i have a strong feeling that after the holidays some services are gonna get DDs/bendys…give a guess

BusSpeeder SG

think 13….... 162 don’t even need any. if the dennis darts come to amdep, put on 162 best

ZYX2005 SG

your suspicions re allc orrect. but so fa ri would classify them under bus fan rumor going round.

sbst275 SG

Sv 59 demand is high

Bet Toa Payoh Bedok Reservoir during PM peak, both directions all packed Laughing

muziq bus SG

Erm, will 77 be like 189?
then 945 switches with 77?

Cos 77 only face overcrowding during PM peak from Orchard to BB
morning is not that bad. But BB Sec is moving to the old millenia institute, where 77 serves...
so.........

well, a bendy did appear once.....

sBs_boy SG

For 77, Just increase the Frequency will do.

BBSS Students will most probably walk out to the main road (Jln Jurong Kechil) after school. In the morning, theres always 77A.

darts on 162 Laughing

BusSpeeder SG

its really best for them to do it this way. the bus is so empty during non peak hours, even if during peak hours, it will not be that full, at the most, until all seats are packed excluding students. if with students, a normal bus will supplement for it.

sbst275 SG

162 is really packed during peak hrs

Off peak what to expect...

muziq bus SG

yeah. we'll see.

simply cos, when there was a post regarding ppl wanting bendies on 189...
someone here replied the same...,"increase freq"

but seems like SMRT rather replace a 12m and put a bendy rather than getting more buses in to increase freq...

haha

but we'll see la.

if the rumour is true that is...

BusSpeeder SG

AM peak, maybe. but PM peak, until all seats taken. when off peak, especially at night, its so unutilised and empty that sometimes 162 reach the berth, no one take

201911 SG

Actually 162 has greatly varying demand. During peak hours got lots of students and office workers, but during off-peak (eg weekday afternoon) the bus is super empty. A couple of DDs during peak hours would be good, but during off-peak, yes, Darts are a good choice. Very Happy

Scania SG

Where are your observations taken?

choww SG

Actually the load for 162 is acceptable wat even during off peak..Or u saw empty buses at Shenton Way area?

105090 SG

Maybe he saw the buses empty at the terminals

Scania SG

I think its because he stays in AMK, main load in Bishan/Sin Ming area, cos the AMK areas 162 serve is very near to MRT.

BusSpeeder SG

no, from shenton way - YCK, when off-peak, the passengers load is so low that it doesn't even fill half the bus, if students take the bus, maybe, but 162 never needs any DDs, it'll be great for 162 to have a dart if a dart come to AMDEP. if YCK - shenton way, the load is acceptable.

BusSpeeder SG

near AMK and YCK, but i believe that 162 won't always come empty, there will always be 1 or 2 passengers taking, but i really think if darts come, it should be deployed on it

BusSpeeder SG

you fully understand my point Laughing

BusSpeeder SG

i sometimes go to upp thomson road or maybe thomson road itself, take 162 until used to it.
