carbikebus SG I forsee other svc besides 188,951E,960 & 963..will be getting DDs also. WRI svc badly needs:187,969(Another 3) YIS temp:851,854,857 BPJ:700,972(Another 4) CCK:190(Another 10) BBT:106(Another 7),189
BusAnalayzer SG I feel very soon some of the Woodlands feeders/intra-towns will get 1-2 DDs on experimental basis. I see 900/901/913 have quite a bit of possibility due to crossover with 951E/851E.
TIB1234T SG I feel very soon some of the Woodlands feeders/intra-towns will get 1-2 DDs on experimental basis. I see 900/901/913 have quite a bit of possibility due to crossover with 951E/851E.WRI control office staffs everyday have to take turn control 903 berth to keep the timing going although the room is only few steps away... cos everyday not enough bus, staff complaint to WLDEP, also nv add perms as they say...
iveco SG Bro... why do you keep saying 61?? There are so many other buses that deserve.. 61 is good for now... 61 used to be majority DD fleet.
carbikebus SG If they decided to buy more DDs then at least can deploy a couple of Split DDs for 61..For Am peak BBT to Ngee Ann is fully packed..
TIB429E SG Hope the ADL are kept in good condition..or at least acceptable.Even PRC drivers also forsee the bus will cmi LOL
BusAnalayzer SG 61 used to be majority DD fleet.There used to be demand... with the way the service has been operated... people have moved to other services.. .frequency is very erratic.
BusAnalayzer SG If they decided to buy more DDs then at least can deploy a couple of Split DDs for 61..For Am peak BBT to Ngee Ann is fully packed..Strongly agree and recommende 61M from Bukit Batok looping @ Commonwealth Dr. The HDBs there deserve another service...
BusAnalayzer SG 61 used to be majority DD fleet.Ok for 61 to get few DDs.. but only after the heavily overcrowded services get DDs... so maybe DDs from SMRT's third order can go to sv 61. Even sv 75 needs DDs before sv 61.
carbikebus SG Strongly agree and recommende 61M from Bukit Batok looping @ Commonwealth Dr. The HDBs there deserve another service... For SMRT no need M variant but at least 61A or B..
carbikebus SG Bro SMRT only buy 103 units of DDs while BSEP only 98 units..Unless LTA decide to add another 50-60 units then you can see DDs and SDs only for 190..I also not in favour of too many bendy buses ply CBD areas like Orchard/Shenton Way or Chinatown.Bendies exclusively for feeders or those short haul service.
BusAnalayzer SG Why 190 still has many bendy buses? they should be replacedby DD buses. Have you seen SMRT register any new DDs? You will have to be patient...
lemon1974 SG Why 190 still has many bendy buses? they should be replacedby DD buses. wrong... they should be replacing 12M buses with DD... and right now, they also dun have enough DDs to go around.
BusAnalayzer SG 75 managed without DD even when SBS was in control.Loading patterns have changed since SBS era... Let's get over it... and talk about the loading pattern currently.
