@sbs5011P: with this kind of loading you can never expect DDs to be deployed on 113 right? I would advocate 1 more crossover bus for 113A but LTA /SBST clearly want to add more capacity on 53 instead due to extremely poor bi-directional loading for 75% of its route. This is the 5th time I am posting loading on 113 so it is not a one off observation but peak hour observation.

113's AM Peak loading is not as high as in the evening even though i have seen fullhouse kubs in the morning towards kovan station. I would say evening peak is much higher.

I would say 53's loading is higher in the morning because if you are rushing to work, 45 and 53 comes more frequently rather than 113. Would you prefer to go to a bus stop that has 2 bus svcs to MRT or 1 bus svc to MRT?

People along HG Ave 1 take 113 cause it's faster to Kovan MRT while Lor Ah Soo Residents take 45,53 to SGN.

SBS9000S (SLBP SP) SG

Thanks. I will. This is my core interest area.

Dear BusAnalayzer,can you do a observation for 99 please?

Dear BusAnalayzer,can you do a observation for 99 please?

Yes, it is on my to-do list :)

I just did this two months back. Can send you from my notes the loading pattern for this one.

People along HG Ave 1 take 113 cause it's faster to Kovan MRT while Lor Ah Soo Residents take 45,53 to SGN.

I am not arguing that the loading from Kovan to HG Ave 1 is high. In my observation also it comes out clearly. Though if you see the loading between Kovan and HG interchange it is at an average 20 pax. Even SDs are not used well. Hence, 113 has not got any BSEP add, forget upgrade to DD.

To compensate for low capacity between Kovan and HG Ave 1, SBST/LTA have added 4 buses on sv 53 instead. For Lor Ah Soo residents, have added 3 BSEP WEGs.

carbikebus SG

BusAnal,Can observe svc 125?

BusAnalayzer SG

Okay. Observations this week: 99, 125.

BusAnalayzer SG

sv 112 typical loading ranges

AM peak

HG Interchange -- 5/15

Upper Serangoon Rd -- 10/15

HG Ave 7 -- 40/50

Tampines Rd -- 45/55

HG St 21 -- 55/60

Upper Serangoon Rd -- 30/40

HG Ave 2 -- 20/25

HG Ave 8 -- 15/20

HG Ave 4 -- 15/20

HG Ave 9 -- 5/10

HG St 92 -- 15/20

HG Ave 4 -- 20/30

HG Ave 8 -- 45/55

HG Ave 2 -- 60/70

Upper Serangoon Rd -- 60/70

HG St 21 -- 15/20

Tampines Rd -- 10/15

HG Ave 7 -- 40/50

Upper Serangoon Rd -- 35/40

These would be typical AM loading. Sometimes loading can be very heavy from HG Ave 2 to Kovan if on HG Ave 8, 112 has arrived before 147, and on HG Ave 2, 112 has arrived before 132.

carbikebus SG

Also need favours for svc 852 & 882

BusAnalayzer SG

Try 112 too!

I foresee 112 getting 2 DDs in 2015. By then the loading towards Kovan from HG Ave 2 will cross 70+ pax and will have stronger loading from HG Ave 7 to HG / Kovan with the new flats completed.

Clementi Interchange -- 69

Jurong West Ave 5 -- 53, 50

Jurong West St 91 -- 43 (alighted here at Blk 962)

and took 241 back to Pioneer MRT from opp bus stop.

** Observed extremely heavy loading towards Jurong MRT and 70+ pax loading all the way to Jurong West Ave 1. Even after the loading was always 50+ which I think is very good. I am not sure if all 99 buses get this kind of loading, because I observed some buses do not have heavy loading as well. So I don't think high loading is very consistent, but there definitely are pockets of very high loading for the route.

Bendemeer Rd --> 58 (MOM Center) ... alighted here.

cbb bro... guess the DDs are justified and introduced and timed for the Kallang industrial estate peak loading. I am now curious to see the AM loading - will do it one of the days.

Punggol Interchange -- 13

Punggol Central -- 15, 18, 27

Punggol East -- 34

Punggol Field -- 46, 54, 68 (Citaro just managed to squeeze, packed to door)

Punggol Rd -- 68 (took a lot of time to alight/board, as around 15 pax alighted, then BC had to tell pax to move behind and then pax boarded. I saw one person went back to stop and did not board), 66

Compassalve -- 69, 70 (pax just squeezed, 8-9 pax could not board)

Sengkang East -- 66, 40 (alighted here).

** I saw two major issues while on sv 83 Citaro this morning.

1. Boarding/alighting time at stops was quite long as bus was packed to door, and pax could only board after people alighted and then oblidged to move behind. DD syndrome on Citaro!!

2. A rare sight where pax could not board? It could be because of the high boarding/alighting time at Punggol Rd, the bus got delayed when it came to Compassalve, and more pax were at the bus stop, hence could not board. PM peak, 83 loading is well controlled by Citaro.
