Something to ask

last SG · 2004-02-07T17:31:15+00:00

There are Mk3s deployed on 35. I have seen them occasionally.

SBS9818A SG

Apparently on weekends not so many buses are needed, so SBST keeps the NAC buses, unless necessary.

th1988 SG

What they just told me in the reply was "it is untrue that AC buses were not deployed on off peak"

SBS9818A SG

I don't understand what you're driving at.

th1988 SG

My meaning is, it is like your 5 day NAC, 2 day FAC to make it PAC theory just to say that sv is still PAC.

Also they claimed that ASD are depoyed throughout the day on wkdays.

th1988 SG

I have further more qns

Is it possible for 19 to be a full day sv?

Is 69 very frequent

Is 83 demand v high

Is 93 demand high

Is 171 suituable to use bendies during academic terms?

Does 285 have DD now?

delonchew SG

354 also full aircon fleet (but 2 buses at most) on weekends. Sometimes Mk3, sometimes Scanias.

off_service SG

1. Not sure

2. Yes

3 / 4. Rather

5. Yes, however, taken out for some unknown reasons.

6. No.

service_238 SG

1. Not possible and not viable.
2. Yes during peak hours. Not really during off-peak hours.
3. Yes but not to full capacity. Its almost full seating capacity thruout daylight hours on weekends.
4. Not that high considering its frequency,
5. Might be possible.
6. Dont think so.

th1988 SG

Looks like I have too many qns to ask

1) Is it possible for 3 to serve up to last train at Pasir Ris to Punggol?

2) Is demand for 22 average?

3) Can 38 use ADDs?

4) Does 56 need ADDs on entire op?

7) Is 145 a canidate fo ADDs (Ignore the short trees at Henderson Road as I want to know the real demand)

Cool Are the ADDs of 153 from the gone 85? Seems to have brunching during off peak and empty buses.

9) Can 175 use bendies as of high demand?

10) Can ADDs be on 192/ 193 when VO 2x are converted?

11) I think 238 needs long buses are there are often brunching on Sat as demand does not really need too many buses

12) Does 252 possible to use ADDs when VO 2x are converted?

13) 410 demand looks high, but if you notice frequency if 10 mins! IMO

14) Can 511 be back as it does not go with the NEL?

15) 605 frequency is now 15 mins, does it mean SMRT is withdrawning it?

That's all but I have more qns to ask

Why? You mean a last bus from Pasir Ris for Punggol residents?

2) Is demand for 22 average?

Can.

4) Does 56 need ADDs on entire op?

Yes!

How to U-turn at the LCK Rd end? (I dunno whether it's possible)

10) Can ADDs be on 192/ 193 when VO 2x are converted?

I have been waiting for years already!

11) I think 238 needs long buses are there are often brunching on Sat as demand does not really need too many buses

DD will do.

12) Does 252 possible to use ADDs when VO 2x are converted?

Yes, in fact most Jurong ind services.

13) 410 demand looks high, but if you notice frequency if 10 mins! IMO

14) Can 511 be back as it does not go with the NEL?

No, transport minister said already.

15) 605 frequency is now 15 mins, does it mean SMRT is withdrawning it?

We shall wait and see.

That's all but I have more qns to ask

Yusry SG

From my visit to LCK Road End on 5th January 2004, there is no way for a Bendy to do a u-turn or even a n-point turn there, unless it reverses into PCG LCK compound.

But along the runway LCK Road, there is sufficient space for the bus to do a 3-point turn, if not a u-turn. So maybe if a short service 175 ever appears, Bendys may appear on them.

service_238 SG

1. Not possible. There will be low demand for that. In fact it serves to last train at PNG and PSR towards TAM.
2. Yes quite average. Might have high demands in the eastern area during peak hours.
3. Can but i think SBST dont find it worthwhile.
4. Not really. However, ADDs on 56 are able to boost pax at unusual times of the day.
5. 100% Yes
6. No.
7. No.
8. I dont think SBST will do that.
9. Yes it does need. but not ADDs.
10. I dont think SBST will do that.
11. Just increase the frequency
12. Wait long long.
13. Yes in due course. I'll give it till end 2005 for it to be withdrawn.

th1988 SG

3 for serving PSR St 71 as last bus to PGL is at 0005

As for answers, pls answer by not "Wait long long" as I just want to know are they suitable and not are whether are going to be inplemented or not.

SBS9818A SG

1. By the time buses return to depot it'd be very late.
2. Sv. 22 is one of the few services plying Kaki Bukit area.
3. Yes.
4. You obviously haven't taken Sv. 56 before and experienced its high loads.
5. Yes.
6. Many Sv. 153 DDs were originals of the service. Exceptions are 9651M and 9660L.
7. Sv. 175 high demand? You must be joking.
8. The 2-axle VOs WILL NOT and CANNOT be converted.
9. SBST are not buying any more super-long or articulated buses.
10. Same as Q8.
11. Sv. 410 has high loads and average frequency of 7 minutes.
12. No
13. Possibly.

off_service SG

The demands of sv 175 will be rather high during peak hours and very high during weekends when the NSF book in/out of their camps. Towards LCK, the DAFs are normally fully packed but don't really need bendies during weekends.

th1988 SG

But if you look at 56, the frequency is 12 mins!

So if it is 9 mins, ADDs are not needed after all.

SBS9818A SG

Even if its 9 minutes the single-decks are struggling to cope with loads.

th1988 SG

Not really if you use calculation

If there are 90 pax, then there are 7.5 pax waiting per min. 9 mins will have 68 pax. Lesser by even 3 mins per trip helps.

th1988 SG

Further more questions,

1) Does 9 terminate at Changi Airport Cargo for the last few trips?

2) Is the demand for 39 high now?

3) Does 66 need ADDs?

4) Can 100 use ADDs?

5) Can 135 use ADDs?

6) Can 139 use ADDs during peak hrs?

7) How is the demand for 177? Miserable?

Cool Are there still overloading on 193 after 182 is enchanced?

9) Does 192, 193, JIS need ADDs after VO 2x are replaced?

10) 231 can use mini bus right?

11) 608 frequency adjusted as well, same fate as 605 as demand is high?

12) Can 925 be PAC IF Tibs has NAC buses?

13) Can 856 and 981 intergrate with 856 being 7-8 mins?
