Guess the next WAB service(s) thread

last SG · 2012-02-01T13:55:05+00:00

I think that svc 105 will go WAB.Almost 20 KUBS!over 80% WAB quota.

Simply.90 SG

Then for services like 88, need 1 more WAB only. So that one is more likely to be the next to be announced then say 81, which needs like 3 more WABs.

All the TPY Int end-on berths services not so soon right? Unless the authorities can hasten the modification project.. or perhaps Sv88 shifts to the unused berth beside Sv143 and share the PIW boarding facilities. LOL.

Oh yeah uh, I forgot the TPY end-on berths issue also apply to 88. Hope they really quicken the progress, if not the 88 CDGEs like from new bus become cui bus already.

they say can only be done by 2014.... so far dun think there is any work been done at all?

actually, if the wheelchair ramp is located at the entrance (just like HK), i think there wont be such issue?

another alternative, will be for Sv139/143/145 to share the same PIW boarding berth... and for Sv26/88/90/155, they might have to use the other side of the interchange for boarding/alighting of PIW? if there are pax alighting at interchange, the BC will turn into the "saw tooth" side of the interchange and let the PIW alight and then make a U-turn at the junction into the end-on berth side? i think the buses should be able to make that u-turn (since currently sv139/143/145 are also making big turn into the interchange)...

as for boarding of PIW, 26/88/90/155 will have to specially turn into the saw tooth berth of the interchange specially after leaving the end-on berth...troublesome though but only apply to those trips with WAB..

looking at current situation, the potential SBST WAB services are below:

10, 56, 66, 70, 73, 83, 105, 124, 125, 128, 168, 186, 197, CT8 and high change those HG/SK feeders..

83,96,154,165,197,SBST

75,167,177,852,970,980,SMRT

SMB189A SG

177 got full citaro already so confirm next WAB

TIB783G SG

75,167,177,852,970,980,SMRT

Looking at these svcs, They don't qualify.

325/372 not qualified since they had ZERO WAB perms (unless the same thing happens like 354 liddat)

56 no, due to some bus stops along TPY/Downtown

83 due to Punggol Central... out oso;

73 must w8 for int to finish 1st...

no matter what, i'm PRETTY sure the svc above will not get into the March 2012 list.

SMB189A SG

Maybe 963R get WAB bcos 963R got full Man already

SBS 9631X SG

I think on the whole for SMRT it is harder to predict. Because their WAB deployments tend to be more volatile? They can put in a bunch of WABs on this service A this week, then a few weeks later, shift out the entire block of WABs and put on service B and make service B WAB status instead.

Ei dude.. 282,284,285 also got no WAB perms before it became WAB service so why not SK/HG feeder can't be WAB service?

lemon1974 SG

well said... not sure some other ppl just anyhow whack also.... SBST is trying to make all its feeder to be WAB soon.. if the feeder services are not becoming WAB, then how the PIW going to get to interchange and MRT station to take the WAB trunk services and Trains? look at SMRT, how many of their feeder services can be WAB? can count so easily......

lemon1974 SG

very true..... they like to play mahjong with their fleet.. .just anyhow transfer here and there...

No doubt SMRT deployments are volatile, But not in this manner.

SBS 9631X SG

Probably abit exaggerating, but you know how it works too.

lemon1974 SG

they would rather put a few WAB on Sv854, 4 more on Sv857, some on Sv167 and some on Sv852, for which these WAB can put to good use.. Can put on Sv859 to convert to WAB... dunno what they are thinking also...

TIB783G SG

I don't mind them (854,857,167,852) having WABs if the drivers allow the WCB people to board, Afterall if they want to let those drivers having these buses to start, They too also must have the responsibility to let WCB passengers board.

Simply.90 SG

Allowing PIWs to board or not is not even dictated by the SLs (it shouldn't be anyway), and it is not as if they can decide and not get any repercussions should any unpleasant issue arise out of such unofficial arrangement like PIWs unable to alight at a certain stop whatsoever. The crux lies with the management and how they plan the fleet..

SMB128B SG

pls look at my last pt of the first line
