254/255/257 loads can easily cross 100 pax.. Why no BSEP yet or even fleet add from SBST side... Totally ignore the JIS area.

SBS5010P SG

113 another fleet add. total fleet size : 9 buses

carbikebus SG

Non Bsep add right?

SBS5010P SG

Last week non bsep add 5232R

this week is crossover from 27 during pm peak.

SBS5010P SG

Last week non bsep add 5232R

this week is crossover from 27 during pm peak. I saw 2 113 buses departing kovan stn. Checked schedule all the buses were arriving on time +\5 mins. At 6.53pm shud be 921T only but ytd i saw a random citaro bunching wih 921T. There is alr a 113 in front at Lorong ah soo already.

I didnt see the citaro during afternoon so shud be crossover ba

carbikebus SG

Its better 8 normal 113 and 2 Citaros for 113A…Dont mess up with runtime also

SBS5010P SG

113 PM peak hour run time can go up to 1hours20mins max.

113's ett nvr change but on SBST side they added buses

Now 113's freq at kovan stn quite good le. 5 - 10mins for 113 or 113A

SBST now very smart, deploy citaros to cater to the timings where pax no need squeeze and kubs/mk4 to cater to the timings where alot of pax cant board or having hard time to squeeze

Fleet add for Sv 22, 45, 72

3410G --> AMDEP 22

3411D --> AMDEP 72

3413Z --> AMDEP 45

* Sv 45 cruising near 50% DD fleet... Simply amazing considering that until 2012, it had only 2 DDs in its fleet.. I think this Sv has had the highest improvement, even more than Sv 43

* Love that AMDEP is pretty quick to deploy its WEGs ... Except for 3347/3348 that I feel are purposely kept SP.

carbikebus SG

Every depot sure need Sp Wab DDs bro…Cannot all deploy to perm Svc..For a big depot like Amdep at least must have 3-4 Sp Wegs

carbikebus SG

And for the additional DD on 45,This morning spotted lots of 45 DDs only half full..

Many long distance travelers on sv 45. Hence, I like the decision to put more DDs for this service. Also lot of ITE students take sv 45 to Serangoon and Jalan Eunos areas. Observed people who board along AMK Ave 10 only start alighting from Serangoon onwards in PM and in AM, most ppl alight along Eunos Link.

Lsk138 SG

for sv 159 i think this is a svc still with most of the old SD buses among all the SVCs from HGDEP so far cannot get DDs also nevermind but somemore cannot get WAB new perm buses also taken out and replaced back with more old buses(downgrade) in return so unlucky .

this svc also dun get any BSEP buses after 6304K

so far 6125 & 6304 only left still on this svc .

SBS5010P SG

haha and 159's kub went to 113 when 113 already 90% full fleet kub.

Ok lah many people like 159's deployment because many seats ma.

159 has lost its loading... I think by giving poor buses, no high capacity buses, LTA/SBST have been successful to move pax to sv 50, 88 and 109 from sv 159. Now days, sv 159 gets 50-55 pax during peak. Earlier ppl were not able to board and needed DDs.

SBS5010P SG

Now dk which bus from 27 crossover to 113 during pm peak

SBS5010P SG

I use 45 frequently and most of the demand are students from Lorong ah soo to AMK where we nyp students and ite students depend on this bus svc. Also 45 only bus svc to kaki bukit. 45's more of a school bus service i would say

23ispolo SG

23ispolo,I didnt say svc 10 need minibuses…Only svc like 42 suits them..But again i dont think its viable for PTOs to buy with the exceptional of SMRT Bus Plus

When did I mention about minibuses on 10? Please tell me if I did...

Anyway, took SBS7671T on 10 (duty 35P) on Monday (18 August), bus arrived 5 mins early at HarbourFront Stn (Kent Ridge Ter direction, 7.29p.m. instead of 7.34p.m.), so bus was 10 mins after the front bus (SBS7345K on duty 15S, 7.19p.m, finally on time!) instead of 15-16 mins... Bus had around 30 - 45 pax onboard until my stop (arrived 5 mins early at 7.48p.m.), but the loadings were mainly affected by MRT stations (for example, many pax alighted at Pasir Panjang Stn and many pax boarded at Opp Haw Par Villa Stn). I think 10 has different loadings at times, so it depends on when you observe... (Observations by me around 7.15p.m. to 7.50p.m.)

I think 10 can still stay, just that frequency beef-ups are needed... The 2 BSEP Citaros are not really much help for the frequency (SBS6351Z is A/P, while SBS6429J is split) Also, the weekend loading is not as high, so I am not surprised at the number of DD to SD downgrades...

Honestly, for the current loading... frequency is good enough... no need to add any more buses to sv 10. Also between Harbourfront and Kent Ridge you have sv 188, 143, 30 all with good frequency.

Another thing to note: 10's loadings are usually higher from Tampines to Tanjong Katong Road/Mountbatten Road. Not trying to say 10 needs frequency beef-up...

Please mention time frame. Yes 10 does have very high AM loading towards Shenton way as well... and PM from Shenton Way to East Coast..

BusAnalayzer SG

3414X should be the BSEP add on sv 50 from AMDEP side.
