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...

Service 972 are they going to added 2 more DDs.

SMB3504D, SMB3505B, SMB3506Z

Above is my own deployment for BSEP registered E500s. I think sv 972 should get 3 more DDs for now. So fleet of 6 DDs, 7 SDs good for now. Other buses should go to convert MANs on existing high loading services to E500s.

Alan 9220 SG

Great, 6 DDs are enuough for Bukit Panjang.
Just now, I call SMRT regarding about Bus Service 972 to Increasing Frequncy and I think will soon be faster instead or slower

sv 972 needs 14 buses i.e. one fleet add. At same time, ideal would be for it to have 8 DDs/6 SDs. For now, it can start with 6 DDs/8SDs and upgrade once more E500s are available.

This is the first time I see buses registered on a Sunday...great that there are more DDs...now let's wait for SMB5003U-SMB5007J to get registered.

carbikebus SG

106 also slated for DD but wasted as its already contracted by LTA later

Alan 9220 SG

Service 972
Next Months, 2 or more Bus Fleets

We refer to your feedback to us dated 28 July 2014 and we understand that you had called our hotline earlier for an update.

We are happy to share with you that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) will deploy two or more double-decker buses for service 972 in September 2014.

Suggestion Approved

carbikebus SG

Probably 6 the max..still okay than 3.

Alan 9220 SG

Probably 6 the max..still okay than 3.

Yeap, Agree.

This maybe the New Bus Fleet for Next Months.

Route plying:
Bukit Panjang Temporary Bus Park - Bencoolen Street (Loop)

Buses:
SMB3080J SMB3081G SMB3082D SMB3083B SMB3084Z SMB3085X SMB3090E SMB3091C SMB3092A SMB3093Y

Notes:

I think fleet size will remain at 13-14 buses. 3 more MANs will get upgraded to E500s.

There you go... 15 BSEP E500 registered.

3514-3515 (850E/969) transferred from AMDEP to WLDEP.

sekali they take another month for tree prunning, another month for personnel training and another for deciding which route to deploy and another month ......... until the cows come home

Like to be optimistic - hoping that next monday, already some smrt services get BSEP MAN --> E500 upgrade.

Notes:

Should maximised up to 19 buses, 8 ADL, 11 MAN.

Where inbetween 2 MAN, there must be 1 ADL.

carbikebus SG

How come the power output is 335hp?I thought its 340hp?

BusAnalayzer SG

Should maximised up to 19 buses, 8 ADL, 11 MAN.

Where inbetween 2 MAN, there must be 1 ADL.

Why 1 ADL between 2 MAN? ADLs should be timed for BPJ peak load starting at 07.20am to 8.30 am - even with 10 minute frequency 8 ADLs can be easily deployed from BPJ Interchange starting at 07.20am.

MANs should do the slots before 07.20am and slots after 08.30am as these would not have as high loading as the earlier slots. Opp direction from Dhoby Ghaut to BPJ does not have high loading.

carbikebus SG

972 is some sort same like 190..uni direction.Am towards CBD Pm towards hometown.The loadings definitely not majority from 190 cause CCK/BPJ resident also on the rise.190,700,972 is the essential svc..I don't mind they introduce basic 971 also.See the SBST premium svc at CCK and BPJ?Also got good loadings

phillipC SG

The number of HDB blocks coming up along Senja, Segar and Fajar Road.... 13MANS definitely cannot cope during the peaks hours.

BusAnalayzer SG

The number of HDB blocks coming up along Senja, Segar and Fajar Road.... 13MANS definitely cannot cope during the peaks hours.

But no more 13 MANs, already 10 MANs, 3 ADLs... soon by Sep, you will have 8 MANs, 6 ADLs... and may be by early next year, you will have 6 MANs and 8 ADLs.

BPJ Ring road also needs service to Sembawang via Woodlands, and in the other direction to Bukit Batok via Petir, Dairy Farm Rd, Upper Bukit Timah... Just one trunk service not enough.

A third service I will propose is from CCK Interchange via Ten Mile Junction to BPJ Ring road (loop here).
