Another fleet add for Sv 60? Wasn't 7500D a fleet add into Sv 60 just a few months back? still can fleet add mah... this one small case compare to Sv43 lah....

All the Best! SG

I wonder when SMRT going to replace all the old and dirty bendy buses? This morning me take 190 the bus air-con's air is very smelly and look like the bus has no power at all to move on the road.

Just let it run until the end of the lifespan, it will be wasted if the bus was build for such a long time and ran on the roads for a short time

How to buy new ones when their infrastructure is small in todays standard?Cannot all new buses place at Wlbp or Wldep right?Wenya i think the fastest will be ready in mid 2014.Kranji already jammed although it can hold more than 200buses..Another reason why svc like 176,700 partial with Wldep.Unless LTA build a new bus park near Ang Mo Kio depot then we just shall wait for mid next year.Amdep another clown an HQ with only can hold up to 168 buses and waste fuel by doin ONP at Geylang,SBW

I'm kinda wondering why the Habits' aircon are that weak..even the VolgrenGs are stronger than those best few...

carbikebus SG

The aircon outlets itself la bro,Volgren ones all eyeball ducts right?

The LTA BSEP Thread deleted that had around 80 posts already. SMB128B, I had told you, you were violating the rule, but you did not listen.

Thanks for taking time and sharing a detailed analysis. As you see, I have posted my comments above.

SBS3050L SG

Not all roads have a bus stop nearby. Hougang Street 52 should have a bus stop.

SBS3050L SG

Ofcourse every route does not need DDs but if a route has 65-70+ pax, putting a DD is worth it, if you want to provide a good travel to people. Otherwise you really have to cram in.

Some statistics:

Apr 2012: 1054 DD, 1637 SD (39.08% of fleet DD)

Sep 2013: 1215 DD, 1701 SD (41.67% of fleet DD).

This is only counting perm deployed DDs/SDs - does not include SP buses, special buses such as CT18.

If you observe, there is a remarkable increase in fleet of both DD and SD, but DDs have far exceeded the # of SDs deployed on services. SBST should aim for a 50-50 distribution in the next 2 years.

Services like 27 and 36? Buses packed to door, if put DD then will crash at changi airport

And that is exactly why you don't have DDs on both these services.. Duh!!

Build temporary CGA terminal that can support DD

CGA services might shift to CGA terminal if really wanted to build..

Edit: just read Fireice's post.

Build temporary CGA terminal that can support DD

Is it very easy to build a CGA terminal just to support DDs? There are other ways which are cheaper and more efficient

27M: Sengkang Interchange <> Tampines Interchange

36M: Siglap Road Terminal <> Tomlinson Road

So 36M gonna use another fleet? And 36 retained?

How is that economically viable? Also, a very important thing to note is unlike other CGA services, sv 36 has the lowest patronage from CGA terminal. The majority of people board at Marine Parade to city.

SMB128B SG

Ok, explain 27 then.

There is Sv 118 afaik plying SengKang INT to TMI

BusAnalayzer SG

The downroutes from 27 can become 27M with DDs on it and operate full day. Simple. Also 27 frequency too good for CGA. With DDs on it, some of the fleet can be rationalized.
