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...

Remember there's 300/190,302/190,180/190,925/190 and a few from other service too..

S58 always stuck in jams leh,To be fair weekdays should just go for between 6-13 mins and Weekends from 9-16 mins leh.

yup the above is reasonable and weekend 15 mins. should reduce freq to that first before converting SD to DD

Adding DDs will do. No need upgrade.

Till now, Service 913 still running with SDs eventhough there are 2 BTOs built in Marsiling area, creating bus bunching and inconvenience especially during AM Peak ...

Till now, Service 913 still running with SD eventhough there's 2 BTOs built in Marsiling area ... Please be full HC ...

LTA should return back those 2 Sv 176 A24 back to 913..

It's very saddening to see those 2 A24 slots downsizing to 2 A22s..

In fact,Those 5 A24s should be deployed for Intratown 911/912/913 and feeder 903.

Next year if SMRT lose part of Yishun,Then those A24s should be transfer to Wldep.

Next I am expecting 184 to become WAB

with 14 A22s, 2 A24s, 4 NWAB

(14 SDs, 6 Bendies) from today's (4 SDs, 12 Bendies).

Typical SMRT style that they deployed on all feeders/intra-towns and 962/983.

They might end up going to 176

I don't mind going 858 but not 176 which clear cut can use double deckers.

858 too many commuters rely on it going Airport from TPE bus stop,Either LTA have to introduce a new compliment service from TPE-Airport sector or make the frequencies haywire until pax don't favour 858 anymore.

858 is okay. No one will contest. It needs full fleet bendy IMO with 25 bendies.

Should ask that 76 planner to do something about 858 leh..Always i see commuters of 26/34 alight at TPE to take 858.

969 also another joke,For a service running at 60-65 mins per direction,They deploy 28-29 buses excluding crossovers resulting in BCs crawling at 35-45kmh on highways..Although I don't really like GA,But again their planning is much better than SMRT hands down.

carbikebus SG

965 from 12,13,15,16 to 18-19 buses also resulted BCs crawling at TPE and Sengkang..Some even stay at bus stops with pax on board,What the heck is this?972 another joker...963 now also running very slow with added buses.

That is why SMRT should focus on running trains and not do any bus business. They should get their primary train business in good order first before they diversify.

Train also got so many problem la my friend.Anyone can do business with proper plannings and mind you they are not a newbird in Singapore.I don't really understand why SBST and SMRT BCs too afraid of the BOCC and DDU?Passenger safety and comfort is more priority than those stupid regulations..It ain't easy driving in SG roads for a start and why make yourself more stressful?

I think both GA/SMRT are not doing a good job. GA deploying all DDs on 83/85 to me is such a waste.

Agree on your point on 969. It is because they still deploy so many rigids for a service that should be strictly full fleet DD.

Its LTA that want 83 and 119 to have more DDs for your info..If I'm driving one of these service,I purposely take a SD and prove to them,Even 43M i dare to use SD..I don't give a hoot nowadays..Even BOCC instructed me not to speed i also speed when needed..Peak hours with many pax going to work you expect us to stop at bus stops for 4 mins?We are European based company not SBST/SMRT..Someone need to turn the table.

AntiDennisLance SG

Yes exactly their own house ancestral business for train also mismanaged, they shud get that in order first. They should not bid for anymore bus packages and just focus on getting their train business right first.

carbikebus SG

Don't be biased my friend,They can still operate bus..Give them Loyang,Woodlands and Serangoon-Eunos package..CCK/BPJ give to SBST.

Welcome to Singapore, where people pressure you for something which is actually not hard at all (like the DDU). I have been in those situations and its disgusting
