101-150
107 - same ratio of DD/SD for many years now.
Fleet is doing okay, loading sector is mainly from Lavendar MRT to
Potong Pasir
111 - got capacity downgrade with DD->SD.
This happened 2 years back. sv 111 loading has improved again given
Queenstown development. Maybe time to get the SD->DD back
112 - no fleet add even though route is v
unique and offers less alternatives throughout its entire route.
Note it also acts as feeder for HG Ave 7. Having said this, I
haven't seen 112 bursting and current fleet is able to manage the
load. Is it that HG Ave 7 HDBs have less flats or less occupancy.
Not sure!?
113 - ha ha! the service that used to be much
in discussion few years back until the 2 users realized there is no
point speaking about it. Poorly planned route and disastrous
frequency.
116 - not sure if this one should be counted.
It got downgrade from 7 buses to 6 and then got that bus back to
fleet of 7 buses. I would not say the fleet add was because of
better loading but more because the frequency was horrible at 20
mins. Now with 7 buses is around 15 mins. Somehow 3 years after
also, 116 loading remains not so great. Poor route planning.
120 - since launched, 8 buses and guess it will
stay there for a long time, unless 120 route gets
modified/extended. loading is okay at some sector, totally
manageable by current fleet.
121 - no fleet add since launch, 121 does
pretty well between Tiong Bahru and Tehlok Blangah, but for a
shorter route sports 8 buses and has decent frequency.
122 - since launched early this year, no fleet
add. Frequency kind of sucks at 15-20 mins, but the loading has
failed to pick up. Most of the buses peak loading is at 20
pax.
132 - no fleet add/upgrade. current fleet is
doing well + alternatives such as 145 and 165/166 in its high
loading sectors helps managing the load.
135 - current fleet managing load well. some
how the routing is such that between amk and paya lebar loading
remains around 30-40 pax. Paya Lebar-Marine Parade depends totally
on 43, 76 arrival times.
136 - no fleet add/upgrade. There were few
months when loading increases when Upp Serangoon flats were
launched and people took 136 to Kovan. I even thought would make
sense to launch 136A but then with 324 and 102 coming, 136 has gone
down the priority order again. In fact, sv 22 crossover DDs could
be changed to SD already!
140 - guess it has its fair share of buses
already. 4 buses for the route it serves is good enough. 140 is a
sweet short trunk meeting unique commuter needs.
141 - this is another unique route launched
under BSEP. For some reason, loading has been below my
expectations. I thought 141 would get higher loading, given it
serves Farrer Estate and cuts across NSL-CCL-EWL.
142 - this one's been a bit of a surprise.
Operating with 5 buses ever since launch. It deserves a fleet add,
especially when it is only service catering to Potong Pasir HDB
estate. It does role more of a feeder.
142 use to have DD bus. and 145 should have more DD buses. if
105 can have bendy buses from TT that will be good
