LTA's Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP) (Part 2)

last SG · 2013-12-16T21:55:55+00:00

74 needs BSEP. Loading at AMK MRT is high. Needs more WEG as 3672S to 3676G is fleet replacement. Also AMK MRT, loading is high for all buses. You have 25, 7...

I wonder can service 4 use dds or not. That service usually gets very crowded with Tampines and Changi residents during peak hours.

Svc 4 no need DDs,just revised the runtime and add 2 split buses.

SBS3688Y SG

should sv138 use DDs during weekends?

SBS5010P SG

You have to be serious that you say 43, 45, 49 give DDs to other services.

43 - fully justified - heavy loading BG - NEX, PL - Marine Parade

45 - fully justified - this route - amazes me how many long distance travelers take it

49 - it is a brand new route and we have to see.

119 - not justified for sure.

Wad im saying that 43 and 45 has more than enough dds. AM Peak Sv 43 only BKG to SGN fully utilised.

SBS5010P SG

should sv138 use DDs during weekends?

good suggestion! but dunno the road/loop at mandai can anot

Wad im saying that 43 and 45 has more than enough dds. AM Peak Sv 43 only BKG to SGN fully utilised.

45 agreed. 43 can get 1 or 2 SD slot converted to DD. 43 is also very well utilized between Paya Lebar and Marine Parade.

BusAnalayzer SG

should sv138 use DDs during weekends?

Good suggestion. Long queues at Zoo during Sundays/PH for sure. Can have crossover DDs from sv 70 or 166 to do 138 on weekends.

Sorry for the late post, but I would like to mention something about 120... Yesterday, I saw a Citaro (SBS6381L if I'm not wrong) at Gillman flyover along Alexandra Road. It was quite filled up in the PM peak, with many standees). Looks like 120 does have a load, which it probably gains from Alexandra Retail Centre or nearby. I guess it helps commuters to get to Redhill/Tiong Bahru Road faster, as it goes straight at the junction with Jalan Bukit Merah past IKEA, unlike 51 which loops around Queensway and Commonwealth Ave, which commuters would have used to take (or take 51/61 to Alexandra Hospital, then change to 33 to Redhill/Tiong Bahru). So, 120 at that part is not really redundant, as far as I can say...

Good to hear

43 enough alr...

SBS5011L SG

I seriously think there should be a feeder bus from Serangoon INT to Lorong Ah Soo (Loop). Residents there cannot keep depending on sv 45 and sv 53 for 4 bus stops wad, they are long-distance routes. If commuters want to travel beyond lorong ah soo need wait for next bus, which can be very frustrating. 113A can run full day..

BusAnalayzer SG

And that's where I had suggested a modification for sv 113

113

Serangoon Interchange

Upper Serangoon Road (sv 45 stop)

Upper Paya Lebar Road

Lor Ah Soo

Hougang Ave 1

Tampines Road

Upper Serangoon Road (Kovan MRT)

Hougang St 21

Hougang Ave 1

Lor Ah Soo

Upper Paya Lebar Road

Upper Serangoon Road

Serangoon Interchange

This service can have 5 buses - 3 DDs, 2 KUBs

With this there is no need for 45A or 53A, 53B

SBS3050L SG

SBS3693G SBS3694D SBS3695B should be deployed to 43. High loading at several sectors. SBS2630U out.

SBS5011L SG

Sv 43 dosent need more DDs. It is more than enough already. The demand at paya lebar is like playing roulette. Either Sv 43,76,135 comes and the crowd would flock to that particular service. You have not seen Sv 43 during AM peak. Most of the sectors are empty

BusAnalayzer SG

Well, it is not as bad as you make it sound :)

SMB128B SG

Well, it is not as bad as you make it sound :)

May I say that it IS indeed as bad as it sounds.

Some sectors are so empty that during peak even a strider has trouble filling itself.

Enough DDs alr lah... Compared to 43 5 years ago I think you should be more than happy...

SBS5011L SG

Well, it is not as bad as you make it sound :)

As a katong laksa regular i rely on Sv 43,76 or 135 to katong. Of course i know the loading pattern.

I am. There is another person here who is echoing that he wants 3 more DDs for 43. I never asked for 3. I just said upgrade 1 SD slot to DD.

I would rather 1 DD slot to 1 SD

BusAnalayzer SG

I would rather 1 DD slot to 1 SD

NO WAY. You guys have no idea of the loading of the peak loading of this service. I think you are spotting the bus in a low loading area for sure.
