Which Feeders/Short-Haul sv need DDs?

carbikebus SG

From my observation S334 really needs at least two DDs during peak hours & Weekends PM.The Merc always packed like sardines and considering 334 routes are quite far for feeder services it's certainly justified for DDs.

S410 need PERM DDs.Just ask Bishan residents and i'm sure they agreed.

S238,S359 need DDs during peaks & Weekends.

S291 needs perm DDs too.

S83 needs 1 DD to cater the students during Weekdays

stooper SG

240 & 243 need DDs too. During the PM peak, you'll see all their buses full to the door. There used to be occasional VO2x cameos in the past, but now no more... Sad

iveco SG

240, 242, 334 & 359 had perm DDs in the past.

302 & 307 had perm DDs under SBS.

carbikebus SG

I feels that S238 didn’t require DD as the route are too short,But with a better frequencies yes

242 already got perm DD mah.240 i think SDs can cope think only 1 or 2 trips in the PM Peak packed.Mybe should add 1 bus during the time frame Very Happy For 334 ya.

333/334/335 used to have many perm LO2X DD in the past during my sch days.. Laughing

but they change to Merc DM CAC/OAC after all LO2X were scrapped right??

Volvo Olympian SG

Yup.

From my observation , i think Feeders that need DD’s will be Service 291 , 333 , 334 , 335 , 83 and many more. Lucky S60 got DD’s

stooper SG

333 & 335 got CAC MK2 fleet before they got transfered away from SLBP.

I don't think 333 needs DD anymore... The load is rather hopeless even with SDs at 13min frequency...

Many people gave up 333 aft it was amended to serve Toh Guan then to Jurong East as pax have to go 1 big round bef reaching Jurong East Ave 1. Sad

They rather take 98/334 to Jurong East Ave 1 & since 334 charges feeder fare so it shifts former 333 pax to take 334; making 334 also full.

Volvo Olympian SG

Hmm , no wonder 333 less people take except the Jurong East St 32 that part.

brotherchen1982 SG

Some people(including my Pri Sch mates) who in St 32 also take 334 to the bus at the Mkt(Blk 347) & walk back to their hses at St 32. Mr. Green

stooper SG

Yeah, my friend too will usually take whatever comes first (187, 98 or 333).

SBS 233 X SG

291! Laughing

I hope there's cross-over from 23 or 81 will do. After 7pm, the demand is crazy for both bounds.

18 needs the cross-over DDs from 30! They still can't cope with 33's SD.

sinicker SG

must also see its viability.

some feeders have DDs but its route quite short. passengers lazy to go upstairs and rather stand downstairs.

an example would be S291 for a significant amount of its load alights at the Blk 201 area. there were times when i boarded it frm the int. lower deck packed.. i squeezed my way and went upstairs.. wah so many seats! Laughing

on another note, if a VSO can do 291, a B9 can too!

musli_bar SG

18 used to have X-over DDs from 14 before Sad

410. Without a doubt.

Let me clarify the PURPOSE of JE feeders.
333 - Toh Guan to Jurong East Avenue 1 link, JE St 32 link, JE to Toh Guan (though this looks hopeless, outrun by 52, 105 and 183)

334 - general JE Feeder from JE Int to JE Avenue 1/JW Avenue 1. The loading is too high. Especially evening peak. Maybe 2 S Shift buses can do extra 1 round of 334 before calling it a day (for weekdays). (follow 2994U)

335 - JE feeder to JW St 41/51/52. It should be quicker for the JW Avenue 1 stretch. This feeder is manageable. Maybe an extra bus will suffice.

Now, assisting services:
333: 52, 105, 183 all help 333 out. No wonder 333's load is very poor.
334: 98. Sadly, even that service isn't coping very nicely with the loads. Already from JE Int a SD becomes FULL.
335: JE/JW Avenue 1 will be 98. All other sections it's the sole runner.

No_10_Tomas SG

410 used to have 0305 and LO2X

svc which don't need DDs are
