They will definitely give a bulk of DDs to Sv 190... But SMRT does not have experience with DDs... Why add to the problems of 190... Better to try out on 963...

Gus.chong SG

Nope,not the case bro..In fact they need more DDs..its a matter of spacing before Bulim open.Both Wldep and Wlbp are already at their maximum,Kranji also the same.Ang Mo Kio isnt DD friendly thats why im suggesting them to move.

True...it's still a long time to go before Bulim open, they should have really sent the O405s to scrap much earlier instead.

TIB429E SG

Agreed... Need more am buses to Shenton way for 951E.. But return service in PM still loading is poor.. Have observed not more than 20-25 pax on return journey. Think ppl leaving time different so just prefer MRT.

PM one no choice. Unless they deploy MAN A22 from 5-6:30pm, 10mins frequency.

TIB429E SG

Last Two Weeks, I email to LTA to review this Few Basic Services and it will looks into this matter.

Service 850
Yishun - Shenton Way

I think when the new Woodlands bus interchange open(near Waterfront, 2nd bus interchange I believe), 951 should starts from there. Cann served as a "Park svc" to Waterfront

As Update on Service 972
The Demands are Extremely High and need more 2 more DD and 5 more Bendy Buses to Serve, Seriously no space along Bukit Panjang Estate

Their DD always lambat abit...that time board 3501L, the driver was somewhat speeding..

MAN for this route no go. All the seats for evenings trips operated by MAN buses are chopped by ppl at Plaza Singapore bus stops

You should know that 972 is under BSEP and will not get any Bendies. But I support that in fleet of 14 buses, at least 8 should be DDs. Agreed that loading is v high on 972 just like on 190. Sv 700 loading has dropped though and between Orchard and Shenton only 20-25 pax that too the ones who board around Scott's/Orchard.

BusAnalayzer SG

Actually 951E can take less than an hour to reach either destinations..quite fast (Y) It would be meaningful for LTA/SMRT/SBST to introduce more such svc

Yes such peak period bus services are highly desirable but there is a major problem here: loading only in one direction. If you ply 951E or 850E from Shenton back to WDL/Yishun, you will not have more than 10 pax on bus.

TIB429E SG

Yes, but in this case, we are looking at the 10mins frequency from 5-6:30pm. I believe the load would be lesser.

carbikebus SG

The only MAN A22s that can fill to the max of about 80 more pax is svc 950..Cause majority of them is Malaysians and boy they sure know how to maximise every little space..unlike us complain and complain about narrow aisle etc..Dont believe take a look.Wait give DDs also complain nobody goes upstairs all flooded lower deck..i believe its more to attitude and upbringing problem we Singaporeans are..Wait give 3 mins per bus also complain wasted of resource…haiya very hard to please ah.Drive car on the road also see many type of kookoos be it luxury car drivers or what..drive one hand smart phone on the other till enter others lanewithout even apologised..I mean seriously we do have attitude problem ie selfish arrogant bastards..so sorry we i have to say that

BusAnalayzer SG

I agree with everything u said here.. There is a problem in the way we are brought up. I have traveled the world and can surly say that Singapore quality of life is one of the best. But the kids don't realize this and wait for every opportunity to blast the gahmen and Singapore.

look at Europe.. So much problem.. Negative birth rate has put country into recession. Lower marriages, lower birth, lower consumption. I think in a way our gahmen is taking good steps in tourism and infrastructure to keep our recon kicking but morons here don't understand or appreciate that.

carbikebus SG

Everything is true except the Government parts..There is always a high price for every nice thing here u see..I miss the old 90s and early 2000s..Now so many Chinaporeans,Filiporeans etc...I dunno if im a first or second class citizens now..No need to talk about the millionaires ministers..

SMB128B SG

I missed early 2000s.

The society was so less screwed up.

It was the time when media was truly appreciated, when a sense of local culture was still strong, when life was simple and less pressurized, and when Singapore was still strong in its English culture (now they sadly mixed it with other languages making SG kinda 半桶水 in everything). When life had more variety and perhaps, when life was life.

If I had a time machine, I would love to return to the past.

carbikebus SG

What to do?They need these people to maintain their powers in future cause they know lotsa Singaporeans dont favour them anymore..

carbikebus SG

Back to topic,I got a feeling that SMRT will have other brand of DD in mind(MAN maybe) once the 201 buses is registered.

What makes u feel so?

Gus.chong SG

What makes u feel so?

I would rather feel that SMRT should purchase some more E500s, after all Volvo is still handling the manufacturing of over 500 B9TL chassis for SBS Transit...

What makes u feel so?

Dunno leh my instinct says so..
