Any regular takers of 197 here who feels that the frequency of this service is poor? As the frequency can get as long as 15 minutes interval during peak hour...

Loading for 48 is okay la..Peak hours i see those two DDs not that full house.Maybe add 1 more DD better.

36B can change to 36M.4 DDs and 2 SDs to supplement 36.Off peak frequencies between 14-19 mins and 8-13 mins during peak hours.Can built a small terminal office at Siglap Link there.

48 main loading is AM from Marine Parade/Tanjong Katong to Bugis/Rochor. Almost every bus will be in red zone and will find it difficult to take pax at One Amber before hitting ECP. PM peak I agree, loading is spread out so not that full house.

I really hope they build Siglap Terminal - have space + is a great location to house many services incl. 55, 135, 155 and 36M. This way Bishan, AMK and TPY can also get some relief if Siglap is made the main resting base.

usually only 05 minutes.

Does Siglap Terminal do overnight parking? Last week I went to airport at around 530am, and saw 2 DDs and 2 SDs parked there.

I think they got provision at Siglap also.

Many of the feeders during peak hours park bus for 5 minutes and depart again. Also saw 145 at Toa Payoh during morning peak hours has waiting time of only 05-07 minutes before start next journey to BNV.

@array88: just my thoughts in red.

Defu Ave 1 - Unlikely to be covered in near future. Agree. Heard most of the complexes there are small business operations and hence does not have critical mass.

There used to be a feeder sv323 serving Defu Ave 1, which used minibuses before its withdrawal in 2002. I guess the deployment of minibuses on sv323 and its subsequent withdrawal is sufficient to prove that the developments along Defu Ave 1 do not need a bus service.

How about a bus service from Punggol > Sengkang > Hougang > KPE > CBD that passes through that stretch of Defu Ave 1?

Boxmen12353 SG

buses i think need to come at more regular intervals

It's been one year now since svc 382G/W is running empty. Hopefully, 2017 will be see an increase in demand.

Observed some BC who are driving mainly rigid suddenly drive bendies

8027G BC jz nw was ex 969 SD BC

One of 960 BC jz nw was perm 911E SD BC

1203H BC was ex 858 SD BC

How many yrs of experience they need to drive bendies after driving rigid?

The closed stretch of road along Changi South Ave 1 (outside Expo MRT station) seems to have undergone some clearing (for reinstatement?). Perhaps would be reopening soon in the next few months or so?

Can expect 20 to re-route via either Somapah Rd or Expo Dr, and 47/118 via the reinstated stretch. 20 would skip CS Ave 1 (Yusen Logistics), 47/118 would skip CS Ave 2 (Changi City Point), but all three would serve any upcoming bus stops right outside the station exits.

sbst191 SG

honestly for 382G/W i think it's faster for me to walk to sumang rather than waiting for the bus and getting there.

Got a few occasion where elderly always ask me if SBST have change their uniform colour again when i drive SBS plate buses with SBST Livery..Some will ask why the bus is SBS plate despite its lush green colour..
