Wouldn't it be great if SMRT can take in the B9TLs currently under LTA storage in exchange for the a22s... once seletar package operator is announced or there are enough DDs after the retirement of bendies next year they can exchange back

More LTA Storage citaros for SMRT soon..

well makes sense... actually if possible i would like some feeders to test out DDs first using the storage b9tls but oh well

carbikebus SG

Some of the BSEP A22s will go to the new Operator if SMRT lose those Yishun Package svc..

This week 2 DDs - a B9TL and VO3x climbed from Ophir road onto ECP using the steep ramp. I think this is testing for sv 48 to get DDs. They were climbing quite slowly up the ramp. I think the testing may have failed. Hope not!!

I have taken pics. Will post later.

They can use DDs if they stop detuned the 1st gear...Even ZF also can climb if they do that..

36 also.

Suggestion: Basement should become a carpark and not a bus park. So stuffy in the basement. The arrival hall (4.5m) should be converted to a bus lane.

For the first time in months,I finally see two GA BCs drive S359 this morning.

Sv 979 should operate in opposite direction to sv 302 along CCK Crescent, so that those dedicated for BPJ board 979 from opposite bus stop. Many times if 979 comes before 302, Yew Tee MRT pax will board the bus, leaving those for BPJ at later stops stranded and not able to board.

Thoughts?

Just a thought, those who are stranded cannot take 302 to Yew Tee MRT, alight and then wait for 979 meh?

(Actually I am curious as to how many people actually board at CCK Crescent and go all the way to Bukit Panjang?)

For AM peak easily at least half the bus... based on the LTA app, usually before it reaches YewTee the loading will turn yellow and will stay yellow until it reaches the last stop before KJE...sometimes even turned red upon reaching last stop before KJE...

**Unless its a DD... usually for MAN A22 its liddat..

You will be able to judget that with how many boarding at BPJ MRT and Ten Mile junction during PM.

979 bus gets usually 40-60 pax. Now most of these go to Yew Tee, may be around 10-12 per bus to CCK Crescent.

That DD at Rochor Ramp can be for 500 also.

BusAnalayzer SG

That DD at Rochor Ramp can be for 500 also.

If DD can do Rochor ramp, 48 will surely get DDs. If it cannot do Rochor Ramp, 500 will not use this route... as speculated 500 is long distance and route will need to be DD friendly.

Nice to see the 48 DD issue being handled (and hopefully resolved).

Btw are you sure 500 will go through CBD? Insider info? Such a route would likely be much longer than 51 and/or former 502, and its reliability (for BSEP) may be compromised. Currently I still have a route of 500 going via YCK and Bt Panjang/CCK in mind.

No insider info. It is info from forum that claims 500 will be a Sengkang-Boon Lay service via CBD.

I think it will be the longest service, even longer than 51/61.

It doesn't make sense to introduce such a service IMO.

If want to introduce Sengkang-Boon Lay, it is good but should be Sengkang -> Sengkang West -> TPE -> BPJ -> Bukit Batok Road -> PIE -> Pioneer Road North -> JW St 63 -> Boon Lay or via Jalan Bahar.

If I take from Sengkang to Boon Lay, I damn sian liao.

Hi mr TIB585L, I thought service 500 from Sengkang pass by orchard and bukit panjang to Boon Lay? It is orchard right? Not CBD right? CBD refers to tanjong pagar/raffles place/Shenton way/downtown area. Cheers. Thanks.
