Cleary states that quite a lot of pax alight at Sengkang Cc bus stop to transfer to other bus services heading towards Buangkok? Hmmm.

on monday (20/7) around 8.35am, sv72 queue at YCK ter is building up and no sv72 bus came back to terminal.. so the timekeeper for 72B go talk to the BC of 3353M (72B) and he proceed to pick up pax at 72 berth..

total around 120 paxes boarded the bus in around 2mins 45 sec.

still have long queue left behind. 2 mins after 3353 departed another B9TL arrive to pick up another 110 paxes in 2min 30 sec....next DD bus arrive at berth 1 min after the earlier bus left the berth and pick up around 90 paxes in 2 min plus...

all the upper decks of these 3 buses are full...

This was done yesterday.

Loading on sv 85 DD (SBS3683K) at 5.47pm (from 1 stop before Khatib MRT)
Yishun Ave 2 – [around 10 pax board] 44, [-1+18] 61 (Khatib MRT), [-1+1] 61
Lentor Ave – 61, [+1] 62, 62
Jln Kayu – [-3+1] 60, [+1] 61, [-1+1] 61
Sengkang West Way – [-6+3] 58, [-8+3] 53, [+5] 58
Sengkang East Way – [-1+2] 59, [-3+1] 57 (20 pax didn’t board), [-3+3?] 57
Sengkang East Rd – [-16+2] 43
Compassvale Dr – [-7] 36, [-5+2] 33
Rivervale Dr – [-10+6] 29 (DD in other direction had okay loading)
Sengkang East Way – [-4+1] 26
Sengkang East Dr – [+1] 27
Punggol East – [-10] 17
Punggol Ctrl – [-9+1] 9 (DD in other direction had upper deck fully seated?), [-5+2] 6, 6, [-3] 3
Punggol Temp Int – [-3] 0

- A lot of people unwilling to go upstairs (before Sengkang East Rd, 16 pax were standing)
- I just want to say that not only Sengkang West residents use 85 to Yishun. I estimate at least half of those on board before Jln Kayu are heading towards Sengkang East.

Hi mr array88, I agree. There is a substantial number of people going towards sengkang east on sbs 85. Cheers.

i took 72 from tamp int to tamp av 9 at 6.42pm today. got dd.

72 is a cash cow service. But the terminal is too small to accommodate all the 72/72B buses.. Somehow I see it as another service 74... Heavy load of passengers.

cash cow mean wat

SBS 9256 X SG

cash cow mean wat

Cash cow if I term it correctly is generating revenue due to high influx of passengers...

TIB429E SG

Saw a photo of VSO on 72B..lower deck packed, but from the front, the upper deck have 1 vacant seat. There could be more..

Base on sunlight, prob around 7:30am?

Cash cow is business jargon for a business venture that generates a steady return of profits that far exceed the outlay of cash required to acquire or start it.

Hmmm... so... what's your point... bcoz there maybe 5 vacant seats on upper deck... not to deploy DDs on 72B??

his point is that if there are any empty seats on the upper decks of any DDs, then that service does not deserve any DDs....all seats on the upper deck should be taken

Sbs6750E SG

If you all have time, can someone do loading observation of services 83, 371, 372 and 965 (DD) pls? All peak hour. Can observe different days, not necessarily at 1 go.

what! it could be because some pax are lazy to move up, at least half of all the pax don't move up, even if there are no seats on lower deck.

Haha look, did I say anything else? If no, stop assuming shits, thanks.

Peak loading in direction 1 = 52 pax (b/w HG and SGN North), 11 (b/w SGN North and NEX)

Peak loading in direction 2 = 14 pax (b/w NEX and SGN North), 14 (b/w SGN North and HG)

** Observed many people saw bus arriving status at interchange and queue quickly filled up for sv 116.. in the first 07 mins.. there were only 2 people in queue incl me, 2 mins before bus arrived around 40 pax joined queue and then while bus was on berth another 10 pax came running to catch bus (clear cannibalization of sv 72)

** Loading from NEX to SGN North lower than expected. In all my previous observations it is around 20-25 pax. I think could be because it was around +7.30pm but then 43/70/22 were going packed on opposite side

wapiang eh busanaly as long u pay u got the rights to take bus even for 1 stop only, its like saying u cant go to the upper deck if you not taking for more than 10 stops

carbikebus SG

To prevent this thing from happening,Its more better for 72A/B use single deck instead and revised the parent svc timings to supplement the loadings or extend those SWT by a few KMs

Sbs6750E SG

Just introduce 72M, Yio Chu Kang – Hougang Central (loop)

carbikebus SG

Yeah quite a good idea,Can make a turn at HCI and change to svc 72 back to YCK

Nowadays is not like the past. Nobody will want to walk the length of 2 bus stops which is equal to 800 metres. Transfer to bus costs few cents or even free depending on distance travelled. So who in his right frame of mind will walk??? There are other times to exercise and definitely people will not choose this timing.
