http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/download/swt_88a_88b.pdf How do you all think of the new 88A and 88B? Just nice introducing on 8th October. So many 8, 8.8 88...

Good to hear that. Are there any DDs deployed on 43A? By the way, 76 does not go to NEX. I think it should go to NEX though as there is no route connecting AMK Ave 3 to Serangoon Station, and I feel many would prefer taking 76 to NEL via Serangoon.

853 can be taken from AMK Station but via Ave 8, Ave 1 and Lor Chuan.

43A seems to be done by SBS3003Z or SBS3105M.

Since SBST lazy to make 43A desto, they decided to use the wrights instead.

Not yet seen any single SD doing 43A yet, though.

they got make desto for 43A, DD and SD.

TIB1257C SG

they got make desto for 43A, DD and SD.

43A's SD desto may be left unused forever.
Most like once SBS2630U left 43 when it's ad expired, most likely a citaro or KUB replacement.

How many buses are deployed on 43A? any idea? Can someone list the buses deployed?

What happens to these buses after they do the short working trip? Do they go home to the depot or crossover?

BusAnalayzer SG

The long queues outside 72 berth seems to clear faster nowadys with 72A in morning peaks

The queues at YCK for 72 are quite long. I have seen a whole DD getting filled to the brim at YCK itself. Hence, it is no surprise that 72A is all DD route.

Is there addition to the fleet of buses for 72 or is SBST using the same buses on 72A?

SBS2601D SG

Both terminals see large crowds at night with frequency at 15+ minutes. Barely enough to clear the crowd and at times, fails to clear the crowd with 1 bus.

After so many years, the situation never changed.

TIB 501 D SG

Anyone suggest how to improve the speed for 72 or to improve connectivity between Hougang and Tampines.

1 bus - 3105. 43 got fleet addition due to the shortworking trip.

that bus does 4 trips of 43A before off service back to depot.

1 bus was added to sv 72 due to the shortworking trip.

refer to my earlier reply - and just change 43 to 72, and 4 trips to 5. everything will remain applicable.

the bus used on 72A so far is 7429.

BusAnalayzer SG

The # of buses on 43 hasn't changed with the introduction of 43A. This means it is using the same buses for 43A. Must be only 1 bus I guess.

SBS2656X SG

Confirmed to be SBS3105M.

SBS2601D SG

I can never get why 72's frequency at night is atrocious with a number of SDs running when the crowd at YCK, Tamp, HG Int is so amazing even at midnight.

Reason= Snail speed service 72.
