LTA's Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP) (Part 4)

last SG · 2015-12-04T16:42:41+00:00

Hi mr busanalyser, don't think they will introduce 2 Punggol new services at the same time even though I see 2 plaques being constructed at berth B2 and B4 a...

SBS3004X SG

Service 43 frequency before 7am does not meet the 10 min BSEP standards. The buses are packed full with students, but SBST is not doing anything simply because of the concession fares. LTA needs to do something about the 12 min frequency. 43M can also have 1 DD transferred to 43.

carbikebus SG

All 43M DDs should go to 43..

SBS3004X SG

All 43M DDs should go to 43..

What I meant is that 43M should get a fleet cut of 1 DD, while 43 will get 1 DD fleet add from 43M.

carbikebus SG

No la the short distance M variant should have all SD fleet,Beside those students normally will camp at the lower deck for 2-3 stops only.Unless 43M loop back to Punggol.

43M loops back to Punggol.

carbikebus SG

43M loops back to Punggol.

Ok then,Can do with majority DDs.

BusAnalayzer SG

You didn't know 43M loops back to Punggol?

43M should still have 6 SDs... while 43 should operate with 13 DDs, 6 SDs... current fleet is 10 DDs, 11 SDs.

Are you serious about 19 buses for 43?

It's not about the number of DDs. 43 operates at a frequency of 11-14 mins from 6.30 am to 7.00 am. 43 needs 1 fleet add.

On service 43/43M, Citaro passenger hogs are quite common throughout the day. The Citaro is just 1-2 mins ahead of a DD. The Citaro usually has far more passengers than the DD behind.

carbikebus SG

43 should have 15 DDs and 6 SDs while 43M can do with 50/50.

Error in calculation.. .should be 15 DDs, 6 SDs = 21 buses.

43M operates with 6 SDs.

not sure whether this is off topic but i waited for Sv 950 at JB customs towards Singapore Customs for 2hours yesterday (Sunday) around 9pm. Is 950 under BSEP? Only saw 4 Sv 950 buses towards JB Sentral in a span of 2 hours while 170/170x had about 10 buses coming.

When it finally come everyone in the haotic and messy 2 storey queue all the way from the immigration level to the bus berths rushed and pushed, fought to get on board the bus. Very chaotic situation even though 950 has many buses.

Cause? : I asked the Sv 950 BC why it took him 2 hours to arrive. He said that it's the Malaysian government's fault along Jalan Lingkaran Dalam, entrance to JB Customs bus bay ? blocked the long queue of buses and the Malaysian Authorities didnt even bother to help. Therefore, 950 was stuck there for 2 hours.

I believe that the Sv 950 queue was only cleared after 12 Midnight as the buses only started to stroll in after 10:45PM. (2 hour wait after 8:55pm)

Cause? : I asked the Sv 950 BC why it took him 2 hours to arrive. He said that the Illegal parking of motorcycles and private buses along Jalan Lingkaran Dalam, entrance to JB Customs bus bay blocked the long queue of buses and the Malaysian Authorities didnt even bother to get them to move. Therefore, 950 was stuck there for 2 hours.

Not surprised by yr comments. Firstly no cross border route are under BSEP. Secondly, 2storey queue is not a rare sight at JB customs especially during weekends, be it 160/170/170X, CWs, 950, AC7 etc.. Frequency of 170/170X is also much better than that of 950.(10 buses is considered little for 170/170X for 2 hours in fact).

There are many causes for delays for cross borders route(not sure if yr cause is common). But sometimes when jams occur, BCs just skip trips or u-turn at JB customs in order to catch up with their subsequent ones, which may explain yr long wait.

Not the parking of vehicles causing the delay... it is due to mr 26 billion is in Johor on sunday and they close a lot of roads, causing traffic jam everywhere and also due to the boleh malaysia custom who open 10 of 38 car counters which results in long queue in the roads leading to the check point, thus affecting the buses....

not sure why u have to wait for 950 at JB custom when u can jolly well take 170/170x..

TIB 585L SG

And u can take bus kilang or Causeway link wich are more frequent than 950

or walk...... haha.. sunday night is the worst, because a lot of ppl are coming to Singapore.... and most of them came via City Square/JB Sentral..

160 and 170 berth is right next to the custom, whereas 950 berth is across the road. Most people take 160 or 170. Only a few cross the road to take 950. It's easier to take 950 than to take 160 or 170.

This probably explains why SBS5010P took 950 instead of 170.

950 is like a insider's "privilege", where those who know that 950 easier to take can actually come back to Singapore faster. :)

Anyway, I guess that was a one-off incident.

but I do not understand why they need to close the lanes at custom or the causeway... you say Mr Najib come Johor Bahru... also not come Singapore... why must close the lanes at custom or the causeway?

I do not know what happened la.... but I guess that day something happened, and the authorities have to increase security checks, that's why traffic is slower at custom.
