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.

961 can be packed to the door at Farrer Rd towards Woodlands even in the evenings. Many board at Farrer Rd Market and I assume they are foreign workers.

Hi. A friend of mine sent me a whatsapp message asking me to do survey. It is about wheelchair accessibility on buses.

Here's the link to the survey:

Please do it, if you want. Thanks. :)

You know we many times say packed to door, but also have to check if 961 was late. It always gets late enroute and then you have bunching, where bus behind has lot of space. In my observation, yes 961 does get good load, not saying it is bad, but is manageable by SDs.

961 should get some more rigids, it is just frequency problem.

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..

why make it difficult? by putting DDs, the dwell time increases. i would rather have rigids over DDs. Premium svc is best handed to Private Operators. non-WAB buses are being phased out. DDs are a waste on these svcs.

There is a pair of new bus stops along Fernvale Lane (no poles, only the bus stop itself)... Suspect a new service will ply these two bus stops.

50 and 63?! why like so drastic

Are you sure it's Fernvale Lane? It's already served by svc 163...

BusAnalayzer SG

Are you sure it's Fernvale Lane? It's already served by svc 163...

There is no bus serving Fernvale lane currently. 163 plies Fernvale Link.

carbikebus SG

Think about Sengkang ITH extension and you know why

array88 SG

There is no bus serving Fernvale lane currently. 163 plies Fernvale Link.

I have just checked Google Maps and SBST website, and both tell me svc 163 plies Fernvale Lane. It is the road from Sengkang West Ave to Sengkang West Rd. The road closer to Layar LRT is called Fernvale Link.

BusAnalayzer SG

Okay in that case... my bad... but i don't see why there would be one more stop for Lane1?!!?
