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...

852 dont need, it is a backup service for 851/74 and other service. If they miss 852 to Yishun, got 851 who has higher freq

Still has a good load for passengers going to Bukit Batok (the west) though... A few passengers do take 852 from Yishun to Bukit Timah and Bukit Batok. It would not be operating in the first place if people had not complained of the lack of connection to Bukit Timah Road if it was withdrawn...

TIB 585L SG

But i disagree 852 need BSEP for now, 852 frequency is still stable 10 mins per bus plus i took 852 on peak hour and off peak, the frequency still the same though

BusAnalayzer SG

SMRT should seriously give 852, 855 and 985 (more than just one) BSEP fleet add(s)... The frequency for these services need improvement...

855 needs 2 DDs, 985 needs 4 DDs...

852??? Are you joking? ;)

BusAnalayzer SG

That way every place to another place there will be travelers. Take 852 and observe loading.. If u see people who board at yishun alighting at bukit Timah then tell me.. Also tell me how many.

Many times PM peak observed 852 trailing 74 form Bukit Timah with only 30-35 pax on board which are leftovers of 157/74. These will alight before AMK and new load from Marymount to Yishun with another 30-40 pax. Yes if 74/851 have not called the stop for long then, loading can be even dd worthy but that is more coz of inefficiency of other two services than to merit of 852.

852 the most need 1 more PM peak crossover from other svc especially from BBT towards Yishun..851 need 14 high cap buses and 2 split duties can reduce liao..High freq but always packed OCs and Citaros

TIB1105H SG

A new service 222P which will be operated by CDG will be introduced to cater to the load of current svc 222. The peak hour BSEP service 222P will ply from Bedok Mrt to serve Chai Chee area and back to the MRT station again, the service will commence on 29 April which is today.

When is 307P turn? LOL!! 307 frequency is turning worse these few weeks..

carbikebus SG

307 is mainly SMRT ridiculous run time and deployment..Should have 2 bsep buses covering A/P and split..And all work fine no need 307P

240P is a waste of money~

Totally agree. When SBST also improved the service so much in past year from 4 DDs to 7 DDs. There is no need for 240P

I have spotted EMPTY DD bunch up, deployment of 240 wasn't organised. Should mix around with the SD...

I guess the peak period svc is under some contract which expires 1/2 years? If the situation doesn't change, I think there might be major profit lost...

carbikebus SG

I was so surprised when 240 gets 95% DDs in its fleets..Come with this 240P make it more worse..LTA really jumble things up in the name of enhancement.

So many BSEP DDs... To keep spare? Lol

TIB429E SG

Actually this could be better...

179 : 20 Buses
179P : 12 Buses [Operates between the bus stop outside Jurong Point to NTU]

A proper, bigger and better bus stop for Boon lay coach and buses...

A wider road to cater to the road demand...

And I believe the extra buses from 179 can be use for other services which serves good usage. SBS Transit can also choose 179A which terminates at NTU in the morning, start from NTU in the evening...A proper railway connection is needed for the demand of NTU students~

SBS3688Y SG

i think when resources are stretch to the max during certain times and the pax volume are overwhelmingly huge, the ntu and also other institutions should work together to further stagger and spread out the tutorial timings. when i was in poly the class during certain days can start at 10 or 11am and end at 2 or 3pm

the school population today is very different from a couple decades ago due to steep increase of population. likewise for the entire sg population. so it should be a 2 way kind of traffic.

Hmm but did NTU charter buses for them? Like how NP did? I know it's not the same level here(if u get what i mean), but the least for such location should have shuttle buses...or even some train service.

TIB 585L SG

With shuttle bus also NP students infested Clementi MRT Bus stop and clogged buses like 184/154 wich took 5 mins to depart the bus stop

lemon1974 SG

all these school buses services should be under LTA BSEP instead.. govt should be paying for the running of these bus services (179/199/96/151/95/902/72B/74/31A/184) etc etc... so that the resources can be free up to improve other services instead..
