last SG · 2011-06-17T09:42:27+00:00

SBST really short of SD meh....looking at the way the DDs are haphazardly deployed.Cannot be what.....74 needs these DDs more as I had said earlier.Did the B...

sbst275 SG

4 am to 9 am shift

9pm to 1am or 2 am shift

between 9am to 9 pm shift.

3 shift of drivers..

so more manpower, so even say we can get manpower, who going to 'buy receipt'

given the fair increase that should use for employ more driver and use SD buses more often during off peck hour to save desel.

SBS2601D SG

where got DD shortages? There are so many SP DDs right now.... no place to deploy them....

You look at the deployments, it becomes obvious that there's surplus DDs at the current moment.

Of course, its the transition phase where the Wrights are coming in and the LOs are retiring. Maybe this situation is temporary...

Or perhaps the DDs on 163 are on trial.

I still think the DDs can be put to better use on other services, but perhaps SBST has constraints that I am unaware of.

it's all makan by diesel cost

Furthermore I believe not many ppl who know fuel consuming diesel buses are...

SBS2601D SG

The Merc 0305/0405 was the champion in diesel consumption if I'm not mistaken.

sbst275 SG

no la

I mean ppl think bus fuel consumption as like cars, 1lit for 12km??

Somemore we are gulity of causing diesel prices to spike till it's abt e same price of formula 95 pre petrol tax.

Why? Cardboard lacks electricity to produce our simi iPad, so they're resolving to use diesel generators lor.

Now the new bullet train kena stop ops twice thanks to no electricity

Maybe SBST will purchase the K310UD?

I took the bus and was pretty impressed by it.

Has the performance and comfy feel. Very solid chassis IMO.

I doubt so since 7888K's trial expired alr

more buses to keep up w/ e capacity and flooding up the bus stop?

Ends up you need more buses than u do w/ congestion.

i'm hoping they would purchase 200 or so of such.

fingers crossed for now.

AEW5001 SG

because of high cost of operating DD bus. SD bus is much lower cost to operate. Maybe introduce CItaro buses for long trip and DD bus for short trip example 28 use SD from Toa Payoh to Tampines and 28 A from bedok to Tampines during peck hour use DD. 31 and 31A is a good example.

yeah, but when the population of sg is increasing?

unless u prefer to be packed like sardines.

ok.. today saw SBS9669M.. about 7.40am at the jln kayu bus stop, towards sengkang..

mostly for the AMK/YCK >>> ind park 3 7.30am shift crowd

SBST163 SG

Actually i find there's something wrong with the timings for SBS9669M.

The other time I took this bus from Sengkang Interchange.

The bus came just less than 2 mins after the previous single deck 163 left the interchange.

Ended up, this bus caught up with the single deck 163 at Fernvale Ave.

After which, this 9669 began to drive damn damn damn slow such the distance between both buses became further and further.

Not to mention, the whole double deck bus is almost empty, because most of the passengers boarded the single deck 163 just right in front.

I thought this was just a 1 time incident so I didnt really take it to heart.

The other day, I was waiting for a bus at a bus stop at Yio Chu Kang Road.

I saw a single deck 163 at the opposite bus stop passing by

less than 2 mins again, this same double deck came to the same bus stop.

This time, this double deck is empty. (from what i see lah)

So this gives rise to qns what's the objective of putting a double deck in 163 when the frequency is so short between this bus and the before in front and it does not really pick up any passengers?

Hopefully the 2 incidents only happened once in a while.

which trip is this? the peak trip for this DD slot is the 0810hrs trip from Sengkang and probably the 1730+ departure from toa payoh...

That's right. I'd never been able to take Scania K310UD anytime.

If you're talking about the 1630 departure from Sengkang, arrival around 1730. I think its pretty okay frequency wise. This was observed about a week ago. About 8 minutes from front bus 969G. BC chionged all the way to TPY, upper deck about 10 people max only.

But return trip to sengkang around 6 plus at ST electronics, confirm full pax all the way to the door. I think DD was called in for this reason.

Gus.chong SG

All thanks to those services that downgrade from DD to SD.

Then the company shouldn't have bought so many DDs for the services when they don't even know that the service doesn't even need DDs.
