Hopefully somebody here would not compared our GCM with Australia i hope..Aussie is Aussie and Sg is Sg..why not?

A22 fan SG

I also felt surprise too for SBST accepting A24s. Well its a good thing as sbst trys to prove that they add more dimension by adding more models in their fleet to maximum variety..A22s also too..đđđ

lemon1974 SG

obviously, this is stated in the tender..... so which ever operator who gotten the seletar contract will get the A24...

sgbuses SG

And maximize operational costs...BCM has obviously lost its way. Wait till you hear about the next fare hike announcement.

Hi sgbuses, fare hike is always expected. However it is not really up to the claim of $4.20 which you stated previously. Cheers. Thanks.

they are going to lose 800 million a year on bus operations. so let say they need to recover 50% of that .. it will be 400 million..

4mil bus passengers every day x 365 days = 1.46 billion passengers trips per year.

400 mil / 1.46 billion = 0.27..

so need to increase average $0.27/TRIP to cover 400 million... but problem is that many of the trips are transfer trips (which we are paying $0.05 or $0.10),,so definitely have to increase more to cover...

first of all, i think they have to increase price for City Direct... these CDs are losing big money everyday....

Agreed that why its wiser to award to Public operator which pay based on mileage

And there is a public backlash after PTOs started operating City Direct services.

Wait for two to three more years and you can expect the same level of anger against bus services as how they currently feel about train services.

Let them be,after a while they will keep quiet.Today 666 second bus play hide and seek also.

Several YCK bus routes (including 13 and 72) are now parking at SEDEP while the remaining AMK routes (part of Seletar contract) are still at AMDEP.

Sadly 13 is under Bedok,72 is under Tampines..166 will be under Clementi in future

166 majority BBDEP, so considered Clementi contract, just like 147. BBDEP minority ones like 156 should be excluded.

147 & 166 no problem under Clementi but 156 should be under Hougang-Sengkang considered majority of the routes is within North East & Central

TPS Timothy Mok SG

Sadly 13 is under Bedok,72 is under Tampines..166 will be under Clementi in future

depot transfer is ongoing for AMK/YCK/Seletar then Bukit Merah package to Ulu Pandan Bus Depot which will see additional closures. Then Gali Batu, and Mandai, including Changi Bus Depots.

It's like a humiliation for SMRT as an anchor operator sial.Why LTA don't want give 825 to SBST and let SMRT retain 851?I am pretty sure they will deploy more DDs once the bendies scrap gradually

most likely sv825 will be withdraw by the time the sembawang /yishun contract start, as TEL will most likely be running by then.. couple with 71... (maybe they will introduce sv71M with alternate trip via lentor loop/lentor road/lentor drive

dun think LTA will want to buy some mini buses, unless they can get some hybrid model or electric model..

Hino Hybrid 10.5m will be the good choice,Wakakaka

Dennis lance used to serve 825 long time ago so regular 12m bus shld be ok, although demand is low except peak hr. I think 825 would stay although they can make it on-demand svc during off peak, like the upcoming trial for 84/400/402 etc.

carbikebus SG

Actually Amdep can take all those Wldep B9TL for easier transition next year.If Amdep got excess of Citaros,Can transfer to both Kjdep/Wldep.

JKYY SG

Hmmm... who should be awarded the Bukit Merah Bus Package out of the 6 bids? I wonder why Bus 145 is under this package...

145 should be either Clementi or stay with Toa Payoh-Bishan.

Bt Merah should take 92 & 111.
