One suggestion. Please indicate the time of boarding. From what I see it is clearly off peak hours, because no one boarded bus at Pandan loop. s285 can have very high loading during peak hours. Hence, 3 DDs have been deployed on this service in past few months.

Average loading ought to be higher for 284 because the division factor is very small compared to s282 and s285. Highest number of pax is the right indicator.

Sorry. Didn't notice that. Sunday afternoon not a very good indicator for understanding the loading pattern on these services. I would recommend to try weekday morning peak or evening peak.

BusAnalayzer SG

If you could also put the type of bus apart from the reg # for future loadings :)

I will try, only if I do not have school. So I am a student.

And two things that I observed during my loading observation. At Clementi Interchange today, a long queue of people waiting for service 7, streched for about two to three berths today at around 12.45 PM before I boarded 282. Once I came back to the interchange, no more long queue. No idea what happened to the bus driver.

And also when arriving at the bus stop (Opp Blk 701) on 285, a bus stop notice board had its glass pane smashed. But didn't manage to snap a picture as I was busy on bus loading observation.

Why did you want to wait for the next bus instead? Too crowded or your favourite bus?

yenwei, try indicating maximum load of the bus as well. it indicates if the bus is overcrowded.

I have been curious and suspicious about the requirement of ADDs on s153. Hence, wanted to take it during peak hour to understand its loading. Ofcourse one trip is not an indicator, but the route it passes through and the # of alternatives available, s153 seldom gets more than 70pax.

Also I prefer taking ADDs because it is easier to count pax even in a crowded bus. I sit on the 5th row above a VO3x door so that I can get a view of people entering the bus - count them first, and then subtract the people leaving the bus.

Try boarding at Serangoon Station towards Bt Merah at 7.40am. Another case would be along Braddell Rd opposite ComforDelgro during between 5pm to 6pm, and weekend afternoons. It is the only bus service from Toa Payoh to Kovan, so sometimes pax are unable to board, and some people take 105 to Serangoon to connect to other transport options.

Ok. Will try this out. Cheers!

Loading level for s69 #SBS9849K B10TL

Boarding point: Bedok Int at 17.45, Exit point: Tampines Int at 18.25 hours

Bedok Int (42), Bedok Nth Ave (48), Bedok Reservoir Road (51), Tampines Ave 1 (123 pax PEAK with around 10-15 pax left behind), Tampines Ave 8 (118 pax with 7-8 pax left over, did not take any pax), Tampines Ave 5 (104), Tampines Int (105).

Super high loading in both directions mainly because of Temasek Poly students. At Tampines Int, high loading for pax traveling to Ave 5, Ave 8.

Right now has 5 DDs, 6 SDs - recommend that it should have 7 DDs, 4 SDs. At least 2 DDs should be added.

s17 atleast has 17A in its high loading sector. 69 should have more DDs as you said during Temasek operational days. Also, I think 69 will still get good response as it will help relieve load on s291 along Ave 5, and people would prefer to take it over 293 on Ave 3.
