as the title says.
NOTICE
I am not trolling or whining,
Service 113 has been packed for the past few years,
if you guys know matthew bustrain busboy Or SBS5013G,
ask him about the situation on svc 113.
He’s also a regular commuter of svc 113, same as me.
Being the rep of residents in the 2 neighbourhoods of kovan,paya
lebar and hougang,
i would like to ask for assistance in the feedback of more
buses/dds on 113, same like 163. 163 has gotten dds due to
feedbacks through the senior management line,
if anyone of you, could help, can you guys help to snap photos when
113 is packed, or help to feedback to SBS
Transit, that service 113 has not been improved from 2004.
if you think i’m talking crap or wasting bandwith, try taking
113 during the peak hours yourself, and reply back here.
MORNING PEAK HOUR – bus still can tahan
EVENING PEAK HOUR – FULL/Packed (bunching of 113/113A)
Yours sincerely,
SBS5010P
13 JANUARY 2011's reply : 13 Jan 2011 Dear Mr , Request for double
decker bus to be deployed for service 113 We refer to your
correspondence to us on the above, which we received via the
Aljunied Town Council on 3 January, 2011. As conveyed by my
colleague Lorelie in her reply to you, Service 113 is scheduled at
an average headway of 12 minutes during the morning peak period,
with 7 single decks in its fleet. Based on our checks conducted
recently, the average capacity utilisation of this service is 31%
between 0730hrs and 0800hrs, and 68% between 1745hrs and 1815 hrs.
Hence, we regret we are unable to support your request. As a
responsible public transport operator, we seek to keep our fares
affordable, and hence, we seek your gracious understanding that we
have to ensure that capacity is in tandem with demand. That said,
we wish to assure you we are monitoring this service closely, and
that we will seek the co-operation of our on-board passengers to
move to the rear of he bus to make more space for our other
customers like yourself to board. We thank you for writing in to us
to highlight this issue. Yours sincerely
