** Loading very high in CBP - Simei area; loading also quite good between Simei and Tampines towns (may not be DD worthy but still decent load with standees)

** Order of buses that I spotted: SD --> SD --> SD --> DD --> SD (this bus bunched with the DD in front) --> DD --> SD --> DD (the bus I was onboard)--> SD --> SD --> SD

** Except for one case, observed almost no bunching

** New bus stops spotted on both sides of road of One @ Changi

** Ideal fleet: 11 buses (5 DDs, 6 SDs)... all DDs should be S shift.. full SD fleet on weekends/PH

20 need to boost their peak hour frequencies to an average of 6 mins per bus so that Single deckers is still relevant..Sometimes waiting times can be over 12 mins due to traffic conditions and after the front SD has taken all the loads,There will be DD and SD within 2 mins apart.Off peak is justified with single deckers not to mention Weekends..

BusAnalayzer SG

I think 10 min frequency is just about okay. But need some more SD to DD slot conversions. Feel 5 DDs, 6 SDs will be good enough. Moreover, I do expect some load sharing once CBP Terminal is operational as you will have new services in Changi Business Park area. Possible connection to Tanah Merah MRT as well

carbikebus SG

Weekday peak hours those commuters always shove each other upon boarding,Ever seen Chinaman fighting with a local because of shoving incident

6 SDs and 5 DDs,2 DDs run normal time and 3 on split shift but again svc 20 only had 2 split duties.

Today 333 KUB almost fully seated at 7.30 pm before Ton Guan towards Jurong East Temp Int. A total of around 10 pax alighted at Toh Guan before IMM, while only 3-4 boarded. More than half of the remaining pax alighted at IMM. So 333 seems more like an intra-town service instead of feeder...

QX179R SG

As my working area is located at Alps Ave, I'm one of the frequent commuter who takes svc 35.

Imho, during the morning peak hours, DDs should be deployed as the loading can be quite heavy after the Bedok stn b/s.

DDs are already deployed... there are 5/11 buses that are DDs... almost 50% fleet...

Yes, I know. What I meant were the timings of the DDs deployment.

So after 35 working hours how do you get to and go back from work?They should extend the timings for ALPS or introduce a service from Changi Village to loop there

maybe the route i suggest would be much useful especially for airport and cargo workers..

CV Terminal > Telok Paku Road > Changi Coast Rd > ECP > Airport Terminals 1-3 and back

(maybe the 2nd one can help a bit of bus 35?) and also operate full days including weekends

Better make this service do a detour at Alps Ave, svc 35's demand is not along Changi Coast Rd or Telok Paku Rd...

yeah, maybe can turn to alps avenue also.. that means use plate kind

For me, I always try to catch the 0719hrs bus from Bedok Int.

And I knock off from work at 1830hrs so it's still within the svc 35 ops timing.

And yes, I agree they should extend the timings of svc 35 or intro any new svc to loop at Alps Ave.

Loading on Mon @ 5.34pm on sv 4 - 3424S

Tampines Interchange -- 44

Tampines Ave 7 -- 49 (0/5), 51 (0/2), 49 (-4/2), 47 (-4/2), 52 (-3/8), 55 (-3/6)

Flora Dr -- 24 (-32/1), 12 (-12/0)

Changi North St 1 -- 9 (-1/0)

Changi North Way -- 42 (0/33), 68 (-1/27), 67 (-3/2) the houses here are so isolated.. and must be really scary to walk here in the night

Tanah Merah Besar -- 73 (-5/11) quite a few condos/landed houses here

Upper Changi North -- 69 (-6/2)

Flora Dr -- 74 (-2/7), 86 (-2/14)

Tampines Ave 7 -- 77 (-11/2), 74 (-5/2), 70 (-5/1), 72 (-1/3), 75 (0/3), 63 (-12/0) bef Tampines int

** Headway with bus in front = 16 min, bus behind in iris = 11 min (Citaro), 24 min (3375A)

** Bus sequence as mentioned before: SD --> SD --> DD (bus I am in) --> SD --> DD --> SD

** There is definitely DD worthy loading for sv 4... surprised it took so long for DDs to be deployed...

** The route is fascinating as it mostly caters to condominiums and not HDBs (apart from industrial area)

** On way to Upper Changi North, round 38/55 pax were on upper deck... guess due to new introduction of DDs + long distance

Wow... you go that early to work? How is the loading at that time? I know the buses around 8am to 830am at Tanah Merah are super crowded.
