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...

During weekdays only. Sundays and PHs only 2-3 DDs.

Weekdays of course cannot use SDs unless many DDs breakdown and maintenance cannot finish on time.

SG5387P & SBS7618Z on 48 today. Both S shift from ARBP, both using desto today as EDS doesn't have 48 route details. According to BC from 5387, it is fleet add but not sure about the other slot.

AM peak trips at 7.25am and 7.50am from BNDEP.

BusAnalayzer SG

AM peak trips at 7.25am and 7.50am from BNDEP.

Thank you.

Do you have other timings as well? such as from BNV - BNDEP for AM and PM.

Sv 147 full fleet DD liao. Some siao lang here was right.

tot it was already full DD 1-2 months ago.. just no one go update only...

BusAnalayzer SG

sv 16 gets 2 SD fleet add because of heavy demand between Dakota MRT and Joo Chiat.

sv 24 gets 1 fleet add because of heavy demand between Upper Changi and Tanah Merah MRT.

sv 70 gets 1 DD fleet add on account of heavy demand between Guillemard and CBD during AM peak.

sv 72 gets 1 DD fleet cut, operating now with 41 buses instead of 42. Too many buses were added.

sv 80 gets 1 DD fleet add, due to high demand between Paya Lebar and Kovan. 7 sv 80 DDs do downroute from Aljunied MRT to Sengkang during PM peak, likewise do 80A during AM peak from Sengkang to Aljunied.

sv 89 now is full fleet DD, 2 SDs -> 2 DD. Good move given the high demand from Loyang to NE.

sv 90 gets one more SD->DD conversion, now operating with 6 DDs, 3 SDs. This is due to high demand between Macpherson and Toa Payoh.

sv 103 is now full fleet SD. Lost its only DD. I wonder why. Needs to be a strong enough reason, I guess because it should have at least decent loading between Jalan Kayu and Serangoon, if not within SAP.

sv 196 gets a SD fleet add. I guess this is to complement the DD loading towards CBD from both ends. Prefer weekday DDs on this service and weekends can be full fleet SD.

sv 198 joins the wagon of full fleet DDs with final 2 SD->2 DD conversion. This should be because of high demand from AYE Dover to Jurong West and Boon Lay to Jurong West towns during PM, reverse during AM.

Sbs6750E SG

I think sv 83 SD is only on weekends leh. Weekdays like full fleet DD. Goodness!

sv 196 gets a SD fleet add. I guess this is to complement the DD loading towards CBD from both ends. Prefer weekday DDs on this service and weekends can be full fleet SD.

A very good reason: Cutting costs at the expense of commuters.

But why does 83 have so many DDs? That's why I feel Serangoon services are horrible. Just look at 315. Endless fleet adds and no DDs. Probably because of frequent traffic jams at Serangoon North.
