The DDs on 145 are getting more and more utilised. Able to add 1-2 more DDs.

BusAnalayzer SG

can anyone monitor the service 145 see can add in more DDs

145 should def get more DDs.

The thing with 145 is that when only SDs were allowed, there was massive fleet add to manage the crowd. Especially for Lavendar-Balestier, it is the only service and likewise for Balestier - TPY (139 is only a part).

So I hope as loading increases on 145, they do not add SDs, but instead do SD->DD conversion. Also note, 145 has bi-directional loading so will be great to have more DDs.

Also see my loading assessment on 130. I think 130 should get few more DDs as well.

Punggol West LRT freq quite bad, 7 mins. Taking bus from interchange, you have bus coming every 3-4 mins, 43/43M/117/118.

Punggol West LRT freq quite bad, 7 mins. Taking bus from interchange, you have bus coming every 3-4 mins, 43/43M/117/118.

Freq of Punggol LRT serving the west loop is bad because there are only 1 - 2 trains running.. Off peak only one train running. This is also due to the nature of plying one direction and skipping three stations which are punggol point, sam kee etc.

Loading on sv 117 @ 5.15pm from Sembawang Interchange SBS3461J

My first time sitting in the new green livery bus!!

Sembawang Interchange -- 08

Sembawang Vista -- 08 (0/0)

Sembawang Way -- 13 (0/5)

Canberra Link -- 12 (-4/3) huge number of HDB blocks at Canberra are still under construction.

Yishun Ave 2 -- 31 (-4/23), 34 (-2/5), 32 (-5/3), 18 (-17/3) Yishun MRT, 20 (0/2), 22 (0/2), 18 (-8/4) Khatib MRT, 20 (0/2)

Yishun Ave 1 -- 20 (-1/1), 20 (0/0), 20 (0/0), 20 (0/0), 19 (-1/0), 17 (-6/4), 18 (0/1) all along there was negligible boarding/alighting on ave 1. This is because all the flats along ave 1 are still under construction except those near st 41 and st 81.

The view at Yishun Dam is AWESOME!!!

Seletar Aerospace Way -- 19 (0/1), 19 (0/0), 19 (0/0), 21 (-1/3) 103 was right in front.

Picadilly -- 21 (0/0)

Seletar Circus -- 29 (-3/11) 103 in front was packed to door. Lot of people boarded/alighted at this stop for 103. No wonder DDs have been introduced.

Punggol Way -- 24 (-5/0), 17 (-7/0)

Punggol Central -- 17 (0/0)

* Peak loading = 34 pax was to Yishun MRT, eating into sv 169 loading

* Yishun Ave 1, Seletar Aerospace still under construction. Hence, loading continues to be poor.

* Most people are long distance travellers.

* Upper deck had 80% of pax throughout route, while lower deck had around 5-8 pax through the route

* Beautiful views enroute 117

* 805/117 launched too early looks like as flats still far away from completion and occupancy

* 117 in future will have very high loading given there are monster HDB hubs coming up in Canberra, Yishun Ave 1, Punggol West

* Frequency of 117 = 13-15 mins. Only 1 bus resting space at PGL Interchange. Next 117 bus comes and stands behind parking lot of 117 forcing it to get out.

* Observed packed 103 buses in opposite direction towards Yishun (#2 of them).

47 117 118 intro same time. i think 118 best then 47 then 117. but route unique wise 117 best then 118 then 47.

now intro 134 and 150. route use and unique wise both not good.
