New Premium bus services launching in June

last SG · 2008-06-19T20:55:08+00:00

Something interesting for Premium 587. Based on the route details given, it will most probably…...do a u-turn at the junction of Woodlands Avenues 5/6.

Looking at the one from St Mikes, I dunno, but I think the route can be improved, hmm..

Instead of starting from Ah Hood Road, start from Whampoa Drive. Turn into Jln Bahagia. From Jln Bahagia turn into Jln Rajah. Then Ah Hood Rd. Then Balestier Road, then CTE.

must be due to some PTC rule loh. btw, they charge S$3.60 for this short route as well...

Personally, I don't find the despatching points logical, they consume more dead mileage from the mentioned interchange to the start points.

If I am the planner from SBST Service Devt dept I would ideally put these as the despatching pts

560: despatching pt Ghim Moh Terminal

561: despatching pt Serangoon Interchange

563: GHIM MOH OK

564: despatching pt Buona Vista Ter

565: ST MICHAEL' S OK

566: despatching pt Lor 1 Geylang, put one svc 175 S shift duty to operate 566

A penny for my thoughts.....

SBS877M SG

Svc 587 & 588 do not have any crossovers....fyi

They are "stand-alone duties: meaning these duties will pull out from WLDEP (587AM01) and AMDEP (588AM01), perform the service and then return to depots and that's it...end of day!

The SLs who are driving these duties are normally worker transport SLs. They will drive worker transport on the night before and then after that, they will perform the PBS duties before they call it at day and go home.....

Or sometimes, it will be driven by Lead or Chief SLs and then after the duty ends they will assist the full-time starters at the depot starter office...

Sv 175's freq is alrdy long enough 15 - 20 mins during peak hrs... removing 1 for PBS is not going to any good

64 or 195 can be alternative.

I'm not too sure abt tis

But I've a feeling e bus gotta enter Meyer Rd via Tg Katong Rd Sth so 195 can be a good canidate

what can be done is they add 1 S shift for 175 or 195 as ARBP has quite a number of spares now. just like what was done to the 99 and 166 crossovers.

ZYX2005 SG

just to inform. the new premium service going senett estate sounds very much like then past BLUE ARROW 301 svc service area ..assuming senett est is in the east one.

Also the one going bukit timah is it this BLUE ARROW 306 bus last time?

but 301 entered into e Estate... the new one does not, it serves Macpherson Rd

As for Sv 306, it serves Eng Kong Park.. but new one only serves Sixth Ave & KAP stretch

Bedok South Rd, Bedok South Ave 1, ECP, u-turn at Fort Rd exit, ECP, Tg Katong Rd South, Meyer Rd.

I dont understand why they didnt want to use a Shenton Way Terminal service.

U guys forgot sv196A wic can be re-deployed for sv566 as it returns to Bedok Int via ECP after finishing its run at Shenton Way

nenepokey SG

just a question. is 563 getting KUB x-over?

sbs&tibs SG

Likely. If demand gets better, Mark4.

Yo!

The blue arrow services in the 80s are still in our memories,

301 is from Bedok Gdn to Robinson Rd (via Lucky Heights)

303 is from Tai Kheng Gdns to Robinson Rd

305 is from Mayflower Gdns to Robinson Rd

306 is from Eng Kong Gdns to Robinson Rd

Yes, 306 is the one that serves Bt Timah area.

And for your clarification, Sennett Estate and Sennett Rd are TWO different places

Sennett Estate is at Upp S'goon Area near Potong Pasir, whereas Sennett RD is off Upp East Coast Rd where Chai Chee Secondary School stands, in Lucky Heights.

SBS9888Y SG

just a question. is 563 getting KUB x-over?

definitely. so many KUB on 100. preventive maintenance surely SBST would put them to cross.

if you realised, a lot of crossovers from services with Scania K230UB are using the Scania K230UB.

SBS9888Y SG

I wonder will 560 and 566 use CRB.

service_238 SG

When the premium is running, the FFws and 196A is running as well. 196A is needed to serve the Parkway and Tg Rhu residents to shenton way that's why got 2 buses for 196A during AM Peak (41S 42T). hence I dont think the xover is from 196.

Acx1688 SG

Sv196A will probably be going 1 x extra DD[3 buses total] as demand has increased, will wait till monday to see new premiums x-over
