Is SBST utilising DDs in the correct way?

SBS3050L SG

I wonder why 119's DDs are still there. 43, 130 need more DDs.

SMB128B SG

Hahaha

wsy1234 SG

is the load from 49 need DD buses?

carbikebus SG

In my honest opinion just 2-3 DDs enough.Sometimes the loading is pathetic. .4 Citaros & 3 WEGs enough.

wsy1234 SG

maybe 4 might need one soon

carbikebus SG

4 for the time being need timing revision and probably need extra split shift buses..

sinicker SG

yes.... 4 needs s-shift.

some services, always look full with single deck...... you put double deck, you see it running around empty.

FireIce SG

hanor. stupid de loh .

off-peak hours chut DD
peak hours chut SD 挤死人

43 and 50

carbikebus SG

With low floor buses like Citaros and A22s even 50 passengers do look full..

LOL. Peace time!

I went for a one week holiday to Europe, so have not done my quota of 4 peak buses. Just done one till now in week 1 when loading was decent. Plan to do the rest this week and then will post.

You should monitor JIS which svc dont need full DDs

I had the same question. So I have actually monitored all JIS services during peak hours. Each bus takes 80-120 pax between 06.45 and 08.15am in morning peak. Other way round buses come totally empty. I am not sure if the buses should run uni-directional during this time slot - at least services 249, 251. For 182,192, 193, 252, 254, 255, 257 they have other loading points at Joo Koon, Tuas in opposite direction though that loading is far less worthy of DDs.

Evening peak, the loading gets distributed. I counted for 246, 249, 251, 252 the number of pax alighting at Boon Lay Interchange (easier to do than for 182, 254). The number of pax varied between 50 - 70 pax for 246, 251. For 249 and 252 was more for certain buses but far lesser than AM peak as the peak hour in PM is more spread out.

I also feel the frequency of certain JIS services like 249, 252 needs improvement and one BSEP bus should be added each.

Actually SDs should be use during Sundays and Public Holidays.My Uncle drive JIS say the most is 1/2 loading during Sun/PHs...He ever drive DM3500 and KUBs on JIS and the most is few standees.

Agree Sun, PH should be all SDs also no problem. What did your uncle say about weekday loading? Matches my observation?

It's funny how BSEP on 246 seems to mean just adding one Wright (SBS3325U) and that's it. They should make some of thse buses SD and have more buses than just six. Not sure for the other JIS services, but since 246 also serves some neighbourhoods like mine...

Weekdays peak hour loadings can cover the off peak loadings revenue liao.0615-0825 super packed,then after 9-13.30 a bit cool down,After 1500 packed again due to factory shift timings and the realloadings after 17.45-2100..Even at night from 21.45-22.15 loadings can be berserk.Saturdays mostly morning and early afternoon and after 15.30 BCs can shaking already.Sundays and PHs each JIS can use 2-4 DDs the most
