There will be 2 buses that will do full route 882 and 1 bus that will do 882A. In AM, I hope there is 1 bus that does dedicated downroutes from Montreal Link

there would be 3 buses on 882 outside of the timing,

BusAnalayzer SG

What do you mean by outside of the timing?

carbikebus SG

I think total 4 including the SWT..Maybe 882 got an S additional bus.

I think it is time LTA or SBST gives a reason as to why it is terminating the operation of Premium services? This is not one of case now. Every second week they make a new announcement.

most likely that the premium services transferred out are due to the bus deployment issue. all the services transferred out now are using MK4 which is going off very soon and SBST cant be transferring buses here and there to replace those retired MK4 and even if they do so, the most can last another 2 years? and dun think KUB/citaro can cope with the passenger volume which MK4 can take and DDs are too wasteful as well on these premium routes...

BusAnalayzer SG

But they also get Premium fare for each pax... and if you see most DD premium routes have between 65-70 pax at least every morning... so thought it is highly profitable for them.

i never say that they are terminating/transferring the premium services with DDs...those with DDs are definitely profitable.. those with SDs, cannot say never earn but not earn much. so without MK4 buses, are they going to deploy 2 KUB to replace 1 MK4? or deploy 1 DD to replace 1 MK4?

Maybe you can ask Gus Chong, as he say that SBST will not be operating any premium service in 2015... not sure where he get the info from. Maybe he work in SBST.

Ok that makes sense... coz with premium service not having standees... with just 30-34 pax... service may not be profitable...

carbikebus SG

Private coach got around 40-45 seats..MK IVs around that range..KUB and Citaros how many seats?

Coach suspension is more comfort than city bus one

If you haven't been telling me all this, people will just go ahead and agree with what I am saying, after all SBS Transit seems to be handing over the Premium services quite fast somewhat. Let me tell you first, I did not get any info from anyone and it is a spectulation, but hey...it do sounds quite true, don't it? They just seems to feel that the handing over of Premium services is due to the new bus contracting model.

KUB - 34.. .Citaros also have 31 seat configuration with 4 reverse seats that hardly get occupied.

Expressways Coach is the way to go..Citybuses lost its comfort on long highways.Semi express still okay.
