Future of bendies for CGA services. Allocation of 40
bendies for CGA services
24 - 05 (this can be monitored. 24's route is common to many
other services until it hits Bedok - CGA section)
27 - 05 (the need for HC buses has reduced with launch of
118 and increasing capacity on other services bound to
Tampines)
34 - 05 (still has v high loading inspite of 118 as it acts
as intratown within Tampines estate)
36 - 05 (heavy loading from Marine Parade to
Suntec)
53 - 10 (heavy loading from Serangoon to HG 1 and PSR to
CGA)
110 - 00 (most of the loading is from TPE Punggol to CGA, to
alleviate loading on 858)
858 - 10 (heavy loading, deserves more bendy allocation than
currently has)
** The shuffling of bendies between these services could change
based on loading changes. For instance, if 127 is extended to
Compassvale, this could further eat into some of 27's loading and
hence, 27 may not need the bendies. Likewise for 36 if they
introduce a service from Siglap to city, no bendies required
because loading between CGA and Marine Parade is low.
I actually think 27's Tampines-CGA loading is bound to increase
as Tampines North develops and some airport employees might move to
flats near Ave 9/10. So it doesn't harm to put a few more bendies
on the full route I guess?
