Hi mr sbst191, I don't agree with sbs 136 terminating at kovan station or opposite hougang mrt area (take note hougang plaza is no longer there and the site is being taken over by midtown residences). Firstly, if sbs 136 terminates at kovan station, then there will be no major differences between sbs 82, sbs 119, sbs 136 all originating from Punggol, save for some minor routes difference. Secondly, I observe crowds along upper serangoon road taking sbs 136 to serangoon garden way. The linkage between Punggol, sengkang, hougang, to serangoon gardens (chomp chomp area) must be maintained as it serves a vital loading. Thanks.

Hi mr dupdup77,

i said to introduce a SWT 136A for the students.

Hi mr sbst191, oh okie I short read about 136A. It is my bad. As long as there is no shortening of sbs 136 to kovan, it will be okay for me. Thanks.

As far as i agree 136 doesnt need DDs it can do with an extra 2 split crossover duties from other svc.Maybe sbst191 should change his nick to sbst113..just kidding..For 113 a bsep split bus for a start will be good..

DDs would be more productive and utilised effectively if it was on Sv 22 instead of Sv 136.

136 does not need DDs at all. The loadings BusAnalayzer may have observed it when the bus was late. I have not seen a single 136 full to the brim until it needs DDs.

I would recommend split bus from 317/325 to do 113? If BSEP that would be good, rather than sharing resources.

Maybe SBS926E from 115 can do 113A 1 round before going back depot?

dupdup77 SG

Wow so many differing opinions about sbs 113. Before I offer my opinions on sbs 113, I shall go and joyride a few times during both peak and non-peak hours for sbs 113 these few weeks. This is to prevent any biased opinions built up during my previous rides or after reading these comments in this forum. I shall keep an open eye during my rides. Cheers.

carbikebus SG

No,113 need a split bsep bus ie Citaro to cater all this..113A can get xover from other Hg svc

carbikebus SG

I agree with u that 136 doesnt need DDs at all,just add 2 split rigids will do during weekends

carbikebus SG

115 good extend to ply defu ave 1 terminating at St 21

Actually 136 has some split duties already right ? From sv 22 bc? Why not they just drive Sv 22 single decks?

For 115, not sure if commuters would wait 30 mins for this svc into defu lane. Who knows? Maybe it will be successful like Sv 261?

For 113, there were 2 split duties for this svc. Aft it was made WAB, its fleet got cut by 1. It used to have 8 buses with SBS2657T Perming it before.

sbst191 SG

After 6.30pm (kovan station) towards upper paya lebar would be wise to observe. Off peak very unpredictable. Sometimes the bus can be really packed. AM peak after 7am lorong ah soo towards hougang central int and 6.45am onwards (kovan station) towards upper paya lebar road.

115 can do with 2-3 buses if they start from Hgdep via Defu then loops at st 21..

My dear... There are only 2 trips during the whole day when DDs run on Sv 136. I can tell you these are timed for all schools around Sengkang. You can already see 70+ pax on 136 towards Sengkang from Punggol after which loading drops. Post Kovan agreed loAding is low.

I am not against crossover for 113 - instead I have kept saying that you can also have crossover DDs from 107/153/89 that come back to HG and can do crossover trip on 113A just like 139A style before going back to depot.

carbikebus SG

No need crossover DDs la if the 70 odd loads is just a couple of trips..students somemore.Just KUBs will clear the loads.

Why bother so much about 2 dd trips in the whole freaking day. Let them stay. SBST has enough DDs if other service needs too.

BusAnalayzer SG

The main culprit where DDs should seriously be transferred to another service is 119.

taken it in the peak of peak timings to check.

am peak: reached 65-68 pax at few stops along Rivervale area

pm peak: 50-55 pax loading around Punggolmroad before Rivervale area and then drop to 25-30 pax within Sengkang and Punggol.

If SBST have more DDs then why bother the 2 DDs on 119?Let it be..

Coz those are full day perm, not crossover... Sad to see you don't see the difference.

I have seen DDs appearing on Sv 136 during off peak also. Same goes for Sv 93.
