The loading on 291 at Tampines Int was crazy yesterday. The queue for both loops was long and winding. The west loop was still better with buses coming every 05-07 mins and mostly DDs. The east loop was horrible long queue and buses were just notshowing up. One bus was coming every 15 mins.

I could see people rushing from 291 queue to s28 queue though it is a long way. Must be traffic congestion along east loop. Each bus took +110 pax. I am sure there would be 4-5 buses that would have bunched together later.

Svc 88 its either become full DD or better scheduling. Once, at around 7AM, SBS 5135M (BRBP 88) for svc 88 arrived at Buangkok Green. The bus had around 60pax and with the crowd of people cramming into the bus, the bus became full to the door. Unknown to them, 88A was on the way. Many bus arrival apps cannot check the SWT services arrival time. When the fully packed bus left, SBS 3196A on svc 88A arrived. With only 4pax. Bus didn't even stop. For svc 854, cannot do anything. Bendies are deployed in the morning but all are full to the door. Even the Citaros on 854E are full. Svc 62 is a problem with passengers. All the students refuse to move upstairs because it is only a 2 stop journey. Many people get stranded at bus stops because the bus is filled to the door on the lower saloon but on the upper saloon, you can see many empty seats.

Loading pattern for s116.

Entry stop: Hougang Int, Exit stop: NEX

Time: 08.21am - 8.54am on 17-Jan-2013

Hougang Int (06), Hougang Ave 4 (20), Hougang Ave 9 (14), Serangoon Nth Ave 4 (34), AMK Ave 3 (36), Toho Green (38 pax PEAK loading), YCK Link (32), NEX (9 pax entered the bus).

This is the loading observed during am peak, 2 months after launch of this service. It is more of cannibalization of s315 and s72 and relieving their loads, but on its own, the bus has failed to get high loading. Many other observations during am/pm peak also hardly show any standees on this service.

Does anyone else have other observation?

Loading level for 804 and 806 at Yishun Int, around 7.10pm..

TIB1198P on 804 - 113 pax
TIB1199L on 806 - 108 pax
TIB1201M on 806 - 83 pax (bunch up)

Noticed that many pax like to chase the bus (sv806) although they know the next bus is just 1-5mins..

Standard that's why you see so packed

BusAnalayzer SG

Yes - I have same observation. People don't want to wait for next bus even if it is 2-4 mins later but cram into the first whichever bus comes. So much hurry!!

Observation at Lakeside MRT. s98 came, everyone tried to cram into it and finally BC had to tell a few pax to back off. I could see 98 at the signal on st51 waiting to turn. Yet people were cramming. Then 98 came, took another 30-40 pax. After 02 mins 98A came, taking just 04-05 pax.

The weekday peak loading on the route between Thomson road and Hougang Ave 8 can be +70 pax. The loading has dropped between Thomson and Clementi ever since CCL opened - before that you could see 165 packed in both directions.

Instead of doing these things, why not get a job at LTA/SBS/SMRT and you'll be able to do all of these things from office?

In case you wonder, I'm far from kidding here.

Getting to where you want requires you to position yourself correctly from very early on.

Good luck.
