Let’s discuss about the svcs that had great or no improvement since BSEP, and discuss their past loding.

Sbs6750E SG

Starting off with sv 43.
Before BSEP, it had only 2 DDs, and its loading was not that great compared to now.
Number of buses also increased, from 14 to 20., and sv 43M.
Recently, GA also gave sv 43 majority DD fleet.
What a great improvement since those days.

carbikebus SG

136 weekday peak hours need 3 DDs not 1-2.Weekends can deployed 4 DDs to compensate the famous Serangoon Gdns jams.S3 need 6 DDs during peak hours.Even though frequencies has become improved but i stil see many SDs.

Why you so rude? I never do anything to you right? Did I call you names? You better apologise.

SMB128B SG

45...

Used to full fleet SDs and sarcastically highly reliable freq (a steady 17-20 mins all day)...

I would've thought it is a seasonal svc since it operates so little trips and has the freq of chinatown express...

35 also but lagi longer...

Now both behave more like proper trunks...

this thread still ok la, not causing probs unlike those created by ppl living in their own world

Sbs6750E SG

857 and 966, last time full fleet SD leh. Ppl should be grateful for what we have now.
Wonder why svc like 160 no upgrade? Same for 107, 153, 156, 158, 178 and 852 no change?

BusAnalayzer SG

Bus services have improved remarkably.

2-40

4 (launched with BSEP with full fleet SD, now has 2 DDs) - 12 - 15 - 19 - 20 (was launched full fleet SD and now has 60% DDs) - 22 - 23 - 34 - 35 (was full fleet SD with horrible frequency, now majority DD fleet) - 39 (many fleet adds, and much later 4SD->DD. Actually if was DD friendly, would have not needed those fleet adds, just upgrade would have done the job

107 has a short high loading sector between Lavendar MRT and Geylang Bahru. With DTL3 coming, even that will go off. But currently, each bus during peak hours in this area will have high loading

153 is doing well with current fleet - no change needed

156 even SDs run at low capacity

158 provides unique connections, hence is important but loading hovers around 30-50 pax. 158 did get a fleet add from BSEP.

178 got 2 fleet add from BSEP. Loading is disastrous for 80% of its route apart from Woodlands Road to Kranji and Marsiling to Woodlands where you have 178A.

852 is just a back up service.

Upgrade 160? idk if theres a need to add some SDs to tank the load in SG sector but i know 170 alr tanking all aft kranji onwards. Plus i rmb 160 duplicates quite a few services right?

And i think no DDs will be allocated for cross-borders. It would be good but i doubt so.

im not sure for 178 but 852 the loading may be low but, correct me if am wrong, i find that the loading during peak hours are quite healthy wad. Since low loading thats why low freq during off-peak lo

even the very low-loading svc like 46 got DDs leh. What's stopping LTA to give DDs to JB svcs?

idk leh. Even i had thought of this since young. Prolly is becoz of the prob that the buses hav to be lisenced to enter JB (or smth along this line), low height clearance (i rmb some places have like 5m, higher than sg, but i cant rmb whether the entire route has low height clearance) and maybe the prob of tree pruning lo. These r my speculations which might be wrong lol

SMB3130Z SG

in my opinion 156 and 178 demand not too bad for peak, 178 useful for Woodlands Road and Marsiling area (maybe Boon Lay as well), 156 is more useful for the sengkang area.

you're right. 156 loading is not that low BusAnalayzer claimed. Buses can be packed along Boundary Rd to Bishan Stn. There is also loading from Bishan to Thomson.

SMB3130Z SG

loading mainly all at sengkang/yck area heading to Bishan MRT, then rather empty.

I always see 178 full to the door during peak hour at WTBI and Kranji area during peak hr

SMB3130Z SG

yes correct, prob >BNL will be residents in Marsiling area heading to Kranji MRT and >WDL the workers going back home (either of the 3 MRTs).
