Bus 72. Bus bunching like xiao, minimum frequency: 2 mins. I beg
to differ from sbst191, the buses are really needed!
Places where suddenly a huge load of passengers get on the
bus:
Tampines Int
Several Bus Stops along Tampines Rd(not really a lot but quite a
couple)
Hougang Ctrl
A bus stop along AMK Ave 5 that is adjacent to AMK lnd park.
ITE Bus Stop
Bus stop aft Anderson Sec.
Direction from YCK Int within a few bus stops only can fill to
max.
On the other hand, bus 109.
109A being deployed at the wrong times... 10PM the buses still can
fill to the max just from picking up passengers from Serangoon Int,
even bus driver have to reject passengers. These timings 109A needs
to be deployed, most of the passengers alight at Hougang 1(109A
fulfills the whole sector of the journey from Serangoon INT to the
last road it serves for Hougang, sole purpose is Hougang 1)
They need to deploy more WEGs, even though Serangoon Int can't
handle that much wegs, increase the frequencies of WEGs is a better
solution(frequencies apart from each other such that when a WEG
depart, a WEG arrives)...
Agreed. Sv 72 does have good loading but bunching has become too
common with first bus taking pax, 2nd bus going empty.
not sure if Tampines rd sees many pax... Except for industrial
shift times as per my observation... Most buses are in 55-70 pax
range... Before buses would be 100+ pax with some not able to
board. Average loading at Tampines interchange is now between 45-55
pax as bus comes every 04-05 mins.
so def good improvement on this service.
