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

wsy1234 SG

what smrt should do is to request npark to trim trees on some road where heavy demand for bus serivce but cannot use DD bus due to tree problem. but those semi-express bus route can have DD buses operate in the service.

TIB429E SG

Likely 190/960 may kenna...but quite looking forward to it

TPS Timothy Mok SG

Trim trees at every road to allow SBS/SMRT bus service to use DDs, except where technical constraints such as Lorong Chuan.

I agree. 2 roads should be done on high priority.

Henderson road so that 145, 176 can get DDs (both really need them)

Road between Newton and Little India (so that 48, 960 get DDs; ofcourse 66 can get a few too)

I rather the company solve the bloody crowds on route 190 first, than deploying one here and one there

It will get fixed with DDs, but you can't have all those allocated to 190 - so will also help to relieve load on other services.

Hope after the open of Project JEWEL at Changi, a bus interchange will be allocated there for all airport services. Instead of going from Terminal 1/2/3, convert it into a single pick up point la? Provide "1-level-up sky train svc also..." OR hire some coach to run between terminals and JEWEL...

This allows... :
More Jobs opportunities(mainly coach buses)
Bendy/Double Deckers Public buses(airport style)
Rest point for long routes driver

I agree with you. but there are no reports or known plans for the new bus interchange at the airport leh. All 6 bus services are the airport are of high demand and requires high capacity buses and its long overdue that airport should be relocated to accomodate DDs!

No point for buses to pass through terminals 1 by 1, there are gonna be terminal 4 and 5 in future and passing by each and everyone of them just doesnt make sense.

I know people who made bus transfers at the airport daily and passing the PTB terminals 1 by 1 is really a wastage of time to this group of people =X.

Was what I've been fucking repeating over and over again...

Time for the svcs to get DDs and proper terminating place la...

Coz trust me, without the above you get crowded buses running off-schedule...

It is a no-brainer. When and how is to be determined... Hopefully with new terminals, LTA won't be stupid to make these buses go to other terminals as well, but then have a centralized interchange.

Worse still, the buses will still go to basements of 1,2,3 and those from ter 4/5 will have to travel to one of these basements to connect to buses.

BusAnalayzer SG

Already sv 27/34 get 45-50 pax in PM peak from CGA... with new terminals, may already need DDs for CGA people.

BusAnalayzer SG

48 dun nd DDs lah...

I don't agree with your statement at all, bro.

PM peak huge crowds from Tanah Merah MRT and again from Marine Parade / Little India.

AM peak heavy loading from Marine Parade as well.

For both sides, there is significant loading. Observed this multiple times.

DIE OT a bit...

Short Working Trip lah...

I wrote in LTA 1 month ago, reply kena bomb say freq is adequate for present loading...

That day i took citaro, M parade rd full to door coz BC lambat bus... reach Bugis DTL crowded as 57 cannot pick up passengers who r heading NEL Little India...

From BNV to Little India yes, but if u realise on SBST websites, 16,36,48 timetables have been revised to Mar 24 ones...

10 change due to citaro addition...

12 for 3391C

If you observe closely, the KUBs on 48 aren't even filled during peak. The back has neary zero standees.

Don't think that's a fair statement, there is significant loading from Marine Parade to Little India MRT during AM Peak and the opposite during PM Peak, The demand is also mid to high for those xfering to and from Tanah Merah MRT daily during Peak Hours.

Don't think 48 will be considered for DDs not only because of the high trees but also the climb to Benjamin Sheares Bridge?

Cheers

Yea, it's more steep compared to the Keppel Road entrance although i aint sure if that's a deal breaker for 48.

sv48 freq has improved a lot weekday morning peak from 0730 onwards twds BNV, buses if no traffic arrives ev 6 mins...

Ah, DDs can climb the slope, if HK DDs can climb the steep flyover connecting to Ap Lei Chau, it shldnt be a problem
