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.

SBS7557R SG

3423U is BSEP fleet add on sv 293

Just goes to show still needs BSEP fleet add... and 293P is not doing its job well... hence needs a BSEP add.

Total fleet now 14 buses - 4 DDs / 10 SDs..

Need another 2 DDs for 293... and then fleet will be good... 6 DDs / 8 SDs is good enough for 293.

Good decision to add one more bus on 293.

3419H > SL 241.

Timetable revision on same day as sv86/163/293.

Gemsdare SG

Makes sense... coz 169 had 3 BSEP MANs... so now get 3 BSEP DDs... but someone said they saw 5 DDs on 169 today... maybe lying.

I have to apologies and misunderstanding that on 13 Oct I spotted SMB 3531A as for why is not at sgwiki as is replaces SMB 3525T.

On 13 October, Service 169
4 SMRT ADLs
3 169 BSEP: 3536-3538.
1 crossover BSEP: 3531A is replaces 3525T

BusAnalayzer SG

As predicted, sv 969 did get an additional BSEP ADL (3530C).

So now have 2 perm ADLs + 2 crossover. Now looking forward to SD --> DD conversions from SMRT side.

Also sv 190 got 2 perm confirmed 5006/5007... wonder which buses have been replaced!?!!?!

carbikebus SG

Great 969 need DDs nt bendies,Tampines Int getting crowded..For now only 67 use bendies better

969 Wldep all can use DDs while Amdep side use all SDs

SBS3004X SG

Also sv 190 got 2 perm confirmed 5006/5007... wonder which buses have been replaced!?!!?!

Old bendies

carbikebus SG

252 can convert a DD slot to SD,Load have dropped nearly 35% ever since Joo Koon MRT operational..

SBS5010P SG

Possible for 15 to trial DDs?

Sv 107M can reduce DD slots.. Lower deck and upper deck not even half seated

Wait till Tuas station opens all the JIS svcs loading will drop like 252

ButIAmAToilet SG

Sv 107M can reduce DD slots.. Lower deck and upper deck not even half seated

Telok Kurau area too small for DD, else it will get it long time ago.....

107 can survive with 7 DDs

252 load still high at Boon Lay Interchange. AM peak every bus gets 80-90 pax.. so not sure it is a good idea, given that frequency is also 12-15 mins.

BusAnalayzer SG

107 can survive with 7 DDs

So you are proposing converting 1 DD --> 1 SD. 107 just has between 50-75 pax most part of its route. It is like sv 54/56, with long distance travelers but does not ever get too crowded. I think with Geylang Bahru in 2017, 107 can even become full fleet SD given that its DD loading today comes between Geylang Bahru and Lavendar.

BusAnalayzer SG

Sv 107M can reduce DD slots.. Lower deck and upper deck not even half seated

15 cannot.. otherwise it would have been an excellent candidate for DDs.. and I guarantee it would be majority DD fleet.. even after adding 4 buses... sv 15 buses are running full capacity.

I don't know why they dont introduce 15M with DDs between Eunos and Pasir Ris with DDs...

Lsk138 SG

Is SBS 6489K the 3 rd BSEP buses added on sv 372 ?

carbikebus SG

Bro first of all SBST got many DDs to play with,7 DDs for 107 is no harm..Can put them mostly on split shift..There are certain timings a few trips is heavy loadings but still managable by current fleets..now they have 8 DDs and it wouldnt scratch a mark if one DD convert to SD..

BusAnalayzer SG

Weren't you the one who said 107 loading has dropped and DD slot needs to be converted to SD? Then why are you telling me all this... (super confused)

sbst191 SG

Ya. They have more than enuf DDs to play with just look at 119 ~ Weekends and PHs also deploy 2 DDs full day ~

BusAnalayzer SG

63M gets one more BSEP fleet add... now 7 buses for such short route..

Isn't 63M suddenly pampered so much? Before BSEP, there were only 2-3 buses on 63M.. now capacity increased 3 times...

Also no new development around the area to warrant such a high number of buses... You can spot 63/63M bunching almost on every bus towards Eunos interchange AM and PM.

That is BSEP.. it is different.. cannot compare same thing as DDs from SBST side.

Do take into account the amount of people that would either take Sv 63 or 63M to get to the industrial estates or Circuit Road from Eunos & vice versa, esp during Peak.

Although I have to agree, you'll very likely see bunching occur during non-Peak for 63M.
