3141H finally perm on sv 43 ~ after nearly 2 years of being spare. Finally it got its home.

sv 269 has a very stupid route. Agree / Disagree?

I feel it should go directly to st 61 and loop back via Ave 5 and ave 6 to AMK MRT rather than going to YCK Road and then Ave 4 and coming back.

Residents of ave 5 do not have an alternative other than 138 in the morning to MRT. and those who choose to take 269 have to go via food market, yck road, ave 5 and 4 and 3 to interchange... route should be modified.

stupid route for sv269? did u see the demand?

residents of ave 5? which bus stops? only 4 bus stops along ave 5 have sv138..

1st bus stop at blk604 got 138/265/269
2nd bus stop at blk 617 got 138/269
3rd bus stop at blk 643 got 138/269 but those going to MRT station at this stop, can easily walk to ave 4 to take 76/268... not much ppl waiting at this bus stop for 138 to mrt..

4th bus stop at blk 649... ppl staying around this area will rather go to bus stop along ave 6 and take bus to YCK mrt instead.. who say that there isnt alternative bus available? just that they are at some other nearby bus stops only....

and btw, during AM peak, there are 2 crossover buses from sv135 doing downroute of sv138 from 1st bus stop of ave 5, making the frequency to be 9-10 mins instead...and buses are alway having 10-20 paxs max only during the am peak

Aren't feeders meant to have winding routes? If this route is stupid, are 262, 372 and 811 and other feeders/Intratowns also stupid?

BusAnalayzer SG

The route is very popular PM peak to get to ave 5 and st 61. Dd worthy loading as well. Am peak do go and observe, route is empty until YCK road, when load starts picking up on the other part of ave 5 and then ave 4 to MRT.

This clearly shows that residents of ave5 would have preferred if Sv 269 would call in both directions and go directly to AMK via ave 6. I am not stating that modify the route and hence haven't posted in "route suggestions". Just was an observation on how the loading is different am and PM, and caters to different sets of people.

Ideally should not... Feeders should be meant to provide quickest access to MRT.

SBS 6238T SG

Any news of this bus?

lemon1974 SG

obviously for am peak, most people are going to work...instead of going home...thus SBST have also introduced downroute for sv269 during AM peak as well.. And how does it show that the resident of Ave5 would have prefer sv269 to call at both direction? if it is your opinion, just say it, instead of saying that the resident of Ave 5 want it. i am staying in Ave5 and i DO NOT WANT the route that u suggested.

BusAnalayzer SG

Since you stay on ave 5 (between ave 4 and yck road), would you take 269 to amk or wait for 138 to amk? Considering the number of hdb hubs there, is 138 only enough? So you like taking 269 that goes round about yck road also to get to amk? And AMK people dont go only for mrt right? There are many amenities there that YCK does not have. Look forward to your response on this.

lemon1974 SG

obviously, i will go to ave4 and take 76/268 or cross the road to bus stop outside blk155 to take 269/76/268 if i am rushing for time..... i have explain in one of my earlier post.....do not have to die die wait for sv138.

As for those stay near Blk 649, there are alternative buses along Ave 6 to get to AMK hub...

Thanks for your reply. So I was not wrong to say sv 269 has different sets of people in AM and PM peak.

AM peak - from yck road/ave 5 (bet yck rd and ave 4)

PM peak - to ave 5 (bet ave 4 and amk ave 6) and st 61.

It is like 2 different bus routes combined into 1.

BusAnal bro,you should work at either SBST or SMRT buses to gain experience there...When you start holding a post there then you will understand why such routes are created.Practical and theories are different thing
