Capacity Upgrade/Downgrade Reporting on Bus Services

BusAnalayzer SG

Sv 64 has now a fleet of 12 buses and not 11... One SD added... So now 8 SDs, 4 DDs.

Funkyspyspy SG

Most of 159's WAB buses(chiefly the Citaro, since 159 is not considered WAB) has been handed over to other services(The WAB service's KUBs have been given to 160/170/170X), the replacing fleet is additional(the trade between b10m and Citaro/KUB + more) Volvo B10Ms from cross-border fleets. It increased the frequency of 159 dramatically, and bus-bunching is more common now, sometimes seems intentional.

First we had:
Bunching observations

Then this thread appears

Next we will have threads like...

Buses with spoilt stop buttons
Buses with vandalised seats
Routes with full single deck
Routes with full double deck
Improvement of frequency
Buses with long waiting times
etc.

Some observations you (as in everyone) noticed may be so similar in scope with an existing thread that it could be discussed in that thread (eg redeployments for this thread), others are so insignifcant or common (like the bunching thread) that you might as well keep those information to yourselves and learn to suck it up like the rest of the commuters do.

Too bad you have a problem. You can choose to ignore! Cheers!

SBS8676Z SG

161 does not have weekend SD slots anymore starting as of 1st June. Full DD fleet like on weekdays and like 168.

In fact on Sat 31/5 already most perm WEGs are spotted. Yesterday there was still 1 MK4DM spotted at night though. And indeed 161 do have a demand on weekends especially between Sengkang to Woodlands part.

Btw how u know about the weekend fleet arrangement?

If you claim that Upper Aljunied is not the reason why Sv 100 has no DDs, then you should also know the reason. When I had written to SBST, it clearly mentioned trees with low branches along Upper Aljunied as the reason.

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.

They always priority to other basic svc first..JIS all DD fleets still can manage..off peak quite jialat..Sunday and PH no need mention.Probably when all the WEGs and Citaros complete their registration then maybe each svc will get at least a bus.

Capacity Increase

sv 112 got capacity increase, by one fleet addition.

I can foresee that once flats along ave 7 are completed, there will be 2 DDs deployed on this service.

Bad move by SBS Transit.

The Run time for this svc is too long. You can see several Sv 112 Buses resting at interchange with interval of 15-20 mins at the interchange due to the long rest time. Could have just increased trips. Sv 112 alr got bunching during off peak and peak hr.

Capacity Downgrade

sv 97 lost 1 DD slot to SD.

Now 11 DDs, 15 SDs (earlier was 12 DDs, 14 SDs).

SBS5011L SG

79 on sundays only got 4 buses (40min freq). SBST should let 79 have 2 more buses running to act as a feeder for teban residents. The industrial area still got demand leh on sundays.

Long rest time is coz it is a loop service. I don't see much bunching on sv 112. I know you are upset that sv 113 still has not got any capacity increase or upgrade

Did you forget that there is 143/143M for Teban residents... and no, industrial areas do not have deman on Sundays.

Nah i aint upset. Just voicing out. If you observe in the kovan area, bunching will occur very frequently. If 113 dosent get capacity increase or upgrade, so be it. SBS Transit is the chess player. The people taking 113 suffer only. You see 119, no matter how ppl complain, the DDs wont get removed. :P
