last SG · 2012-05-05T11:18:10+00:00

There is no need for any DD or Bendy bus for SMRT just normal SD bus will do. increase the frequent of the bus timing will help to make the different. with d...

need me to say 61 from 90% DD fleet to now full SD fleet under SMRT??

Seriously even bus 187 also cannot manage properly… The bus speed en-route… At times often see them grouping together for no reason…

If SMRTB is not interested in improving its bus services, or pharsing out bendy buses to improve their schedulings, then transfer all the Northwest bue services back to SBST.

Service 806 and 300 has a good frequcency...

You should try taking feeder and intratown services before you talk...

I have waited 812 for 30 mins before (morning peak). You call that good frequency?

If you want to compare feeder services, many SBST feeders have better frequencies compared to 2 SMRTB feeders.

exactly, 61 needs majority WAB fleet, the SDs can't cope during peak hours and the frequencies are at best erratic, i don't quite understand why the service lost its bendies one by one...

61 needs to split into 2 parts.

Bukit Batok to New Bridge Rd, 972 by SMRTB.

Another part to be managed by SBST, New Bridge Rd to Eunos, under 61.

61’s downfall occured when the Tibs era mismanagement of 61 began…

erratic freq… It was well known of 61’s 30 mins and 3 buses appearing…

I guess from them ridership nothing but fell.. But I guess there’s also other factors like NEL, ageing estate of Kallang Bahru etc..

needless to say 175 now in e pic taking the Lavender – Kallang Bahru biz..

You sound like you know 61 very well. Thought you're an expert at 14 years old on cyberbullying and discrimnation, along with calling people "dogs" on facebook.

Back to topic, you are seriously getting too off...

I wonder if the WAB bendies will operate 61. Got a small possibility but not 100% though.

why not? higher capacity buses on 61 are always welcome but looking at the nature of 61's route, double deckers would be more suitable but if it has to be a bendy bus, i welcome it wholeheartedly

So i did hit the nail on the head. Facebook connection works wonders.

It will. The Trans Island high capacity buses are not wheelchair accessible, but 61 was chosen to be given wheelchair accessibility, hence the replacement of some bendy buses to wheelchair accessible OC Citaro MAN. Until the replacement WAB high capacity buses for the TIBS bendies come in, this will probably be a temporary measure.

Consider this, by that time when the TIBS bendy buses get replaced, the travel pattern of Singaporeans would have changed again with the upcoming MRT lines and 61's demand may have also changed.

you did not hit any nails on the head. perhaps you have a few screws loose in your head??

or perhaps, yours if we look back at your sgforums posts for the past few months.

61 should just skip McPherson/Ubi.Turn to Lor 1 Sims Ave all the way to Eunos.Sure can improve frequencies.

SMB228X SG

Agree TTM!!! So 61 should get MAN bendy demo F1RST n Citaro Gs!!!!

or this, you think anyone who defends the few you and your group dislike either have mental issues, requires to see psychiatrist, or a "surrogate" because you view them as getting in your way of "fun" perverse fetish to people suffer? You should see the doctor soon as you and your friends seem to suffer from some issues. No possible explanation unless you all want to sit in front of the mediator and to explain everything you did was of no harm, despite all evidences.

Don't forget the BSEPs and the future parallel services it could solve some problems with existing trunk routes without the need to modify 61.

27 actually has a frequency of 03 mins in morning peak, and 04 mins evening peak. But just between Tampines and Hougang. The frequency can be around 08 mins at Changi Terminal.

Svc 27 freq. is up and down~ Sometimes, I can wait up till 10mins for just 1 bunch-up full-ed bus~~

Anyway, I believe SMRT got it's reason for not purchasing Double deck yet~ Probably due to money (: If any kind soul wants double deck to be purchase, please kindly spam joyride on all SMRT transports Or legi best, walk-in interview to LTA (:
