Amendment to Service 804 to loop at Yishun Street 41

^tamago^ SG

Route amendment to Service 804 with effect from Sunday, 25th April 2004

In conjunction with the opening of Yishun Street 41, Service 804 will be amended to ply along Yishun Central 1, Yishun Ave 2, Yishun Ring Rd, (Yishun Street 41), Yishun Ave 1 and Yishun Ave 11 with effect from Sunday, 25th April 2004.

As such, Service 804 will call at the new bus stop outside Northbrooks Secondary School along Yishun Ring Rd.

It will no longer call at the bus stops outside Blk 419 (Yishun Ave 11) and opposite Blk 433 (Yishun Ave 1). Affected passengers can board the service at the opposite side.

On the same day, the shortworking variant, Service 804A will be withdrawn. Other operating details remain unchanged.

will bendies be deployed fully on Svc 804 in the near future, or even starting tomorrow or monday when demand warrants it?

with the schedule review necessary, if the bendies come into play, would the interval of Service 804 be longer?

Likely. Svc 804 load is quite high. However, it may take a few months before that happen, as TIBS must first find out the equilibrum between svc 806 and svc 804 loads. Currently, svc 806 loads are very much higher than svc 804 during peak hours.

I spotted one 0405G cruising by St 41 from my window this morning. Still trying to spot for more, but all boxes.

Yes. The frequency before the bendy is 10mins. Boxes still remain at 7mins per bus. TIBS is notorious for doubling the frequency b4 a bendy arrives. This happended when 806 only have one bendy in the past.

It still remains to be seen wad would become of svc 806, and im still waiting for TIBS to reply to my query. Before that happens, it is groundless to speculate on it, as 806 and 804 runs in opposing directions, and there is still much demand for it.

It seems like people would rather take 806 to Yishun Central than 804 as 804 goes further down and turn down at Yishun Ave 2.

there will be full bendy deployment on svc 804 for all days. these bendies transferred from other svcs will be permanently deployed on svc 804 (no off for these 6 buses) and thus they will "lose" these bendies to svc 804.

they are:
TIB1092K (106/190?)
TIB1093H (106/190?)
TIB1136T (854?)
TIB1137R (851)
TIB1174H (806/812)
TIB1198P (851 SUN)

round-trip timings for sundays
early morning: 30mins
late morning-afternoon (peak): 34mins

comment: the trip was zappy. the drivers seem to be rushing for time. 851 had more O405G "Citaros" Box running today.

TIB 1092/1093 have since left sv 106.
TIB 1136 is a sv 811 bus.
TIB 1174 is a sv 980 bus.

okie gd. i'm not in touch with deployments already.

TIB1186Z SG

1092??? When did u see it?

TIB1160Y is also on 804 tdy. Its from 806
TIB1174 is from 980,not 806 and 812
TIB1198 is a permer on 851 on ALL days
TIB1136, 1137 are also very common on 851

1092K and 1093H are AMDEP Sv. 106 buses. Migrated to Sv. 61 after Sv. 106 was cut and 1093H has now settled on Sv. 804.

i live along 851 route and i only saw 1198P on weekends! i'll be happy to sit on tat type of bus but i never got to do so often. strange.

as for 1160Y, is it the 7th bus running or is it replacing one of the 6 buses?

TIB1186Z SG

Hmm..so sad....as for me i see it and take it very often on 851 on my way to school and back to Yishun.

On Sunday, the habits are not deployed on one shot. There was only one bendy in the morning until 9+, the others were boxes. After 9+, the fleet increase to 5 bendies, and no boxes. I have reason to believe that 2 additional buses were added after 12pm to cope with the demand. Hence, i think 1160Y is the 7th bus, i saw it at 11+.

SBS9818A SG

Sv. 804 had 7 O405Gs at 3pm.
