On Monday afternoon I was observing sv 201 at different locations. I have to say that sv 201 fails to take in pax at Teban Gardens as people there still prefer to take buses to Jurong East. There were instances where at least 7 pax at each of the 2 bus stops along Teban Gdns Rd choose not to take sv 201 when it came. There were people alighting at Teban Gdns Rd, but few. As for Pandan Gardens side, the situation was better as people are taking sv 201, but generally they just take whatever came first. Overall loading from Clementi to Penjuru/Teban/Pandan is still very low, like less than 10 pax. (Note that these are not during peak hours, but loading during peak hours is also low)

How's the loading at Penjuru Rd? Are there pax boarding/alighting there, or they prefer to use the Teban Gdns stop with more bus svcs? I think pax are used to taking bus to Jurong East for shopping/ transferring to MRT etc, though 201 is a good alternative as Clementi stn is more direct if pax are heading towards central area via MRT.

I think he means extend via Seletar, Yishun Ave 1 to terminate at Yishun or Sembawang. That route makes lot of sense, as would give Ring road, interior Yishun residents direct connection, as well as connect Seletar airport to Yishun.

But with 103 extension to Yishun (if it happens, and I recommend it does), they need to do something to sv 85 to make it more worth its while.

they can amend sv85 instead to seletar west link and yishun ave 1/8...

they can amend sv85 instead to seletar west link and yishun ave 1/8...

Yes that could be a good amendment, also providing direct access to seletar aerospace to sengkang.

array88 SG

EDIT: Usually 2-5 pax alighting but very few boarding (during off-peak hours, but at this time Teban Gdns Rd has 7-8 pax waiting at each bus stop).

sv 990 loads continue to be quite low, sv 201 is doing better, sv 41 is doing quite well (as observed from my car... haven't personally taken it yet).

proudtobeme SG

i went to jurong to see svc 990 load. very bad. i took bus from jurong to bukit batok at 6pm after studies.

jurong east to imm - 05 people on bus

imm to toh guan road - no one got down, 10 people on bus

bukit batok ave 1 - 12 people on bus

bukit batok east ave 6 - 05 people on bus

before bukit batok mrt - 12 people on bus

wow... didnt expect it to be that low.. i had seen empty buses... but this is really bad loading during peak hours... possible that there was another 990 bus ahead? if you are okay and possible for you, do try and observe more...

dupdup77 SG

All, I have noticed a steady stream of people waiting at sengkang east rd Blk 323B bus stop at around 8.50pm to 9.50pm daily for sbs 85 to head to khatib/yishun. From my observations, I suspect this could be the stall holders or others from the hawker centre at kopitiam square going home. Quite a decent crowd for sbs 85 which has always seen below average ridership. Cheers.

Nugnug392 SG

proudtobeme SG

Some loadings at SG Zoo:

18:44 138 Citaro: 15-20

19:01 927 (1413X): 21

array88 SG

Note: After recording the loadings above, I saw two 138 Citaros coming and I boarded one of them. If I'm not wrong, one had 30-40 pax and one had less than 5 when leaving the zoo. (Somehow I can't edit this into the previous post)

BusAnalayzer SG

138 frequency has improved quite a bit, hence loading has spaced out. At the same time, main weekday loading for 138 comes from Springleaf, AMK North to AMK MRT.

carbikebus SG

Ive check svc 39 loadings for days and it only need 4 DDs the most during peak hours,Off peak loadings the KUBs can manage.85 meanwhile Citaro can handle.
