SBST163 SG

Have anyone noticed 120's loading?

I have never seen it having more than 10 pax on board at all, and quite a few times during peak hours, i see 0 pax.

Very redundant a BSEP service yea? Loading is the worst of all, worse than 116. =.=

Things sometimes is not what they ought to be,Just live with it.All I can think if really redundant then it will say goodbye sooner or later

Yes, I have taken svc 120 5-6 times at morning peak and evening peak and have noticed that the loading is around 10-15 pax to Tehlok Blangah, and around 20 pax at Alexandra / Redhill area. The loading on Bukit Timah Road is always <10 pax. Yes, the loading is worse than 116 but 116 was launched around 9 months back, yet the peak loading on this service is not more than 40 pax, average would be around 20 pax.

Let's give 120 more time because it is a service like 141 that is a completely new service connecting different parts of the city. So it needs conversion of people from private cars / other buses to this service.

this service 120 is actually planned for the residents of telok blangah... to act as a feeder service for them to go to/from telok blangah mrt to their house at telok blangah. a lot of them are feedback to MP/SBST/LTA that there is no direct buses from their blocks going to Telok Blangah Mrt. so they will have to either to walk up/down the slope... which is very troublesome esp for those old ppl... so in order to solve this issue, they created this route to cater to these ppl...

but they need to find a start point for this service (cos need to go from telok blangah mrt to telok blangah heights and vice versa)... so they cant start from bukit merah interchange... so no choice, they have to think of other routes instead..

But at the same time, they extended 124 to Harbourfront Interchange from where you get both the lines + Vivocity. So 120's loading got cannabalized from day 1.

Do you really see a lot of people taking 120 from Tehlok Blangah MRT? No. Observe it even during peak hours. I think the reason for it is people prefer to take it from Harbourfront, as they can estimate the bus timing better + do their other chores at HF before going home. Just my guess!!

And I am saying all this because loading of 124 from HF to TBL is better than 120 from TBL MRT to TBL blocks.

There are many redundant services right now that need to be merged with other services or need route modification. LTA is not in the mood to merge them or say goodbye (except for SWT).

124 route change not BSEP meh?

82 & 107 are among those that need to be merged.

no choice... the MP/LTA need to show that they have done the work, which i think this is a promise that they have make during the election......

To extend the route 119. The promise was not to deploy Wrights. But I see your point.

sbst275 SG

124 route change not BSEP meh?

not even BSEP poster

lemon1974 SG

sv168 should be getting another fleet add next week, should be under BSEP and think this time they will put a Wright.....

wsy1234 SG

I think 141 service will have more people taking it as some place it go to will be more or less in demand it should reduce 145 load. it passes by four different mrt route. circle line NE line WE line and NS line.

BusAnalayzer SG

How will this service reduce load on 145??

BusAnalayzer SG

They go completely different ways.

wsy1234 SG

if you look at the route 141 in it is more or less like 145 or 139 but it serve some area where both of them not served and some people can take 141 to reach the place at the "door step" compare to 145 or 139 has to walk a bit distance.

sbst275 SG

obviously… wsy1234 exposed him/ herself further of making a comment of 14X & 15X bus numbers…

No they’re not what nonsense NE, Eastern, Western based bus svs..

14X & 15X are Toa Payoh based bus Svs for goodness sake! from 1970s roots…

bus kid know how to talk politics as though a matured adult.. but your bus sv knowledge exposes you as a kid…

SMB66X SG
