Observations at Punggol Interchange yesterday, at around 8PM
Sv 3: Demand was high, BCs driving like laojiao already
Sv 34: Still observing
Sv 43/43M: Mostly DDs
Sv 62: So far, seen all DDs, BCs all drive like laojiao
also.
Sv 82: Can do with 1 DD, full SD fleet really not justifiable,
demand and pax travel further than Sv 83
Sv 83: DD at around 8pm today, queue had about 25 pax, however
only 2 pax went onto the upper deck while everyone else in the
lower deck. DD can really be removed and transfer to Sv 3..
Sv 85: Seen quite a few DDs? BC driving quite slowly
Sv 119: Still quite empty, glad to see mostly SDs, I think i
only saw 1 DD?
Sv 136: Still unsure
Sv 382W: BC was driving super slowly and less than 2 pax was
onboard the whole journey.
Sv 382G: had quite abit of demand. :)
Sv 386: Demand was more than i expected.
I noticed BCs switching routes after every trip. Some of them
nearly went the wrong way on some services. For eg, Sv 62 nearly
went straight instead of turning right onto Punggol East
82,83,84,85 & 119 now okay i can say so..3 need to convert 4
SDs to DDs..34 need 2 more buses to play safe.43 can deploy 18 DDs
and 3 SDs while 43M deploy 3 DDs and 3 SDs.62 need to focus more on
freq.118 have to monitor peak hour frequencies..So far today peak
hours 4 mins per bus wahkao...1005-1200 12 mins per bus hmm..136
sia suey one...Bunchings during peak..Depot have to standby buses
in case Sgoon Gdns jam start..386 must add 1 more bus during peak
hour,I see 382G/W frequencies is way too good liao,Today 7 buses
for 382 with a couple of buses crawling with only 4-6 pax on
board!386 must improve more,Sometime 4,Sometime 5 buses?Today peak
hour 6 buses deployed..
