SMRT to get DDs soon

last SG · 2013-12-10T11:16:54+00:00

i seldom come in to post information but once i post, my information will be 100% accurate, trust me

TIB 585L SG

Meh..Always experience 15mins from 6:45am to 7am =.=" and yah..BSEP bunch with bendy buses(1-2). Always the problem.

By Right :
6:45AM : 1 Bendy bus
6:48AM : 1 Bendy bus[S]
6:55AM : BSEP
6:59AM : 1 Bendy bus[S]
7:03AM : 1 Bendy bus

Some AP buses downroute to Marsiling Drive on any time of the day according to their timesheet.

They smart mah wanna increase fare that why 181 n 860 is trunk as feeder only until 3.2km.

Yar! good thing is that 181 from boon lay to looping point is exactly 3.2km so its still like feeder unless people go take one loop...

Bus service under BSRF also like crap..these few weeks 302 so hard to wait, and once come, 2 will come together, if not, 20 mins no bus..sure fine one?

902A is kind of 179A to bring RP-ers to school fast and skip other stops.

902B is the reverse of 902A

902 is 902A and 902B

No shit lah bro

SMB128B SG

You got understand 903 situation? Most pax. are those elderly with their big plastic bags of gloceries, no point asking them carry up and down because it's just less than 5 stops away. It's only the peak hours that needs DDs[which means DDs will run mostly on S/TQ slots]

913 needs DDs during peak hours especially, most workers alight at Adm[coming from Wdl Circle], and Wdl Sec students board from there.

Frankly speaking, Woodlands Feeder don't really need DDs for most AP slots.

913 needs them but can't HAVE them. Coz most alight soon and when ppl do alight, they will cause a situation where a bottleneck would be the result if DDs are deployed.

SMB128B SG

If you want to put, the most is only 1-2 on AP slots. Otherwise, these DD resources should channel to those trunk ones. I believe they need more. However, svc like 307 should try getting DDs.

Anyway, don't miss the point...Woodlands Feeder don't really need DDs. But intra-town, probably 912/913. 911 probably can, but also Split shifts.

How many fucking times had I said?

ALL WDL INTRATOWNS CANNOT USE DDs!!!

You want the schedule to crash is it? You want everyone to have a hard time every time someone wants to alight is it?

Eh come on la...You understand the term "PROBABLY"?

Who say all Intratown can't use DD? Not SMRT also...

Even bendy not enough to cater sometimes. Further more, you can always deploy the bus as "E", need not be 912/913 alone

sv 920 - 950

sv 920

5 buses (5 SDs - no high capacity buses needed)

sv 922

5 buses (5 SDs - no high capacity buses needed)

sv 925

15 buses (10 DDs, 5 SDs)

SMRT really needs to beef up capacity in Sungei Kadut area - so much of the area is not covered properly. Propose two routes 925 and 925M. 925 is the original route, 925M covers the missing area without going to dam area. 925M will start from CCK interchange and loop @ Kranji MRT during operation hours (only AM / PM peak). Total 15 buses with 10 DDs.

sv 941

3 buses (1 DD, 2 SDs) - this service is often full with 70pax and can take a lot more. By adjusting runtime can just add 1 DD

sv 945

5 buses (5 SD, no HC bus) - this service can get 70-75 pax to Bukit Gambok for only 2 stops and otherwise has around 50-55 pax to BBT. So SDs are still doing the job until further development in the area

sv 947

4 buses (4 SD, no HC bus) - This service does get 80+ pax towards BBT interchange but given that there is 187 and 985 both in parallel with more high capacity buses in future, 947 can be full fleet SD.

sv 950

12 buses (2 SD, 10 bendy) - I really wish capacity of 950 is upgraded significantly. With DDs coming in, SMRT can give its bendies to 950. You will see often 950 has no space to board at Woodlands Checkpoint. Big loss for SMRT to give revenue to other operators. Should definitely increase capacity on 950 by making it almost full fleet high capacity. 2 rigids is okay.

950 should use DD, but I think people board until JB Custom nia :/

I said all WDL Intratown... pajiao ah u

And it doesn't even make sense to "probably" deploy DDs on high-turnover crowded svcs like 913...

If not enough then deploy more loh... anyways you are getting more bendies from trunks like 190 since they are gonna be replaced by DDs anyways.

SMB128B SG

Siao ah u.

Why u so funny one ah.

950 DD? Joking lah u. Now even rigid they allow boarding from both doors. So bendy would signicantly reduce boarding time, and thus more efficient service.

DD? Fuck lah u want all the ppl bottleneck at staircase is it? And then sit on top deck for like less than 5-15 mins? Good that u know ppl only board till JB CIQ, then u still suggest??

I tell u, u deploy DD sure will have trouble one. Otherwise u tell me why the SBST JB svc still using SDs.

Piang eh, common sense should tell you that we are talking about Wdl Intra-town here, there's no CCK/YISHUN being mentioned.

"Anyway, don't miss the point...Woodlands Feeder don't really need DDs. But intra-town, probably 912/913. 911 probably can, but also Split shifts."

You got high capacity buses dw to deploy, yet insist on deploying more drivers. Not as if the svc got poor frequency, can clap for you already

You also joke leh. You think people don't want to move up just for that 5-15mins ah? Please la..everyone wants to get home. I rather they deploy DD if there's a need for high capacity buses to save the length trouble.

I dont agree with your point. 903 is better with DDs. 913 is better with bendies, DDs will be disastrous.

911/912 can get DDs but bendies are also good.

903 is better with DDs, BUT there must be bendy in the fleet. Otherwise, you're making the fleet worse...

Don't agree how 913 with DD will be disastrous...

TIB783G SG

Boy you are really a good joker I've never seen a bendy having the LPKP sign before.

Now I know why ppl ask u eat ur own words.

YOU said "Who say all Intratown can't use DD? Not SMRT also... " in response to me saying all WOODLANDS intratowns cannot have DDs.

And NOW u ask ME to use common sense, huh you really damn guai eh.

And you prove to me Admiralty problem will even remain as it is when DDs come in, let alone improve, since I foresee heavy delays and bottlenecks when DDs do 913. And if u want to deploy on E svc, can, ask SMRT to let them cut in lor. Also waste buses what, since u still need the same amount of buses to reamin in east loop anyways.

Roll eye somemore.

SMB128B SG

What would length trouble cause? I can only think of congestion which ofc would happen with DDs too since you gonna have bottleneck at the staircase and two doors. And causes delays too!

My line was referring to yours, about Wdl Intratown unable to use DD. What's the point of stressing again, aren't you clever enough to know that we are talking about Wdl Intra? It should be straight forward to you...

If you refer to my post on page 19 :

Service 900 - Peak hours run DD, normal time Bendy. Current fleet no. is okok.

....
Svc913 - DD for peak/some AP, bendy.

Condition of 913 is that there are some bendy packed to the door after leaving Adm station still. Even the loading/unloading is poor for DD, at least you can pick more passengers up. You got understand clearly why there's heavy delay firstly? Delays can also caused when the bus is packed and yet the driver still stop at the bus stop. Since everyone is dropping at Adm Stn, might as well get DD(s) during peak hours...

And bro, deploying as "E" is literally the 913E/960 slot. Which is why I didn't even mentioned 911, because 911 "E" and 912/913 "E" have something additional difference. You need not to put on 913 split alone for peak leh, crossover also can use what.

TIB429E SG

At least with crowded places at Wdl CIQ/Causeway Bridge/JB CIQ, your bus won't take up more space.. Ignore the loading timing, every coach bus also cause longer delays..

SMB128B SG

If you refer to my post on page 19 :

Service 900 - Peak hours run DD, normal time Bendy. Current fleet no. is okok.

....
Svc913 - DD for peak/some AP, bendy.

Heavy delay also caused when a bus takes too long to unload...

And you sure everyone will move up anot? Even if they would it would not be before the BC had to scream his lungs out for ppl to move up and then bus will delay again (this is what happens on 222 most of the time). At least bendy more ppl are willing to move to the back. The joint wont cause any bottlenecks either.
