Everytime these days there is an ett change, 179/241/285 are always part of the list.

What happened to sv 41 in the last round of trip adds? Was it a fleet add or just runtime adjustment?

JurongWestresident SG

Everytime these days there is an ett change, 179/241/285 are always part of the list.

Probably some routine maintenance of buses? Anyway, off topic a bit.. the HDB flats at Jurong West Street 91, 92 (market area) and 93 will be re-painted to another colour soon! Finally, after being in red or orange for around thirty years since they were constructed, they are finally changing colour... personally, it is going to be something new for me, who grow up seeing the red/orange flats everyday...

anyway, back to topic,

179... could be a strategy to encourage people to take 243 to Boon Lay instead...but seriously, if so, they should have instead put up a poster or something... #justsaying

241... who knows, it could be a redeployment to 241A...

whats the new color of the flats? blue and white?

JurongWestresident SG

whats the new color of the flats? blue and white?

Now still voting...

Personally, I was expecting the flats to be re-painted in white and bright colours, similar to the flats at street 72. Or in some shades of a colour, similar to the flats at street 75 and street 81. Nonetheless, the colour schemes look refreshing. :)

SMB42P SG

Everytime these days there is an ett change, 179/241/285 are always part of the list.

179 is coz NTU vacation..similar to 96..

AJQZC SG

Just wondering ...

Is it a norm for SMRT trunk routes that loop around an interchange / a road to display the looping point as the destination on their bus service display? Are the displays always consistent? Consider services 173, 177, 180, 858, 965 as the interchange group, and 189, 857, 962, 964, 966, 972, 975, 983, 990 as the non-interchange group.

For the non-interchange group: I stay near Bt Batok, and always see 189 and 990 displaying "Bukit Batok" as the destination, instead of "Clementi Ave 1" or "Jurong East", when I pass by the interchange. 983 shows "Choa Chu Kang", I believe. In contrast, 966 displays "Marine Parade" and 972 displays "Bencoolen St" while outbound. Not too sure about the rest.

Anyone has any insights or explanation?

TIB1234T SG

Just wondering ...

Anyone has any insights or explanation?

Nope... Service 966 is the only service currently that has interchange & looping point configure together where BCs only need to key in 966 code, not need to change direction 1 or 2...

It'll show "Woodlands Int via......" then automatically to "Marine Parade via......" and back to "Woodlands Int via......" continuously. So far, only see 966 no need to change directional code...
However, 966 data has 2 automatic formats, some show "Marine Parade (Loop)" & some are "Marine Parade"...

This means 222 might get one more BSEP WEG and it could be on A/P Shift?

243G and 243W each might get BSEP WEG. Both BNDEP and SLBP have SP BSEP WEGs. I think they are trying to use those.

It seems Service 63 operating hours will be changed on 25/05/15. Not sure whether this is temporary. No change for Service 63M.

Right after KUB + OCs dereg, SBST/SMRT should bring in Wrights/ADL 10.6m ver. + SDs instead of just SD 1-to-1 replacement.

Benefits :
Routes that are DD-friendly YET do not meet the requirement(basically the demand is "ïn the middle") of having a DD can get. Eg. 963 Weekends 86, 130, 983, 965, 961, 852/3/5 + some premium express svces.

SMB145B SG

Right after KUB + OCs dereg, SBST/SMRT should bring in Wrights/ADL 10.6m ver. + SDs instead of just SD 1-to-1 replacement.

853 slightly below average loading. You want DDs?

853 is not that crowded even during peak hour, can give bendy for this svc

BusAnalayzer SG

Right after KUB + OCs dereg, SBST/SMRT should bring in Wrights/ADL 10.6m ver. + SDs instead of just SD 1-to-1 replacement.

I know 2 others mentioned it, but I want to reiterate 852 and 853 are not bendy or DD candidates. The loading is not much high loading even during peak hours. 961 also no need. Has too many alternatives along route, and with 960 having beefed up capacity, 961 is doing just fine. 170 in parallel all the way till Farrer road junction as well. Also has 153/855 in parallel to Bukit Merah.

TIB429E SG

Do know that 10.6M DD has roughly the same capacity size as a 12M SD. Changing to 10.6M DD is to allow pax to have more seats option. It's for better rides and since those routes mentioned(besides 852/3/5, 961 & some Premium svc) have DD deployed currently

Forget to mention, only 80 orders will be enough(For SMRT side)

Hmm then take out 852/3 & 961 then..but I think 961 should take 1-2, at least..
