oh, peak hrs service?

Likely

But it seems like w/ remaining 32 svs, likely there's going to be rationalisation program

Service 16 cannot use DDs as it used to ply along Stadium Link which goes under the Merdeka Bridge. the height restriction at that point is 3.3m

It still cannot use DDs as of now also because of Joo Chiat area, which results in 15, 33 and 155 unable to use DDs either.

It's you, Edd1! No wonder I noticed something was strange recently.

Gus.chong SG

Some of the routes look just like existing premium routes, like 536, 554, 559. But the service from sengkang will ply KPE!

If they are full day routes, 502 should just downgrade to a normal trunk route.

Even all those former Express services (501, 511 & 512) should not be withdrawn at all.

Gus.chong SG

enough.... they planned 40 but in the end maybe only 15 will implement.. and for those mrt duplication routes, 4 buses enough mah... just like Sv128.. haha..

128 is a different case. It is a peak hour one-directional service, unlike normal trunk services.

Yeah :P:P

Gus.chong SG

can turn into TPY Lor 6 or not? ... or can further extend to NUS.. PIE... Adam Road.... Farrer Road... Queensway... AYE and NUS..

Anywhere where the place has large demands will do, as long as the route is neither short nor long.

They should replace it with a DM3500 or K230UB. No Citaro.

Deploy Citaros and Citaro Gs the best!!!

Who knows? Maybe when they introduce these mrt duplicating routes, they may well be peak directional services like 128. Don't forget they say in the press release that they will monitor these services and make adjustments when required.

Running rail parallel bus services is not a profitable business. 128 is a good example. Dunno why singaporeans really prefer to squeeze in sardine packed mrt trains than to sit in comfortable bus. Sacrificing time for comfort is really a no no to them....

You don't know?

Then I don't think you realise what a waste of time taking buses can be.

Especially now with the introduction of CCL.

sbst275 SG

But seriously even w/ the CCL, sometimes it's a rip off... Like the 93 vs CCL issue.

It all depends on where your pt A & pt B is..

But having said that, buses need to start doing limited stop service

sbst275 SG

Which I'll say a false sense of security.. Which is why now ppl dun bother leaving early for work.

Anyway, CCL has its own share of problems as I've realised.

they can introduce new service which can use the bartley east road? KPE? or even upper serangoon viaduct... foresee more services will start from depots as well..

SBS2601D SG

I am willing to pay a premium for CCL if it means not needing to put up with the nonsense 151.

It cuts the travel time by 45 min.

Of course that translates to significantly more sleeptime and far less stress about whether you'll be at the destination on time.

The problem with many services is not about then stopping too often. Crawling buses waste a hell lot of time and drives the blood pressure of pax up. Even worse is erratic service. 151 starting from HG is guilty of that. It gives less problems in the opp direction.

sbst275 SG

sometimes the crawling... I dunno

As long as it's within 50km/hr of travelling tat's ok

But 151's taiji I suspect isn't to do w/ scheduling... It's something I'd noticed on my recent checks
