lemon1974 SG

SMB3066B

(WLDEP SP)

On 966 today. Not sure if it replacing 3043S during PM peak jz nw as 3066B reached earlier than the usual 3043S slot

SMB3061P on 963, with SMB3022C ans SMB3023A... Maybe BSEP add?

Maybe it is just replacing a non-BSEP slot. Have to reserve some buses for 904 though

Few 904 buses should be out now doing runs for the engine, like SMB3066B...

Yeah may catch more of them tomorrow onwards

LTA should nationalise the entire bus fleet and rebrand them as TransitLink. Route Groups to be bundled under contract areas and offered for tender like what Transperth has done. SBS, SMB & WT to be mere contractors like Swan Transit, Path Transit & Veolia Transdev.

Bendies retained but kept mostly for express routes. DDs to take over most city trunk routes.

If TransitLink can score a 50-year exclusive deal with Scania even better.

If they had one operator for every area, it would be like the problem before the SBS-era. Then gahman will 'renationalise/nationalise more' the bus company then skally SBST agan. Then later they say to compete open a new PTC. This is just repeating history in my opinion.

iveco SG

1 operator for every area, but contract period for 10 years max before going up for competitive tender.

And I repeat, buses to carry only LTA/Transitlink livery, not those of individual companies/contractors, with the transport ministry having ultimate ownership of the bus fleet.

Acx1688 SG

For high demand routes,74,179,190,196 use two operators like what HK did for X harbour routes...

Acx1688 SG

Saw freq for 852, 855 is 13-15 mins during peak tot all trunk to be 10mins?! how come still pass QoS?!??

Sometimes, it is really a waste of resources, 966 comes 4-6 mins during peak and most of the return from M Parade is empty...

ACx

BusAnalayzer SG

Isn't QoS 10 mins for feeder, 15 mins for trunk??

BusAnalayzer SG

Agree on your point on 966

Acx1688 SG

Isn't QoS 10 mins for feeder, 15 mins for trunk??

I m nt sure about QoS for trunks, feeders...
I only know there is an inefficient allocation of resources nowadays... 70's fleet has been bumped up till 4 -6 mins peak twds Shenton Way.
The 2nd bus is half full, 3rd 1/4 full...
854 is also bumped up to 4 - 5mins freq during peak, comfortable definitely but i would rather every service fleet be equally bumped up so that EVERY COMMUTER can enjoy rather than a few selected services...

sbst275 SG

all wrong!

BSEP QoS for peak hrs

Trunk

80th%: 1 hr peak within peak max headways at 10 mins for peak direction.
90th%: 1 hr peak within peak max headways at 12 mins for peak direction.
100th%: Max 20 mins headways.

All Svs to comply with 20 mins max headways for non peak direction by 2014.

Feeder
95th%: 10 mins max headways for entire peak hr belt.
100th%: 15 mins max headways for entire peak hr belt.

iveco SG

Or do it like Transperth's circle route. Also, add in route 61 to the mix. I'd love to see the DDs make a omeback on this one.

74 can be BBDEP(SBS)/AMDEP(SMB)

179 can be SLBP(SBS)/WYDEP(SMB) - future

190 can be KJDEP(SMB)/ARBP(SBS)

196 can be KJDEP (SMB)/BNDEP(SBS)

61 can be KJDEP(SMB)/BNDEP(SBS)

Singapore too small for dual-operation...

Unless you ask companies like let's say NTU buses for svc 179 to take over minority of buses during peak...

SMB388S SG

SMRT never underoperate 190A~ so SMRT should take over 179 so 179A will never underoperate~ Wenya depot very near~

Confirm 852,855 fail ...

No country/city too small for dual operation.
The main issue is territorial "rights" parcelling for the PTCs resulting in commuters in the non SBST control area unable to get a more comfortable ride to work.
I have encountered this esp at Bukit Panjang from SBS/T control to SMRT...
61 converted from a DD(9213 - 9224) operated to partial bendy to the present FULL RIGID(increased frequency) fleet

SMB145B SG

if 61 were to be controlled by both

Wrights and A22s would spam

it would be good to see Cross-Island Bus service with 2 or more operator, with all sorts of buses in that service route.
