Complains by commuters (From press)

Classic numbskull. What next, he’ll say Sv. 88 has low demand.

tranquilice SG

Ok, but one operated on weekdays while the other one operated on weekends. So in my opinion, even if there is a service 62B, it will most likely not operates on the same days of service 62A.

I think this sentence is incorrect. There are some SBST trunk services that are not FAC.

107 loads are quite healthy, but it still does not need that amount of DDs. Currently 107 mainly serves as a feeder service for pax living between NEL stations.

btw if I'm correct when it was at Serangoon it operated only NAC Scanias. Why the sudden jump to VOs when switched to HGDEP?

Yap, one example.

Bus 19 is supposed to be a FAC service but after some months, I was shocked to see the NAC scanias , wanted to complain to SBST about it but what's the point. I guess they are short of buses at that time.

leeJZ SG

When did you see it? I havetn seen NAC buses on 19 for months.

tranquilice SG

VO 2-axles were also on service 107 during its Serangoon days.

tranquilice SG

When was it? Recently?

Change of depot control.
now 107 acts as a substitute to 97 from hougang to raffles place.

Actually last year but early this year, the NAC buses suddenly popped out.

tranquilice SG

I thought service 19 is a PAC service until a few months ago. The last time I saw NAC buses on this service is in March this year.

119 demand is v low on weekend...
107 peak demand is lower than e.g sv 90 during peak

40 has v low demand... V funny... So svs like 6, 37, 90, 93, 95 are feeders when they are PAC? Rolling Eyes

No, depots are very bias. Seeing Sv 8 has v low demand on sun and they deploy Super Olympian? Seeing no passengers inside the bus

sbst275 SG

Now FAC Very Happy

leeJZ SG

You just further confirmed that you are indeed th1988.

107 demand during off peak hours / weekends is MUCH MUCH better than 90.

8 does not have very low demand on Sundays - it has average demand. It is a valuable feeder service in Tampines. The weekend and off peak demands of 90 is what I call very low demand.

Although I agree with you that the VSO should stay on 31 which is mainly a school bus / leisure route, where as 8 is mainly a feeder / industrial service.

What is FAC?

tranquilice SG

Full air con (service).

Airbus330Captain SG

I still see sub NAC scania on 19 a few times these past few weeks.

sbst275 SG

I will keep your posted on the reply from SBST regarding Sv 62

sbst275 SG

I'm not but just have a sixth sense after seeing a post on this

OK, but 107 demand is low (Based on SGN Int days...)

I have contacts with SBST staff, you answer me this... Why insist that 107 has high demand? They have adjusted many times (With lesser buses everytime) during peak hrs? The frequency is now 11-14 mins. But I do know that off peak demand are higher, but peak hr, the demand is 2 times lower. See by time

As for Sv 8, I was the only passenger inside the bus along Macpherson Rd

As for me, I dun stay at this forum bef (Let me say this clearly, I do not wish to repeat myself).. In fact, I got into this forum through relative working in SBS

leeJZ SG

You insist 107 is low demand. It is not a low demand service, last time I took it the lower deck of DD was very crowded, the upper deck rather empty though. Although demand might be low inside the city, demand along Upp Serangoon Rd is very good - one time i was on 2795 and stopping at every single bus stop along the road...

8 demand is quite good in Tampines / Bedok. Peak hr demand should be very good as well if not SBST wouldnt deploy them at 5min freq during morning peak.

btw when did you take the svc 8 bus? Maybe its a bunched up trip.

19's NAC had been replaced by about 5 mk3s.
