some BNL trunk services are dual depot controlled, how would it be possible to introduce jump bus?

introduce for the single depot ones. i.e. JIS and 174. If all have jump bus, they save 8 buses.

192 193 doesnt need as it doesnt park at Boon Lay
Feeders dont jump bus but they can try and that would be a first for feeders

Help you add a few words in:

Boon Lay is a big int that has serious parking problems during peak hour, not like AMK.

i totally agree with you

Not really. Some TPY feeders do practise jump bus.

I've noticed that the yellow flashing lights at the end on berths have been removed. Any reason of doing so?

forgot my own turf Toa Payoh feeders were the first to introduce jump bus in 2006 when there was fleet expansion (not the feeders themselves) in general.

Smooth operation this morning.. except that I heard that svc 154 cock up. Late for more than 45mins. No bus at BNL.

hope when the new joo koon terminal comes out some of these problems can be solved...

In the first place those are placed at the wrong location (or they shouldn't even be there at all). The only interchange which has this before Boon Lay Int opened was Toa Payoh at the 88 and 31 lots, cos these two have lots which are totally obscured by the stairs, and thus these were installed to alert oncoming buses of a reversing bus.

Most, if not all of Boon Lay's lots don't have such a problem, and the lights are placed so far in such that they serve no purpose.

the interchange layout @ SBST info panels has a new layer of sticker, which is the swapping of end-on services.

Jump bus won't work, in fact it will affect the freq if it is not managed well. Svc 99 is the best example.

So far, BC are complaining of wanting longer break time.

dun keep say wont work.. if wont work, why AMDEP practise jump buses for so many services? If SLBP dun practise jump buses, then the whole interchange jam up, also affect the frequency...

Sv99 is different issue...it is up to BBDEP to resolve the issue at their end.

no place to park how to give longer break time?

99 resolved the issue when they removed jump bus somewhere last year. At that time k230s were already perm on the service.

Another reason why 99 have problems is due to the very long route and different driving habits of different drivers. Add on to the good frequency that's why you see bunching.

What you want..

Sv99 is not fully due to jumpbus that the freq sot lah. If like that then all other services practicising jumpbus all haywire meh?

Sv99 is mostly due to the attitude of the drivers doing the route. BB being BB you should know what I mean.

Jumpbus provides a longer break time for drivers (usually can hit around 15-19 minutes when not mealbreak session). It's the next best solution to curing the chaos at the new interchange. If 246, 249, 251 & 252 can implement jumpbus just for the time being during peak hours at least there won't be so much of a parking lot crunch.

If they are still so lazy and insist on bus follow driver, then dream on for a longer break time.
