BNL feeder frequency analysis for 241, 242 and 243G during
weekday PM peak ard 5:30pm
241 - average frequency 03-05mins, buses leave clearing the
queue heading towards St 63 and 91 quite well, I've once taken a
citaro 241 from BNL to Street 91 ard 5pm and the bus did not hit
above 40, though the previous bus left 5mins ago, but when I spot
it heading towards BNL, it has above 40 pax
242 - average frequency 05 mins, single deckers can cope the
load with the increase of 2 buses under BSEP, though I would prefer
1 DD split add instead of 2 buses, buses usually leave with more
than 40 pax so it is quite good loading for an almost full SD fleet
route
243G - average frequency 03-06mins, though I feel that 243G
seems to have some issues with SDs being plied on back to back
slots as a crowd can be seen waiting for the next bus which can be
a SD also, I would suggest cutting 2 SD for 1 DD
In addition, I support the suggestion to swap 256 and 258 berths
so that 256 and 258 can compliment 243G and 243W respectively
Note: According to the mytransport app, there are some occasions
(seem to happen more frequently now, usually on weekends) where 258
arrives at Boon Lay with "yellow" loading, indicating that the
loading is above 80 (assuming no SD cameo 258 that day though i've
only seen a 258 SD once)
Before Joo Koon Bus Interchange opens, 257 was at B4 and
182/182M was at B3. By right, 256 should be at B4, since it
replaces 257. As for 258, it is better to put it at B3, since it
follows 243G closely from Boon Lay Interchange.
