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...

Depends on how you see it and interprete it. Idk about the rest of the users, but what I had posted so far about the Enviros on Sv 169 lately, was just what I feel about the timings they deployed the buses and what I observed.

If that was what you define as "bombarding", I suggest you recheck your definition of that word.

This is called a forum for a reason yeah. You can choose to reply what you want, and ignore what you don't like to see.

Regards.

When I say people, I wasn't just referring to you. And on the bolded part, I really take that seriously. I ignore a lot of crap on the forum. Cheers!

What time did you see it?

Departed 12:25PM from Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange to Woodlands.

And departed 1:42PM from Woodlands Bus Regional Interchange to Ang Mo Kio.

Yes irritating to see how people are bombarding DDs now... before this everyone wanted DDs on 169... that too DDs perm started only from Mon this week...

It's pretty weird to consider all this "bombardment". To me, the past few pages are mostly healthy discussion about the new deployment of DD on 169. Naturally, everyone has their views and perspective, which makes it a lively discussion.

To be very honest, I believe even smrt is doing trial and error tests to see which svc is more suitable for DDs. Even with their data available, it is hard to pinpoint which is best until the real buses are running in place of other solutions (more sd/bendies).

So no point fighting over which is better, just post your observations and discuss about them.

Its not a matter of DD but SMRT commuters are so used to bendy that they arent used to get to upper deck..

From my point of view svc that suits DDs

61,67,106,167,171,184,187,188,190,700,851,854,855,857,960,963,965,966,969

Service that suits both DDs and Bendies

169,172,180,189

Service that suit bendies

Feeders,Intratowns,176(Restriction),859,860,962,964

why no DD on route 190 on Sunday? Is there a real need to have a bendy on route 700A on Sunday/Sat? really problematic with this SMRT

The DDs on 190 are by LTA under BSEP. BSEP does not apply on weekends/PH. If you want DDs on weekend, complain to LTA, not SMRT.

700 bendies operate on TQ (Meaning they will get withdrawn after doing last trip of 700) and do not operate on 700A. Sundays have no bendy slots. Occasionally you still can see bendies on 700A. Feedback to SMRT instead of ranting all over the place.

Hmm I tot 5006/5007 ran on 190?

If I wasn't wrong, they are on BSEP slots.

TIB429E SG

If I wasn't wrong, they are on BSEP slots.

Nope, they were on 190AP14 iirc..plus the 3 BSEP ADL, all 4 appeared on the same day.

There dun seem to be any DDs today..i thought ever since SMB5006L and SMB5007J came out, they will be on 190 on weekends...

saw many cameos today but didnt see any DDs (or did i miss them LOL)

No_10_Tomas SG

DD won't be deployed on weekends lah

except 972

5006/5007 should be fleet replacement from SMRT side not BSEP.

BusAnalayzer SG

DDs should be deployed on 190 on weekends from SMRT side in future. There definitely is high demand.

SMB145B SG

DDs should be deployed on 190 on weekends from SMRT side in future. There definitely is high demand.

hopefully, a full fleet DDs on 190

SBS 9631X SG

yup AM peak, thanks a lot :)

Around 0715-0720hrs usually outside Yishun MRT Int bus stop in direction to Woodlands for 3537J's timing currently during AM Peak.

So you roughly calculate beyond that uh if you're taking it somewhere down the route.

azharjj SG

DD won't be deployed on weekends lah

except 972

yesterday (sunday) 972 only got 1 DD (3502)

the rest are SDs haha

SMB42P SG

5006/5007 should be fleet replacement from SMRT side not BSEP.

yup! that was what i meant..cos 50XX series are from SMRT side already..quite surprising that these 2 buses did not operate last weekend..
