You should not prioritise your hobby over your education.

Back to topic, now is weekend/school holidays, load should be higher during the time where student go to and fro the schools along Bukit Timah

(Wait a minute, if it is school holidays, what class yo pnteng sia?

Reposting to redirect conversation back to loading

A bit late in posting loading... but here it is for Tuesday 17/Mar for sv 52, 55 and 410W at Bishan Interchange

6.34 - 3443L - 43p (410W)

6.35 - 3074T - 09p (52)

6.40 - 3658J - 93p (55)

6.41 - 8755D - 68p (410W) around 25-30 pax in queue

6.46 - 7719R - 122p (410W)

6.49 - 3369T - 51p (52)

6.51 - 8482R - 67p (410W)

6.56 - 3265J - 56p (55)

6.56 - 7515L - 82p (410W)

7.00 - 5169R - 66p (410W)

7.01 - 3367Z - 23p (52)

7.04 - 3285B - 54p (410W) I boarded this bus

Bold is DDs

The current fleet of buses on 410W seems okay. Don't think need anymore fleet add or upgrade required now.

Loading on 410W at 07.04pm from Bishan Interchange (DD)

Bishan Interchange - 54p

Bishan St 13 - 59p (0/5)

Bishan St 22 - 59 (-2/2), 40 (-28/8) *note that half the bus alighted here (where 13A operates in AM), 39 (-6/5)

Sing Ming -- 42 (0/3), 38 (-6/2), 31 (-12/5), 35 (-2/6), 36 (-2/3)

Upper Thomson Rd -- 34 (-7/5), 28 (-10/4) I alighted here...

* From what I noticed even though a lot of people board at interchange, majority alight along st 22... and not really along Sing Ming

* I would have thought people would board along stop at Bishan road where you have 13, 52, 54, 88 to go to st 22

* DDs have been added to this service as people along st 22 board 410W and hence, people wanting to go to Sing Ming earlier had longer waiting time

* This also explains why 410G does not have DDs... and people along Sing Ming can easily board and along st 22 have so many different options to get to MRT

Loading on sv 140 @ 08.05am

Lor 1 Geylang -- 05, 15 (0/10)

Upper Boon Keng Rd -- 19 (-3/6), 24 (-2/7)

Geylang Bahru -- 22 (-6/4), 24 (-6/8)

Bendemeer Rd -- 35 (-5/16), 40 (-3/8), 43 (-3/6)

Boon Keng Rd -- 35 (-11/3)

Serangoon Rd -- 23 (-22/10)

St. Georges Rd -- 16 (-7/0), 17 (-7/10) * pls note 9 pax remained on bus to go further, 25 (0/8)

Serangoon Rd -- 33 (0/8), 36 (-1/4)

Bendemeer Rd -- 26 (-12/2)

Geylang Bahru -- 37 (-6/17), 47 (-3/13)

Upper Boon Keng Rd -- 51 (-4/8), 49 (-4/2)

Lor 1 Geylang -- I alighted here.

* My first loading experience on sv 140 was pretty good.

* Peak loading to St Georges = 43pax, towards Lor 1 = 51 pax.

* Also very high turnover of pax at almost every stop

* Need more unique routes like this one even if it is a short haul trunk

* 140 doing better than 141 even if the latter was introduced 2 years back

and wef next week, SBST/LTA is going to reduce 4 trips for sv140..... guess demand is not that good.

I think runtime is higher, hence the adjustment, especially with the traffic along Serangoon/Bendemeer during peak hours. Loading pretty okay.

i think 141 almost every trip has a number of people boarding it which is good. wait until the new hdb flats at toa payoh rise completed next year, 141 is a good link for old folks living there.

wsy1234 SG

how is the loading for 145 DD buses? anyone know???

Yes - good to see 141 loading has picked up. And I agree with Toa Payoh rise flats ready, the loading will improve. Weekend loading also not bad given lot of people go around Little India area to shop.

It's not always the weekday peak that has the highest loading. Service 116 can get full load during off peak and weekends, but peak hour loading is low.

JurongWestresident SG

Was on bus service 243W at around 1735hrs. Bus was SBS8768S.

When bus left the bus interchange, there were about 40 people, still have ample space for more people, but apparently, that's all the people wanting to take 243W.

by the 7th bus stop, the bus has (almost) "re-cycled" itself. 5th bus stop nobody alight very likely is because people there prefer to take 241/179 instead of 243W. the bulk of the initial loading alighted at St 61 (3rd) and Ave 5 (6th) bus stops.

Loading is lower than expected. Normally at this time, there is a long queue for both G and W. Maybe a WEG was just ahead by few minutes.

SBS5010P SG

wonder whats stopping SBST to deploy DDs on 100 ?

As you said SBS Transit has many DDs in excess to play with, wouldnt hurt to deploy 1 or 2 DDs on 103, 113 and 315 too. I know you are tired of the "113 controversy" but I just think the loading is higher than before. Majority of the ppl switching over to 45 and 53 have converted back to 113 in the evenings.

112 can just introduce SWT in the morning from HG ave 8 to Kovan MRT

103 and 315's definitely DD worthy, Maybe 2 DDs?
