regular bus spotters can already anticipate the problem before the bus de-regs and SBST chose to take chance and deploy KUB on day 1 for 564. i wonder how much truth is in them saying the plan was to deploy a citaro but due to unforseen circumstances a KUB was used. even a citaro wont be able to take all the pax. they totally deserved the whacking. the least they could do if they didnt want to add trip or upgrade is to transfer some B10Ms from HG for a stop gap solution. very disappointed in the lapse.

Prior to 2611 n predecessors, 564 was using KUB for quite a while

Thanks for the info there. Nevertheless, that must have been at least a year ago or more, so I guess it is safe to conclude that KUB cannot handle the load now. Even SBST acknowledge that average load is 35 (i'm doubtful of this figure too). All in all, this situation could have been better managed. Cheers.

Acx1688 SG

Ridership of 35 mentioned by SBST is an arbitary figure...

Deploying 2 564's maybe a temporary stop gap measure and we are have to wait and see...

SBST on the other hand have few options:

1. Maintain new deployment of 2 564's

2. Swop 549's DM to 564, chg 549 to Scania,Citaro

3. Take from East District(Bedok) - very troublesome

4. Convert AM training DM to revenue bus

5. Cut to one 564, upgrade to DD service

Assuming a DM for 564, it is a short term measure and prob arises when DM retires...

I disagree with option 2 and 3. Option 4 may work only if the load remains at 46. They got SBS2790M and SBS2819T to play with. Option 5 would be ideal as when commuters sees a Double Deck on 564, more people might switch to taking 564 instead, but it poses a great problem if they hand over to private operators in future.

Acx1688 SG

Yes, so have to b v v alert...

BCs tend to switch off EDS before arriving at Fullerton Hotel bus stop, 6765 on day one EDS did not display PREMIUM 564

If i recall n also posted in much earlier pages(Part I thread), there was a LO3X deployed before on 564

Yup when 564 was under SLBP, SBS8113D and SBS8485H all from SLBP 157 were perm on 157/564 until SBS2770Z took over.

Any updates on Premium 564 lately?

Any updates on Premium 564 lately?

Today 6683R. 2nd bus dont know

wsy1234 SG

I think LTA should stop toying with premium service for the public. remove this non standing rule and let people have proper express bus service to the cbd or other area where there is demand. what premium if nobody care about it, that base on the news report so i think it a bit crazy to impose non standing rule on premium service. i think if it is premium then sbst or smrt should use coach buses instead of normal public bus. just like taxi using limo cars like Mercedes Cab or else what is call premium service? at least PTE bus company using coach for premium service

lemon1974 SG

Private companies using coach for premium services? So using those china made bus are considering as coach??????? SMRT trial one China made bus n u guys give such bad reviews but private operator using the same buses u say it is high class coach?

there are premium service n city direct services now for PPl to choose from major towns. U can choose more to get a seat or u can pay lesser to stand on the city direct services for 45-60 mins all the way to town with no chance of getting a seat at all.

wsy1234 SG

those china buses are actually coach. coach and public bus is different design. there is no such thing as high class coach. coach bus does not have space for standing. if you taken a coach to malaysia before you will know. that why lta do not allow people stand in coach. but sbst and smrt seems to blur this line by using public bus as they do not have any coach bus.

lemon1974 SG

how to compare those private companies made in china buses, against those malaysia 26 seaters coach with reclining seat? those private operator buses are simply buses without any standing space.. they are NOT Coach.....do not upgrade them just because there are no standing space...

and who say those private operators buses cant allow standing?
