svc 28 turn in tampines like loads of struggles leh… and orchard turn always jam up because buses turn into orchard turn from orchard link, need to use all t...

Volvo Olympian SG

they use to have , the LO2x Laughing

collinnxk88 SG

I wouldnt mind a LO3X on 334. Laughing

simply bcos the loading during peak hours is seriously xiong.

brotherchen1982 SG

Service 225 & 243 are bi-directional so no need DDs

sbst275 SG

Sv 222....

Upper deck not packed, lower deck packed Laughing

105090 SG

242 has DD is by virtue that many passengers alight quite late in the trip, towards st 92..

if they take only 2-3 stops, they wont go up Laughing

SBS BUSES LOVER SG

but 243 used to have dds (lo2x) on both sides G&W .

SBS BUSES LOVER SG

it also used to have vo2x cameos , esp during NDP rehearsal
SBS 7255L ^ SBS 7239J

bus555 SG

same for service 410 too because during peak hour (eg. like today) will be very crouded like sardines because of ppl going to Bright Hill Temple lar and etc.

choww SG

Used to have LO2X last time. And your reason for overloading will only last for 2 weeks.

brotherchen1982 SG

Most of the time THEN the upper deck are quite empty throughout the routes, also many ppl take 243G/W either to Geh Pok Shop Ctr/Mkt at Pioneer Rd Nth to buy things bef Pioneer Mall opened.

With those small trolleys & ppl carry many items, many would rather wait to alight at lower deck.

But after LO2xs retired, DDs are deploy on those high riderships services(e.g 174) & Service 181 to help out at Geh Pok area if not you can see LO/VO3xs on 243 now. Laughing

If you notice NOW, two 243G/W buses always arrive almost together at certain point of the route, with 1 full & 1 empty, so DDs may not be necessary.

brotherchen1982 SG

Service 334 to be always packed NOW a lot of pax take it & alight at Jurong East/West Ave 1 as an alternative to Service 98/99 along Service 334 route to save time & $$$ & let those who wanted to go to Jurong West St 42 have to wait for another bus.

By comparing;

Fare
Feeder : 65c
Trunk : Depends on fare stages

Route
98 : Passes by a lot of bus stops/traffic lights bef reaching Jurong East Ave 1(Parc Oasis)
99 : Need to walk out to bus stop os Jurong East Int to board

hiphop2009 SG

284 also.

by the time u go up liao den u would hav reached ur destination~

swee_heng SG

Btw there isnt enough DDs in SLBP for 334 , they wont use B9 as there's no PIW on 334's route.

swee_heng SG

Why services like 3 , 19 , 40 , 43 , 82 , 100 , 101 cannot have DDs?

SBS9806J SG

The SP VO3x?

Volvo Olympian SG

19 got 2 perm DD rite if im not wrong

Sv 3 , i think again narrow roads inside Pasir Ris/Tampines areas?

TWS4793 SG

Yes, Service 3 have to ply narrow roads in the Tampines area.

gohby SG

Not all the bus services will get DDs simply due to the demand factor, heights, etc etc. Dont think that bus services should get DDs for the sake of doing so. It is very apparent that 3 bypasses narrow roads, 19 already has DDs, 40, 82, 101 has low demand, hence totally no need for DDs. For service 43, DD trials had been conducted but apparently it isnt a viable option to have DDs on 43.

muziq bus SG

since 186 used to have DDs,
then does it mean it is possible for DDs to go through Bt Timah rd near SCGS?

sbst275 SG

Not that stretch

186 uses the same rt at Bt Timah as Sv 153 and 154
