43M/118

all the PSR feeder have chance of DDs?

Not sure if PSR feeders need DDs. 359 has good frequency and loading is high only in east loop as west loop is covered by 58/88 too. 358 loading around 30-45 pax in both loops.

Why not?359 loadings can anytime beat 83 & 85 loadings and this crap GAS still insist on deploying full DDs which waste more fuel.I ever drive 359 number of times and the loadings during peak hours surely need 2-3 DDs..

BusAnalayzer SG

Ha ha ha... yes if you compare it to 119 and 83, then almost all services can do with DDs.

Why is GAS being so stupid with its deployment of DDs? Why not give it to svc 3? Have you tried speaking to them?

I’m just a small fry,They said passengers never complain what.

Sadly 80% of them is ex-SBST staffs.

carbikebus SG

Ask them deploy more DDs during Saturdays they bo chup.

Ask them deploy 3 DD for 136,They say runtime not enough and the tree branches along Serangoon Gdn is too low.

Ask them deploy DD or add more buses for 386,They keep quiet.

SMB145B SG

119 shouldn't have any DDs unless the next 119 comes in an hour.

BusAnalayzer SG

119 shouldn't have any DDs unless the next 119 comes in an hour.

True... feel really bad that such non-deserving services get DDs.

Remembering the times that DDs ever being deployed on service 136 during their SBSt era somewhere around in 2013 during morning and evening peak hours as a BSEP movement to prove the loadings.

Just another convenient excuse... Last time 83 and 85 passengers also never complain what.

in fact it was actually deployed since long ago using Leyland Olympians, and even lasted till the last weekday ops of 136 under SBST

HI mr array88, you are wrong. Residents staying in Sengkang West complain to their MP about overcrowding of 85 during peak hours and since then 85 DDs were introduced. Cheers. Thanks.

DDs were fine but not the extend of full DDs la,Pax will never stop complaining in Singapore.

Note: With the growth of population in Sengkang West, residents complained about overcrowding of 85. Just wondering because all the time since 2008, Yishun was in a limbo as it is height restricted, some more bus services are also in Ang Mo Kio Depot which is also height restricted too. These barriers were lifted in March 2015 and August 2015, effectively allowing 39,85,854,856,857,860 to use DDs.

Hi mr carbikebus, full DDs on 83 and 85 are a blessing to those who live in Punggol central. Now no longer need to feel squeezy without others. Somehow, 83 and 85 full DDs manage to complement a lack of DDs on service 3. So nothing to complain. In this world, you win some and you lose some. That's life. Nothing can be perfect. Cheers. Thanks.

lemon1974 SG

then you are wrong... in this case, bus deployment can be change .. so if remove 1/2 of the DDs on 83/ 85 and put it on sv3 and Sv136, then the situation will be better (although not really 100% perfect).

dupdup77 SG

Hi mr lemon1974, you are not really right either. It has been so long but the bus deployment for 83/85 has not changed at all. I still see so many DDs on 83 and 85 day after day. I foresee most services will be DDs in future except for the minority. Cheers. Thanks.

TIB 585L SG

So in other words there will be DDs even if the demand of tht svc doesnt need it at all just to ensure pax can have ‘space’?

carbikebus SG

If you say like that,Operators will lose more fuel cost.Imagine weekends 83/85 is not even fully seated on the lower deck..Bendy and DD consume more fuel than SD

carbikebus SG

My stand will be 5 DD(2 from 85 and 3 from 83)to service 3,136 can use 3 DD from 43/43M

TIB 585L SG

Suddenly in the future buses like 284/282 all use DD haha
