Capacity Upgrade/Downgrade Reporting on Bus Services

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.

I suspect there is an SMRT agenda against Yishun and Sembawang customers... LOL

Okay enough conspiracies if not the trolls will come out again.

Hahahaha SMRT against Yishun and Sembawang! What a joke! Its all because of AMDEP height restriction and AMDEP mostly covers Yishun area thats why many Yishun services cannot get Enviros! So just wait for AMDEP to finish its modification. But i don understand why Sembawang don have DDs like 167 and 980. They are mostly partially from WLDEP and it can get enviros more easily. If for Yishun services to change duties to WPDEP to get enviros is very hard. Thats why its better that AMDEP will be taking Enviros later

Indeed DDs on 860 are long overdue. It is unhelpful that SMRT is only adding more and more A22s and only very recently using a non-BSEP bendy. What is with SMRT being a refusenik and taking so long to put DDs on 860?

I think they didn't realize that 860 will get so over loaded just in matter of few months. this has to do with two things:

1. Opening of new flats and higher occupancy level

2. People preferring Khatib MRT as it is easy access to MRT with less walking

Hence, 860 loading suddenly sore up. So now they are taking action on AMDEP that they should have done long before. With loading forecasting, SMRT has always been weak in that aspect.

969 has so many rigids spamming on it... still more than 50% SD fleet... I think SMRT needs to prioritize 969 and get it more DDs.

TIB429E SG

Haha I tot there's 1 850Ex860 slot or something? There's 1 WLDEP crossover slot for 860..

Can upgrade that slot what..like 854x860 that uses bendy bus..

BusAnalayzer SG

3533X --> KJDEP 188 --> KJDEP 985

So now all 3 BSEP slots on 985 are DDs... AMDEP BSEP was transferred to 985 as well... looks like AMDEP was sudden change... otherwise 961 BSEP and 985 BSEP would have remained with AMDEP... and they could have converted the SD slot to DD instead of transferring the BSEP slot to KJ/WL.

that 850Ex860 slot is from AMDEP, yeah 850E has buses from both WLDEP and AMDEP.

now that AMDEP has DDs there can be no excuse for not having DDs on 860.

TIB868X SG

3533X --> KJDEP 188 --> KJDEP 985

now the administrative execises of transferring those AMDEP 961and 985 BSEP duties to other depots, so that they could be converted to DDs slots, look like an utter waste of time. assuming only the depot parking changes and that they park at WL/KJ but still start at GL1, its a total waste of fuel. inefficient practices as usual.

969 as well, makes no sense for it to be full WLDEP, total disconnect from common sense. now that AMDEP can have DDs, at least those DD blocks that start at tampines can park at AMDEP.

fun fact: when 854 still had duties from WLDEP, some of them started at bedok. OS from WLDEP to bedok. insane.

Service like 75,190,960,966,969 & 970 need minor Amdep control.I dont understand the need of 925 to be dual depot when either Kjdep or Wldep can solely control.

925 can be just KJDEP.

Sbs6750E SG

I cannot understand why 87 bndep controlled instead of hgdep when hgdep is nearer to Sengkang/bedok?

carbikebus SG

I cannot understand why 87 bndep controlled instead of hgdep when hgdep is nearer to Sengkang/bedok?

Most probably Hgdep facing over capacity thus 87 was transfered to Bndep.

BusAnalayzer SG

sv 45 got another BSEP WEG add from BNDEP side. No sv 33 crossover anymore. The KUB slot has been upgraded to WEG. Can someone confirm this? Thank you.

TIB429E SG

that 850Ex860 slot is from AMDEP, yeah 850E has buses from both WLDEP and AMDEP.

now that AMDEP has DDs there can be no excuse for not having DDs on 860.

Really? But 3114X is listed 850Ex860 and it's WLDEP O_o...

And what I meant was since it's WLDEP, and 860 needs more HC buses, why LTA or SMRT didn't upgrade that slot then?

carbikebus SG

925 can be just KJDEP.

I dun mind Wldep either but its ironic for the svc to have dual control where svc like 960 & 966 need it more.

BusAnalayzer SG

Funniest is 141 that is dual service with 9 buses... brbp has 3 duties, hgdep has 6.

carbikebus SG

That one really gone case..Should let Hgdep control since its originated from Lor 1.Svc 50 also can Amdep solely control.52 is the one need dual control

Sbs6750E SG

141 just brbp, 50 amdep, 87 hgdep, 59/88 can minor bndep, 109 can full hgdep.

BusAnalayzer SG

141 just brbp, 50 amdep, 87 hgdep, 59/88 can minor bndep, 109 can full hgdep.

You have to consider HGDEP has limited space, hence 87 was transferred to BNDEP as it has CGBP as supplementary depot that HGDEP does not have.

BusAnalayzer SG

sv 963 gets 2 more BSEP E500s.

3595R and 3596M posted to sv 963. In addition, now only 1 bendy left on 963. Bendy slots changed to DD.

BusAnalayzer SG

Did sv 169 get one more BSEP add? I thought it had 3 BSEP E500s.. now seems like 3549 also is on 169... so 4 BSEP E500s + 1 SMRT E500.
