Sv 151A removal.. 151e bus now do longer AM S duty... PM only 1 1/2 trip & 151e? lol

service_238 SG

Sv72 has a 2 more trips added to its new timetable and both are wab slots. Wonder could it be a fleet add or crossover.

the 72A bus does full trips of 72 during PM peak, explaining the extra trips.

the 151e duty that does 151A, now does a return trip from Kent Ridge to Hougang on its last AM s shift portion, then like with the other 2 buses, do a half trip from Hougang during pm peak before 151e.

all just sbs and their crappy short trips...

I don't find thes short working trips crappy.

At least SBST did do their homework to do something to improve their bus services.

BusAnalayzer SG

72 needed extra trips. The load is high from YCK to Hougang Ave 3 as well from Tampines Int to Tampines Road. The only area where the bus doesnt have much loading is Tampines road itself, as people do not prefer to take it due to the # of stops and slow driving on Tampines road.

SBS needs to remove a few stops on this road as there are no people boarding or alighting and speed up the run time.

The forest at Tampines Road has been cleared for industrail. 72's loading will go higher in the future.

BusAnalayzer SG

That is another 4-5 years from now. And by then with DTL coming, I assume SBST will also transfer some routes via Tampines road, as so many bus routes won't be required on Bedok Reservoir Road.

But for now, I am talking about speeding the journey for commuters between Hougang and Tampines. Much needed.

They should widen Tampines Road and clear the trees and replace it with smaller trees. Like that will solve the problem of 72's slow speed.

SBS2601D SG

Right. And Lornie Rd will be narrowed and somehow 74 will speed up.

It will be slowed as the road is narrower ==

No... This route doesn't make sense... Duplicating 72 all the way....

TIB 501 D SG

It's just an alternative for people who don't want to take snail service 72

BusAnalayzer SG

Good to do a 72E that just connects YCK Interchange to Tampines Int deploying only DDs.

New route once Tampines Road area develops: Serangoon --> Kovan --> Hougang Ave 3 --> Tampines Road --> Tampines Ave 10 --> Tampines Ave 9 --> Tampines Ave 7 --> Loyang Ave --> Pasir Ris Drive 3 --> Pasir Ris Int.

Guys I know you all hate service 72, but it has being like this for more than 11 years & no one give a shit? seriously first world problem, people whining about slow 72 & not as of service 72 is the only service which uses 1 lane roads.

TIB 501 D SG

since it's because of one lane roads, maybe play KPE and TPE would do it.

i mean svc 39 and 72 are just crawling like snail really...

Cannot blame, it is totally run by schedule created by the people in AMDEP. If it really very slow, people would be complaining about this long ago, or best, STOMP it

And Service 72 it cannot pile KKE & TPE, if it does, it will lose connection with those forginer workers living in a Dorm nearby, SAF people & some workers working at a building near the same bus stop as where the SAF alighted, plus some others.

Trust me I have taken Service 72 for almost whole of my life & I know it's surrounding well.

bus555 SG

Did you know: Service 72A was once introduced in the late 90s while pile the "current" Service 72A type of route. It was withdrawn in 2006. Likely due to the case simillar to SWT 2A & etc.

I guess we'll have to tahan it then, no choice...

What is the case with Svc 2A?

I think 72 can do better by reducing some of the LP stops where no one boards / alights. Speed can be increased a bit ATLEAST.
