HK is no utopia but Singapore should have lessons from them about point-to-point bus routes. LTA should eradicate the hub and spoke model we are using now. T...

carbikebus SG

By the way,Why WLDEP doesnt want to park their DDs at the depot?Ive seen 2 units park at the maintenance area without any problem at all..

carbikebus SG

So maybe it is

854 - 2 BSEP DDs + 1 SMRT

857 - 2 SMRT

Still remain 2 SMRT DDs to go... I think these might replace old bendies on 67 and 854

Look like it,For 3 straight days already seen the 3 DDs,4 A22 missing including the BSEP ones..Likely they cut 1 bus already

SMB3095S SG

Yes thats why I say service 860 will get DDs later. Maybe next month when the next round of registration of Enviros have been delivered. By the way, the trees along 860 are still pruning or haven't pruned yet?

carbikebus SG

Next round of E500s is only the non-Bsep batch..

SMB3095S SG

Heard that the last Enviro500 that will be registered is SMB3616P. (201st bus to be registered). I saw it on FB.

BusAnalayzer SG

Maybe for the 983 extension to Bt Panjang?

983 extension needs 4 DDs... I think those are the Bulim SP ones... but KJ still has a lot... double digit SP E500s... should transfer to AMDEP for now

S0 116 BSEP and 85 PB... this means only 08 more PB units to be registered?

They can always convert the last 8 PB units to BSEP as they are interested in A95.

Phantom.film SG

Can am I.........?

TIB429E SG

Maybe for the 983 extension to Bt Panjang?

Heard 983 getting 2 slots upgraded to DD(should be fleet add) n Bendy(12m to Bendy)

Bendy on BSEP service? I hav ma doubt. 983 good to get more dd.

SMB3602D - 169, at around 1:41pm...

Lower Deck - FULL
Upper Deck - 3 Pax only..

Quite a handful of people in the queue, BC didn't check upper deck. Which is the reason why I disapprove full DD fleet for 169, similarly for 902 having DD. It's also EXAM period btw...

TIB 585L SG

If im a RP student, i wouldnt even bother to go to upper deck, i rather take a bendy and stand at the door

array88 SG

Time to make 902 a full day service

carbikebus SG

Time to make 902 a full day service

Can but must extend the route to Industrial Park then

Theyre used to bendy buses since its SMRT territory,Give some time im sure many will go up.Those working Senoko always go upper deck

Honestly, I think it is a mentality problem. 72B is just like 902, yet the DDs on 72B go with 120 pax... with full upper deck... such that when DD comes back to terminal it is pulled back to the front of the queue...

You need to realize that 169 just does not do WRI to RP... it has a lot more stops ahead... I have seen good upper decks on 169 between AMK and Springleaf, between Yishun and Seneko & Senoko and WRI...

So this is definitely not representative. Ofcourse BC needs to do a better job if students are not going to upper deck. He will not bother if the queue is light. At 1.41pm, I don't necessarily think 169 will have a very long queue.

TIB 585L SG

They should operate 902 on RP exam days too other than RP school days, Cant depend on 169 though during the exam times.

SMB145B SG

i have seen full load on a 902 bendies. it is sure worse on a raining day.

169 bendies is almost emptied at its second stop.
