Capacity changes on bus services (Part 2)

last SG · 2016-02-02T12:08:53+00:00

851 got back 2 bendies. Interesting how SMRT downgrades 851 when it goes low on bendy resources, and when it finds some bendies, it deploys back on 851. Its...

Looks like 21 will get DD fleet add.

doesnt seem like.. most likely convert of one S-shift to AP shift and ask one S-shift to do one more trip...

Today 979 has DD on AP, SMB3534S, spotted it at 3.40pm

Edit: ignore that, completely forgot that today is public holiday..

there are still 3 missing sv74 BBDEP buses (someone anyhow edit 2 DDs into fleet of sv74).. unless someone can confirm that the missing slots are all DDs... it remain early to say that there are upgrade on sv74

sv12 have only 25 buses.. so no cut in capacity.. last change in timetable is 1st Jan (so how can sv47 which was introduced on 20 Dec) affect the loading of sv12 so fast?

Service 74 fleet upgrade: SG5330C is replacing SBS6142K perm on Sundays/PH, not sure if it is counted if it is not on weekdays.

SBS6244A is not perm 74 in the Deployments by Service page, but is still perm on the Citaro page.

Not true. 43 had a bus cut from 27 to 26 buses, but it was a SD NOT DD.

Cut 1 bus?

Most probably cut 1 split shift bus..

SMB3163D SG

Suspect 979 got SD>DD upgrade for AP, exchange with S1/TQ

carbikebus SG

Suspect 980 got an additional duty but cant confirm from which depot.

Hi mr carbikebus, yeah that is good. This time of the day is the most important to have DDs for sbs 3. Cheers. Thanks.

Hopefully there will be 14 SDs and 6 DDs with 2 running on A/P shift when Go Ahead takes over.Svc 2 and 12 need full DDs fleet.

Hi mr carbikebus, noted. Will wait for Q3 2016. Thanks.

I am hoping both svc 2 and 12 will be full DDs,518 add another AP DD,15 can skip Joo Chiat/Telok Kurau and use DDs,84 can ply sentul cres before hitting Punggol Rd End and the new service will start from Punggol-Tampines instead of Pasir Ris,Pasir Ris is already clusterfark,Waiting for accident to happen only.Lastly a new service from Changi Village.

sv 74 finally gets capacity upgrade. 3 SD -> 3 DD... this is first upgrade for 74 in the last 4 years :))

sv 12 on the other hand has 1 bus reduced. Back to fleet of 25 buses from 26 buses, further more bus reduced is DD. Maybe sv 47 effect.

sv 50 got SD->DD upgrade. Now operating with 14 DDs, 2 SDs. Good move given that the loading is consistently high + bi-directional high loading.

sv 85 has a fleet add.. SD though... now operating with 13 buses... 5 DDs, 8 SDs.

Based on the last 2 press release from LTA on BSEP improvement, no improvement in sv74/85 in the past 6 months.. so not sure where is the capacity increase on Sv74/85 came from..
