Repost: To bring discussion back to these services from
WDL feeders
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: why bendies? if got bendies to spare, why not on 858? i
heard that Kota Raya 2 terminal has very tight spaces.
of the three service going into JB
170 is the only service leading into Larkin Terminal and had the
biggest fleet.
950 is the only WAB*.
*note : as of now both the Woodlands Checkpoint and Iskandar
Malaysia Checkpoints are not accessible to PIWs
* also both 170 and 160 do not have any WAB buses right now.
950 could have a smaller fleet due to the conditions at
Woodlands.
it is meaningless to have 950 doing up to the Checkpoint when
178, 856, 903, 911, 912 and 913 already does that.
