24 has split buses starting at CGA, buses have to travel from AMDEP all the way to CGA. 13 is really one troublesome svc when it comes to buses starting thei...

BusAnalayzer SG

1st 24 from AMK is the 3rd bus from CGA, but the 7th bus back at AMK.

1st 53 from BSH is the 5th bus from CGA, but the 14th bus back at BSH.
1st 53 from CGA is the 1st bus from Pasir Ris Dr 12 at 0520hrs.

Back from the dead? :) good to see you back.

in future 53 can be partial controlled by LYDEP.

BusAnalayzer SG

So you think brbp can handle once Bidadari completed?

Yes it definitely could... Some service redeployments would have to be done. Move 60, 154 to BNDEP. Bidadari would have what - one feeder, one trunk? How many routes would you expect coz the area under development does not look huge. Also with LYDEP, some BRBP services like 88 can be partial controlled by LYDEP.

BusAnalayzer SG

43 87 & 136 Hgdep to both Interchanges very near no need dual depot.

Probably Loyang can help Brbp by taking major duties from 8 31 & take few 88 duties.59 also can take a few from Amdep..

43 can go CGBP or BNDEP partial control. Much nearer than HGDEP.

carbikebus SG

Not necessary mah unless it is long distance.Hgdep to UEC also not that far either.153 can go single depot why 43 cant?136 should stay as it is.Punggol to Amdep is very near.3 39 59 probably make sense..50 141 IMO also no need dual depot.

SBS 6238T SG

Should 27 and 89 be dual depot control with BNDEP?

carbikebus SG

So Bndep side end shift at Airport & Cargo complex respectively?

TIB 585L SG

136 no, Punggol to AMDEP is very near around 15-20 mins journey. 136 and 86 shld stay as it is. 50 and 141 i dont think need dual depot GL1 and TPY to BRBP quite near. 50 Punggol and Bishan go AMDEP also near

BusAnalayzer SG

But if you have to create space at HGDEP, then you will need to move a few services around. Else, HGDEP is already crowded to take in more services.

Should 27 and 89 be dual depot control with BNDEP?

I think Sv 89 might go to Loyang? I noticed some Sv 89 downroutes early in the mornings at around 0620-0645hrs in the past months starting from PSR Dr 12 or even halfway down PSR Dr 1 towards Changi Cargo Ter, so maybe it's easier if those early downroutes are based in Loyang?

But if you count distance & travelling time wise, it's almost similar travelling time from Loyang depot to PSR Dr 12 to start the downroute versus from HGDEP to PSR Dr 12~

Anyway just some updates on Loyang Depot, the contractors have cleared the forestry & huge trees at the LYDEP site (which if you can look down from passing by Loyang Ave, is directly behind the Tua Pek Kong temple). It's now just barren land with the soil exposed.

It's not on the same ground level as Loyang Ave though, in fact it's much lower than Loyang Ave's, in case anyone is wondering.

Paving of grounds & installation of infrastructure should be carried out soon~

As i said 136 no need dual depot.For me if the svc is more than 20.5km per direction then its justified for dual depot.The one who need create more space is AMDEP.24,53,89 i quite agree if partial Lydep cause of its fleets and depot spacing.109 can go full Hgdep.161 need minority Amdep cause of first bus timings from WRI.

TIB 585L SG

I kept wandering what time 161 BC left to WRI for first bus, same goes for 39,13,88 if first bus start at 5.30am

SBS 6238T SG

I kept wandering what time 161 BC left to WRI for first bus, same goes for 39,13,88 if first bus start at 5.30am

My guess is about 4.00-4.30 am left depot

SBS 6238T SG

Should 161 go back dual depot control to AMDEP? 39,88 dual control possible?

BusAnalayzer SG

Should 161 go back dual depot control to AMDEP? 39,88 dual control possible?

161 no need la... 39 can get few trips AMDEP and 88 should go dual control once Loyang is operational. So should 27, 89, 109 relieving lot of space in HGDEP

If 39 wants to add downroutes instead of adding full trips, LYDEP is the go. I think this is gonna be a sooner or later thing, esp after the BSRF evaluation ends. Ditto for 27 89 109 if they want to add more downroutes starting from the PSR / Tampines Retail Park area (for Sv 27) during Peak Hours.

If 88 goes LYDEP, the first & last bus timings can be adjusted significantly already because it's definitely much closer in terms of travelling time to PSR Int than to BRBP. Even more significant is the reduction time in travelling just to refuel.

Add on 59 to Changi Village services, along with 109...

RyoRennor SG

Yes, missed that one.

59 is confirmed.

Loyang Depot will be chaotic due to the traffic conditions there. Builing a secondary road to Pasir Ris Drive 2 will be not be as smooth sailing also.
