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.

858 get bendy. can lta transfer some bendy for other cga service like 27, 34, 36?

Service 858 receiving articulated buses alone will probably already see more congestion in the narrow PTB basements. SBST services better not chip in for more of these buses.

Hopefully an integrated bus interchange for Changi Airport is really in the making for these services.

not nice looking for a world number one airport to have a bus interchange on main road level. LTA perfer to hide away the bus terminal at Basement

What? A world class airport should have a bus interchange on the road, and NOT in the basement. For God sake, anyone who comes to Changi airport and wants to take bus, will have a horrible impression of taking bus from a basement.

I think the concern that LTA has is not about building an interchange on the road level. Can do it easily. They are not sure how to connect all 3 terminals and in future 4 terminals. Any consolidation in one terminal is going to cause some inconvenience to commuters, while benefit to a majority. But that inconvenience to a few is what LTA is afraid of.

858 gets 4 perm bendies, and 1 crossover bendy from sv 971E... all 5 A24s.

I think max 858 will get is 7-8 bendies as they cannot afford the bendies to bunch at CGA... so mostly the order will be

S --> S --> B --> S --> S --> B --> S --> S --> B.... .....

The NG363F will be only deployed to 3 duties - 858AP14, 858AP15, 858AP16.

858AM14 - SMB8030X / 858PM14 - SMB8025L
858AM15 - SMB8031T / 858PM15 - SMB8039Y
858AM16 - SMB8037C / 858PM16 - SMB8030X

There are only 5 permament NG363Fs, mainly:
SMB8025L - 858PM14
SMB8030X - 858AM14 / 858PM16
SMB8031T - 858AM15
SMB8037C - 858AM16
SMB8039Y - 858PM15

971E/858* crossover doesn't exist at all. After SMB8025L done 1 trip on 971E under 971EAM01, it'll be deployed to 858 under 858PM14.

According to some user,

187 will be getting a fleet add, 2 A/P and 2 S1 under the Weekday schedule.

187 : Add 2 Reg & 2 S

187AP16, 187AP17, 187S151, 187S152

187AP16 - SMB1392Y
187AP17 - SMB1393U
187S151 - NL323F
187S152 - NL323F

* 187S151 will perform 3 trips on 911E during Wkday PM Peak along with 187S153 after performing 2 trips (WDL > BNL, BNL > WDL; after its Split Break) on 187.

* 187S152 will perform 2 trips on 901 during Wkday AM Peak before performing on 187 for 2 trips (WDL > BNL, BNL > WDL)

proudtobeme SG

tamp int so crowd. need to reduce 2 bus each for 291 and 293. so much bus crowding.

TIB429E SG

* 187S152 will perform 2 trips on 901 during Wkday AM Peak before performing on 187 for 2 trips (WDL > BNL, BNL > WDL)

Either 187S1 uses bendy today..

TIB429E SG

Most 963 buses seen around 12pm+ are DD Lower deck mostly seated ; upper deck rather empty(10 seats occupied), which is about the seat capacity of the A22..

Way better than before...

Svc that need to reduce buses:966 & 972.

Svc that need reduce SDs and replace with HC buses:169,176,187,854,960,969

I'm fine with the fleet for Svc 169...

I agree that Svc 859 need a fleet redeployment...

Svc 860 needs to be monitored further.. SMRT staff is currently monitoring it during Morning Peak Hours at Blk 858 bus stop.. Maybe also the bus stop at Northbrooks Sec also..
PM peak, I believe the LTA staffs are on the ground at the two bus stops (Blk 846 & Blk 624) to monitor the situation...

Svc 852 & 855 is a definitely must to have fleet addition.. Svc 852 cannot make it sia.. Either the bus drives fast or the bus comes late and the arrival timing is late...

Svc 950 needs to take back the JB-registered buses deployed on Svc 925...

IMO, there isn't a need to pamper Svc 190 too much with the High Capacity buses. The current fleet I believe is able to maybe just a fleet addition of 1 or two coz there is a duplicated service (Svc 972).. This is just my opinion... I maybe wrong to state this statement...

190 can operate with fleet of 38 DDs and 972 with fleet of 25 DDs once DTL2 opens. Cut 3 buses on 190, but upgrade all bus to DD... 972 cut 4 DDs.. No need for any SD or bendy on these two services. sv 700 can become full fleet SD with DTL2 opening.

SBS 9256 X SG

Svc 190 fleet from BUDEP can deploy DDs...

Current fleet: 41 Buses (KJDEP/BUDEP)
Projected fleet: 39 Buses (KJDEP/BUDEP)

TIB 1211 J and SMB 1649 H to be deployed to other services...

Reduce 1 bus here

Svc 972 just add one more DD can already.

Current fleet: 29 Buses (KJDEP)
Projected fleet: 30 Buses (KJDEP)

Add 1 bus here

Furthermore the bus run parallel from Stamford Road (YMCA) to Bukit Panjang Rd (Blk 223) and meet again at Blk 183 bus stop, is like they compliment each other but commuters choice to board which bus.

Given T5's close proximity to T4, I feel it would be good to have one separate int serving T4 and 5. In other words, one terminal for T1-3, and another for T4/5. This not only provides convenience for all pax, but also justifies a second int as T5 will be as big as T1-3 COMBINED. So there will not be worries about a dedicated terminal for T4 to be underutilised.

Once again I deeply regret the lack of foresight and ground work on CAAS's part, for not including a centralised bus int in the Jewel, DESPITE the problem of crowding and delays already being so rampant during the planning of the Jewel. It was the perfect location for a centralised bus station for T1-3. At least, I hope for the bus terminal to be near the Jewel in the future.

To those calling an at-grade int ugly pls go get your brain examined or something. I do NOT think having commuters shoved in a dark, stuffy and stinking basement makes the city "world-class". In fact, why not look at what other "world-class" cities do! HONG KONG has an open-air at-grade int (which accomodates DD ofc), even for the E-series routes which mainly caters to the ground staff. PARIS has an at-grade int right outside the airport. Let's see, even PENANG wouldnt force bus pax into the basement! Now look at us! Who's not doing it right now, may I ask?

so technically, only 3 bendies will be around running each time.?

Frequency on 169 during peak is about 15-20 mins, worse still with all the rigids.

Thats why need to get rid at least 4 SDs to DDs..I dont think 15-20 is daily occurence,must be the front two buses early..169 can only use majority SDs during Sundays and PHs.

3 bendy during off peak and until 5 during peak..Sometimes its 4 during off peak.
