP buses on mostly non-BSEP slots (especially BNDEP & HGDEP), that is a substantial amount of spare buses which are not reflected in the Spare Buses fleet.

So, while I didn't edit their perm status as BNDEP SP (from BNDEP/AMDEP/HGDEP only previously) on their repsective 'BSEP Citaros' / 'BSEP Wright B9TLs' pages (since theoretically BSEP buses should have a perm svc but they don't), I account for those extra BSEP buses which the depots have been using as random SP buses under the 'Spare Buses' page here.

Just go and look at the amount of SP BSEP Citaros BNDEP has currently. They have 15 SP BSEP Citaros without perm svcs now. Those are 15 Citaros which have been running around each day on mostly non-BSEP slots. If I didn't account for those, you would think that BNDEP/CGBP only has 62 SP buses to deploy. But they actually have up to 77 SP buses in total to deploy each day. That to me, is a substantial increase in amount. And that's why I feel that there is a need to account for these SP BSEP buses across each depots.

Guidelines are just guidelines, I don't really care about those though. I'm more concerned with improving things for the entire bus community who are using this Wiki. No point sticking to guidelines when you can't benefit and improve the state of things for the entire community.

And anyway, I don't really understand why you're asking me this. If you went to look back on the history of the edits on the Spare Buses page, I clearly accounted for why I chose to add in those extra SP BSEP buses into the respective SP fleet sections for the different depots, look at the words on the 'Summary' section on my edit on 03 Sep.
