What situation?I only heard 358 and 359 travel 4 buses within 3 mins..Too many SBST want to drive Townlinks.

Hi mr carbikebus, I mean the situation for all the go ahead services for Punggol, pasir ris, Changi village and Changi airport (service 36). Cheers. Thanks.

What is wrong with 187? SD spam and only 2 DDs?

What is new in it? ;-)

No need to take serious on his post. He is crazy.

Don't feed the troll.

is go ahead improving? any instance of long headway, midsing buses, hijacked?

There is slightly an improvement though can still be adjusted especially the runtime is too tight.No case of missing buses so far.

Svc that need refinement

Punggol:3,Can convert 2 more SD to DD

34:Add another full day shift bus.

43:Add 1 more full day duty and give more rest time at Upp East Coast,Current rest time is only 8-13 mins..Proposed between 11-17 mins.

43M:Convert 2 DD to SD..Upper deck only a few pax

62:Need to adjust runtime,Maintain headways.Terminate at Lor 1 Geylang Ter more better so BCs can go toilet or smoke break.If 17 can be bi-directional why 62 which is more longer can't?

82,83,84 & 119 so far so good.

85 i think got slight improvement after 8 SMRT BCs assist..But seriously no need full DDs.

136:Add 1 more full day bus and adjust runtime.

118:Should add 1 more split duty..

382 so far just average.386 need one more full duty.

carbikebus SG

S17A will do three trips non stop before resting at BDK Int for 14-18 mins..From outside Bndep given only 5 mins to OS and start trip back opp Bndep..Wahkao..

S17 better to loop at BDK,Rest time only from 7-13 mins.

43M downgrade 2 DD? I will rather have 2 DDs cut. Can reduce BCs also.

So today Go-ahead operate a trip of truly express 518 from suntec to pasir Ris. Special journey via the entire KPE then TPE then pasir ris. Skipping tampines.

lemon1974 SG

Got ppl feedback that they waited 1 hr for sv36 at T3 on Friday afternoon. Buses that came are off service.

actually sv36 can start trip from T2(without pax) then off service to T3 to start new trip. Believe that there is a flyover along airport boulevard that can allow vehicle from T2 to go to T3.

No way can Go Ahead continue to operate a full fleet Shitaro.

Ask the ppl to go open their eyes BIG BIG and check the svc details then...

Nobody, yes NOBODY, would, and SHOULD board at T3 since it clearly says that buses operate off T2 and T3 is only an alighting stop for inbound buses. If one wants to take 36 he got to move over to T2 and board there. It isn't that far away either what!

SBS 9256 X SG

Ask the ppl to go open their eyes BIG BIG and check the svc details then...

If in that case, might as well give Svc 36 back to SBS Transit and have it the way it used to be. I agree that it is not far away but it maybe gives a bad impression to the tourist that you have to board it at T2 instead of boarding at T3 and T1 where their flights lands.

So must get Go-Ahead deploy staff and inform the passengers. Common for Singaporeans and some tourist not to read the service details as they have a guide book and all guide books do mention that Svc 36 goes to City from Terminal 3, 1 & 2.

Just my opinion... But I do think it is very absurb to have those wanting to take svc 36 to board the service from T2 instead of right at where they landed in T3 & T1

lemon1974 SG

All the way there is no issue in boarding at T3. So did Go-ahead change the route? If so, they should remove the 36 queue at T3/T1. Is there any poster that T1/T3 that ask paxes who wan to board sv36 to go to T2? Further , the paxes were able to board a sv36 bus after 1 hour. So that mean that sv36 is still picking up paxes. Just that GA screw up the operation by making many buses off service at that timing.

carbikebus SG

You all should continue to screw GA until you all feel happy or LTA kick out GA lor..As for me I didn't give a hoot also,As long i follow LTA schedule I'm safe..

BusAnalayzer SG

It is high time LTA does something about the bus infrastructure at CGA. There is so much time wasted per bus moving from one terminal to another, do security check everytime and the basements are usually hot and unhealthy with fumes.

Buses should just operate on the main level like taxis do. They can relook the map of CGA and figure out a way to do it.

Now with T4 coming up next year, what each bus will enter T4 as well??

If they do it by the roadside without these security checks, the movement between terminals will be quick and even faster even after doing T4.

Wake up LTA on CGA bus infra.

Good point made there. But if let say if the bus does go to the main level, would it like cause some conjestion esp when there r taxis and other vehicles at the pickup/dropoff areas?

High capacity service; 27 and 34.

They will have to redraw some of the plans but it should be possible. Better than the current situation.
