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...

Hi mr 22ispolo, the two incumbents mr carbikebus referring to are sbs transit and smrt. Cheers.

OK, thank you. I thought he was refering to the users here, so I got confused and asked him that question. Thank you for the explanation! Apologies for the message.

7 more services will be going under BSRF from next Monday...

SBS Transit = 51, 154, 292 and 354

SMRT = 189, 853 and 962

Everyone's wish for 51 has come true! I don't understand why 292, 354 and 853 are getting this though...

may i know why isn't 169 in?

23ispolo SG

may i know why isn't 169 in?

Sorry, I'm not sure... I got this info from the newspaper. Well, I guess that there are not many complaints by passengers on 169 and LTA feels that SMRT is managing it (and 169A) well, so they haven't included it in yet... However, who knows they might just put it in too in the next round of services under BSRF?

SBS5010P SG

i feel that Sv 113 should be included in the BSREF. Sometimes bus can come too early and too late during peak hours. Especially at it's looping point you'll never know when it will arrive.

TIB429E SG

Cus most of the passengers do not complain much like we do

ZzCrushX SG

may i know is 969 in the BSRF?

TIB1234T SG

may i know is 969 in the BSRF?

Nope...

SMB145B SG

then 853?

...

if 853 is in why not 882 and 84?

TIB429E SG

then 853?

...

if 853 is in why not 882 and 84?

Bro, he's just guessing...he isn't LTA..

All, news that Punggol west LRT (3 stations only) have got to the media. Officially open on 29 June 2014. Hip hip hooray!

Acx1688 SG

Ah, only bus info more relevant in tis thread...

23ispolo SG

Ah, only bus info more relevant in tis thread...

Maybe he can put OT in front... I guess enhancements to the LRT in Punggol (opening of three stations after such a long time finally) are considered the same as new bus routes or extensions, since both buses and trains/LRT make up our public transport system...

This is not BSEP in the first place. But it would be more relevent if it's posted in the Press Releases topic. Anyway thanks for the info. I do think we need some MRT & LRT info here as well because it's still somehow related to buses and public transport.

dupdup77 SG

Hi mr array88, you may be right but this one gives you a very strong indication that new bus services serving the LRT routes will come very soon. There are many others who post irrelevant stuff inside various topics. Mine is definitely not totally irrelevant. With this LRT, next will be the TPE bus stops. Hip hip hooray!!!

7 more services will be going under BSRF from next Monday...

SBS Transit = 51, 154, 292 and 354

SMRT = 189, 853 and 962

Everyone's wish for 51 has come true! I don't understand why 292, 354 and 853 are getting this though...

For Sv 292 & 354, I can only say that it's quite clear that SBST (or LTA for that matter) is trying to cash in on the BSRF scheme and rely on these 2 svcs to hit the quota for telling the media that "BSRF for the new bunch of svcs is working well".

Because from what I can tell, these two services have almost no problems meeting the BSRF guidelines. Heck, for Sv 354, there's even an excess of buses for that short route.

So the only reason why I can think of that Sv 292 & 354 are included...is that they are just as "safeguard measures" for SBST to hit the BSRF guidelines in case Sv 51 & 154's BSRF rollout gets screwed up big-time (we know how jialat Sv 51 & 154's freq can get at times..)

SBS2601D SG

You guys are reading too much into the matter.

Is it not abundantly clear that BSRF is the way to go with the govt contracting model?

Its like how all the threads around here talk about guessing which services will be WAB, guessing which services will kena BSEP, which buses will get what....

With standardisation being the way forward (been repeating to no avail), then these hobbies of yours may as well die off, with all these kind of speculations.

Seriously.

SMB128B SG

5 should be included in BSRF.

Realised that recently 90% of the time the bus takes >20 mins to arrive, with one less than 5 minutes behind!!

Disappointed... this service does not deserve this type of freq

Then, I bet 24, 27, 30, 53, 143 and many more services will get this BSRF soon, if people want all their services to improve...

Not I favour 5...

Seriously you go see that wretched service

I'd try to avoid it if I could but I couldn't sometimes...

27 etc. still better as they won't have you wait 30 minutes for two consecutive buses...

Do you think it would do 5 good if that service is split into two? Coz I do find that service excessively long...

It's normal to see these long winding routes, like 61, 67, 70 and 858 (Woodlands area), so I don't see how 5 is worse off than these services...
