CBS uses Depot Emergency Crew (DEC) for medium-scale service disruptions.

CBS' DEC is designed to handle service disruptions of various scales and they will be deployed immediately once a service disruption is encountered. The drivers in the DEC are daytime standby drivers and they live near the various CBS depot for convenience. The last time a service disruption occured was during the Nicoll Highway Collapse. A total of 8 buses, mostly from BNDEP, were dispatched on various routes to cover the diverted and disrupted sectors.

In this disruption, a total of 40 buses were used - 20 from BSDEP and 20 from AMBP. They were deployed immediately @2120 hrs once SMRT informed CBS HQ of a power trip at Newton Station. Most buses were deployed at Newton Station Northbound while some went further down to Dhoby Ghaut Station. All shuttle services ended at Toa Payoh/Bishan Stations. Southbound passengers can take the shuttle service from Toa Payoh to Orchard.
