Anything about Bus Timetables (Part 2)

Rego conversions for service 163's fleet due to the Scania K230UB fleet additions:-

SBS600U SBS8132B
SBS662R SBS8142Y
SBS682H SBS8079Y
SBS2630U SBS8081P
SBS2703T SBS8130G

But I think there's some discrepancies in the timing. SBS2796A (23E's shift) will have 1 more trip in the evening departing Sengkang at 1716 hrs, after SBS2663A (20S shift). The list will then go 1 line downwards with SBS969G being the last bus to depart Toa Payoh interchange from Sengkang at 2330 hrs.

This is their direct replacements:
SBS 8079 Y (HG SP) - (HG 163)
SBS 2703 T (HG 163) - (HG SP)

SBS 8081 P (HG SP) - (HG 163)
SBS 2630 U (HG 163) - (HG SP)

SBS 8130 G (HG SP) - (HG 163)
SBS 0662 R (HG 163) - (HG SP)

SBS 8132 B (HG SP) - (HG 163)
SBS 0600 U (HG 163) - (HG SP)

SBS 8142 Y (HG SP) - (HG 163)
SBS 0682 H (HG 163) - (HG SP)

1716hrs is done by 21S - 1 PM trip only.
1724hrs is 23E after meal break.
following that the duties are as follows:
1739 11P
1755 12P
1811 13P
1826 14P
1846 15P
1906 16P
1927 9P
1948 10P
2009 11P

and the cycle rotate till the last bus is 15P
then 163M timings:
2346 16P
0001 9P
0015 10P
0030 either 11P or 16P. I chose 16P due to the fact that its the last P shift to start at 1625hrs. Having it doing the last 163M would help to lessen 11P's OT.

A better frequency for both of these service? these 2 services seems to have quite a bad frequency.

Add on to service 163's timetable, the 1A/9P time slot was done by SBS8081P for 3 consecutive days already. I assume that SBS8132B is on the 18S time slot. Is there any official swop between SBS8081P and SBS8132B?

Also for these 2 days the 23E bus seems to have MIA from service 163 too.

^tamago^ SG

you're right. the rosters are not showing the changes.

1688K is now 18S replacing 8081P. 8081P is right behind it in the evening peak.

apparently the 17S driver have already quit and 1688K is passed to the 18S driver instead.

if a direct 3-way swap occurs, 8132B may have been on 17S now.

Anyone has timetable for Service 24? I am planning to get proper pictures of all 5 perm Merz before they are gone (I don't know when they will officially be out of 24). I just found out that it would take around 3.6 hours to scan the entire fleet. 22 Buses x average 10 mins freq = 220 mins.

I didnt know one round trip of SV 24 took more than 3 hrs? Be smart... find some place to stand whereby you can see buses from both direction. No one ask u to wait at the interchange.

service_238 SG

If you want to spot full fleet u need to spot during Weekday peak hours. S24 uses 1 bus less on Saturday and 5 buses less on Sundays.

Oh thanks for the info. Do you know if the 1 bus less on Saturdays and 5 buses less on Sundays are usually Merz or KUB?

it would be nice that you dig it out yourself.

Maybe I will try observing during weekdays peak hours anytime after or on 9 Oct when I finish my End Of Year Exam since I don't know if there will be any Merz on weekends (I don't wish to make a wasted trip down). But I am afraid that the number of Merz on Service 24 might be reduced further or even none before 9 Oct.

Depends on the mood of the starter. There may be a fixed bus that is out on weekends but it may be deployed because the perm bus on weekends is due for mx.
