Loading on sv120 @ around 8pm from New Bridge Rd Ter to Telok Blangah St 32

New Bridge Rd Terminal - 5

Neil Rd -- 5 (-0/0)

Kg Bahru Rd -- 8 (-0/3)

Jln Bt Merah -- 10 (-0/2), 11 (-0/1), 15 (-4/8)

Lower Delta Rd -- 24 (-1/10)

Tiong Bahru Rd -- 24 (-0/0), 24 (-0/0), 26 (-2/4), 26 (-7/7)

Alexandra Rd -- 26 (-0/0), 19 (-8/1), 21 (-0/2), 18 (-5/2), 16 (-2/0), 14 (-2/0), 13 (-1/0), 12 (-2/1)

Telok Blangah Rd -- 12 (-0/0), 12 (-0/0), 16 (-1/5)

Henderson Rd -- 11 (-5/0)

Telok Blangah Heights -- 8 (-3/0), 5 (-3/0)

Telok Blangah St 32 -- 3 (-4/2) -- Alighting point

* Can conclude that bulk of the loads came from Jln Bt Merah to Redhill MRT stretch (as many as 26 pax)
* There wasn't any sv33 in front of 120 when loading was taken, so if sv33 was in front, the loading along Alexandra Rd (until opp Alexandra Hosp) is expected to be lesser.
* Telok Blangah MRT to within Telok Blangah Est side was thought to be the key objective this rt aims to achieve? Only a handful of ppl (5 in this audit) chose to take 120 back home from Telok Blangah MRT.

I guess CCL5 is not so useful at this moment as it only brings passengers to HarbourFront where they still have to transfer to NEL. In the future when CCL6 is completed, more people may choose CCL rather than bus services to the city. Therefore maybe we can expect the loading of svc 120 to increase a bit after 2030.

I have similar observation though in my loading experience found 20+ pax between Redhill and Alexandra rd, and around 10-15 pax rest of route.

BusAnalayzer SG

I didn't understand your comment. How does this affect loading on Sv 120? And if loading will increase only after 2030, what's the purpose 16 years in advance? Rather use the resources in other areas.

array88 SG

When CCL6 is ready, Telok Blangah Stn will have convenient access to CBD, Marina Bay, Marina Centre etc via CCL. Hence passengers who are now taking other bus services from Telok Blangah Heights may choose 120 to Telok Blangah Stn and transfer to CCL as it becomes more useful.

20 doesnt need too many buses with 4 DDs..probably 6 A/P 3 S is good enough

Yes def dont need 12 buses.. but 4 DDs/6 SDs is needed.. as frequency is bet 12-14 mins.. so no point reducing a bus.

carbikebus SG

Can make 7 A/P 2 S and a crossover DD from other svc?

Thomson Rd -- 36 (-3/2), 42 (0/6), 48 (0/6), 56 (-2/10) *loading started picking up only along Thomson road. Below 40 pax until then. This explains why AM there used to be 156A terminating at Thomson rd.

Sengkang East Rd -- 34 (-1/0), 34 (-2/2), 33 (-8/7), 31 (-9/7)

Sengkang East Way -- 14 (-17/0) i alighted here at Compass Point

* Loading never reached 60 pax

* Loading on sv 156 has dropped as most people have moved to sv 43. I think this could also be the reason why 156A was axed.

* As per iris, when checked at PIE, bus ahead at 14 mins and bus behind at 10 mins.

* No recommendation - guess current fleet size is good enough.

taking 156 is a pain all citaros

taking 156 is a pain all citaros

Yes but loading is not too high... Hence Citaros doing okay... Citaros best for services with peak loading of 60 pax. Disaster to have citaros on services like 27, 28.

Would prefer citaros to do those svcs below 55pax like Svcs 115, 40, 262, 317, Parks Services, 116, 119 and 26 etc

carbikebus SG

no choice ah bro,as long they follow schedule its should be ok..wont get penalised by LTA

26 can have 60+ pax loading at times, though will seldom cross 70pax. Same for 156 - hence Citaro ok on 156.

SBST shouldn't have taken KUBs from 27, they should have taken from other services.

After the fleet add on 113, I checked out the loading of one of the buses at 8:05pm at Bet kovan bus stop

SBS892T 113 @ 8:02pm arrived, with 57-60 pax in the bus, fully seated with few standees. The bus ahead was 5-8 mins away [5 bus stops away] , which was arriving blk 105 mkt/fc ( i checked iris app). It seems that 113 could be getting another fleet add soon? The DDU on 892T was red, which means that it was early and it was getting 57-60 pax despite being early. If it was on time wouldnt the bus be full? The BC was flooring the bus at 55 - 60 km/h throughout even though she was early. Perhaps she wanted more rest time at HCI?
