Fleet addition for 966 during peak hours from 14 December 08

last SG · 2008-12-03T23:32:55+00:00

Did anyone know the redeployment of S966 yesterday. I was like seeing the usual buses like 565U, 593M, 435L, 499C, 510C, 584P, 754S and 749G was what I could...

My ride during the off peak hrs has told me that the bus is always full seated. Its worst for the last few buses of the day. Packed to the front.

Its the same during AM peak towards Parkway Parade. (630am to 900am)
Besides packed to the front, you cannot even board the bus.

some times i wonder if you use your brain before typing, woodlands got alot of oc500le?

wldep got alot but they are not done up ready for KJ and AMK depot..

manjieass SG

I hope the "one bus" = one bendy. If it's a rigid, don't think it's much of a help.

maybe they put one spare UD??

manjieass SG

WLDEP no OC-.-

info from bus admin is tat wldep will only get it from the 2nd batch..

TIB537B SG

maybe they put one spare UD??

But 1 month later still have to replace the UD with another bus.

Will they even deploy bendies to 966? That's the question I'd like to ask..

Aiya~ you want expressway choing bendies~ take 190

15 minutes of expressway entertainment from Orchard -> BP

but sadly, that cameo is not a slot from 966. on that faithful day, TIB868X did 966 as a 963 crossover.

If 15 mins, then not entertainment liao cos the buses going at ~60 only. The chiongsters can complete the journey in 10 mins.

966 should really get crossover bendies at least. I always see 110% load rigids at 7.30 from BPJ towards marine parade. Yet people will still try to squeeze on board cos the next one will come in >10mins, unlike 190.

Stage SG

At least 20~30 minutes I guess? Lucky I don't frequent 966 often unless I'm joyriding. So.. SMRT got popular service, still don't want to give better treatment..

Eh, popular only at certain periods of time, X-over would be suffice...
evening runs are crowded due to jams which delay the arrival of bus... There are times when the 1st bus is crowded, the follow on bus is ok

Stage SG

Now I get it.. Went to have a look just now. It was okay till there was a bus packed till the BC allowed commuters to get in from Exit door... But the follow on bus didn't take so long to arrive and was quite empty...

AEW5001 SG

unless they deploy in a way such that 2 standard buses leave WL Int together towards Marine Parade

Acx1688 SG

Control do not need to do that, it's the time of passenger loading... Buses leave on schedule fr Woodlands Int. As certain crowds ALWAYS board at certain times[sv966 in particular], it will delay the scheduled timesheet arrival of sv966 at their respective bus stops which is why the next bus is able to play catch up... So if you are a regular sv966 user, dun try to squeeze up a crowded bus, the next one is just behind...[subject to Traffic conditions along E'way]

Orange-mush SG

I'm a regular off-peak S966 user and I don't really face these problems...... But nowadays I realised that S966 now getting bunched..... I'm seeing S966 every 5 mins.
