Another problem,Singapore is getting too crowded with Foreign talents and new citizens.5 plus million for a tiny island is too cramped already.Even Johor onl...

You mean this???

Wait till SBS Transit sees this, then they might just order 200 of them in future.

This is better ....

MeOwSuSan SG

only way is to implement more bus lanes.

Cos designating some into semi express will soon find complains

cut down the stop ....

you can have express bus by following the MRT Stop , like from the downline 2 only 13 stop , 67 just follow that la .... save alot of time .

Relax.

We still have a few more years before the population hits 6 million.

Enjoy your bus and MRT rides as much as you can now.

it's not going to be well taken cos lots of ppl still have e mindset buses must stop at all minor or major bus stops.

There are recent newspaper reports stating that some bus services will be getting more bigger capacity buses. Aren’t the bus operators just plucking some of the bendies and double-decks from other routes to insert into these routes? And what happened to those “downgraded” routes?

sbst275 SG

Cite some examples - Sv 22.

With CCL, the demand for Ang Mo Kio - Ubi stretch has been significantly reduced, hence not only reduce 1 S shift.

zero gravity SG

I think that these 'downgraded routes'(A) have actually a v. high demand.However,SBS and SMRT(these are just predictions) sees a bus service with a higher demand(B) and thus puts extra buses from these services to the 'higher-demand' ones.The demand for service A however still remains the same,and we would soon see empty buses on A and packed buses on B.So this is sort of a chicken-and-egg problem,really.

Extra Capacity Services
S5's DD was taken from the spare fleet, swapped with a single deck.
S58's DD was swapped with Service 70's SD. Means a single deck went S70 for obvious reasons that demand has dropped since CCL opened.
S78's DD was taken from the spare fleet
S174's DD was taken from the spare fleet, swapped with a single deck.
S240's DD were taken from spare fleet, the 2 K230s went to the spare fleet

Extra Trip Services
S15's extra trips were made possible by a fleet addition of 1 single deck from the spare fleet
S17's extra trips were made possible by a fleet addition of 1 single deck from the spare fleet
S97s extra trips were made possible by a fleet addition of 1 single deck from the spare fleet
S410's extra trips were made possible by having a S55 bus crossing over to the service. S55 had some trip adjustments but total trips during peak period remained the same. Its about reallocation of the split shift duty timing.

So which service received a 'downgrade'?
