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...

5 - SD fleet add. I don't know why they don't do more SD->DD upgrades for svc 5 when it has such high loading

16 - 2 fleet add (SDs) to meet the high demand between Dunman and Dakota

32 - 1 SD fleet add to boost frequency

35 - 1 more SD -> DD upgrade. Now operating with 9 DDs, 2 SDs.

64 - SD fleet add, now operating with 13 buses. Frequency boost

93 - SD fleet add. Frequency boost.

124 - SD fleet add. Frequency boost.

131 - SD fleet add. Frequency boost.

157 - 2 SD fleet add to meet demand between Beauty World and Boon Lay. Improved frequency.

Does SBST have shortage of DDs? Except for svc 35 all have been SD fleet adds + 116/109 also got SD fleet add recently. Hardly any SD->DD upgrades. Some of them are SD services, but even for DD worthy services SDs have been deployed (5/109) and no SD->DD upgrade for few services.

Because SBST doesn't blatantly add double decker buses for no reason.They rather use it as spare so that other DD svc also can use.

S22 - Sat Sun full SD Fleet.
S28 - Sat Sun more SD replace DD.
S293 - Sat Sun - In view of S28 more SD replace DD, a few SD upgrade to DD?

Any other downgrades?

No what. I took 22 and 87 and its double decker.

No wonder 89 still keeps 2 Citaros only on weekends.

I saw a couple of DD on S22 just now.

S89 mainly use KUBs and Citaros alongside a few DDs on Sundays

143 have many DDs and the the bus Frequency increase and so is passsenger taking the 143 service. Compare to 143 under sbst. wait too long under sbst and most of the time in weekend SD come and not many people taking. Mean if the bus frequency improve even the service is run parallel with MRT people still taking it as more bus arrivle less than 10 min. no more 30min waiting time that under sbst

wsy1234 SG

if toa payoh can have more service not under sbst control will be better.

951E seems to have 3 DD + 1/2 Bendy in the AM fleet, compared to 2/3 DD and rest SD.

TIB 585L SG

3524X 3525T 3612A (all perm BC since pre-BCM days)

951E buses all observed to have 0 crossover to any other svc before doing PM peak. So their drivers worked 3h per day? Didnt see them working on wkends

I think WT BC that drive all these E service..

I think at least got one DD slot crossover to 960 and 961..

TIB 585L SG

I think WT BC that drive all these E service..

Personally never see them driving feeders or other trunks or any other svc on weekends. I saw everytime they leave depot go to start point then do one trip, Off svc already. AM n PM.

TIB 585L SG

Shld be 3612A, PM peak only 2 DDs. The 1st 2 (3524 n 3525)

Sbs6750E SG

S89 mainly use KUBs and Citaros alongside a few DDs on Sundays

Sometimes 2797Y on 89 also, SDs mostly from sv 100/159. Sv 87 also majority SD during Sundays/PHs. Sv 109 also.

SMB42P SG

301 has 6 buses I guess. In future, 301 and 983 should cover most of ex-300 route and should get more buses. 300 already feel like a redundant service.

Means there was a AP fleet add?

67 has been a major victim of capacity downgrade on account of DTL2.

42 buses -> 39 buses

12 SDs -> 17 SDs

30 HCs -> 21 HCs

This is because the loading between Little India and BPJ is really poor. But on contrary, loading between Little India and Tampines is super high.

So the two unequivocal loading sectors is creating inconvenience to the high loading sector with rigids coming in this area during peak hours when it should be full fleet bendy/DDs.

This is because the MRT lines are quite more reliable now. Weekends seldom people taking. Even then I took 67 is now SD, sometimes DD.

You also see Tampines residents on service 23 and not on service 67.

Not just buey tahan route.

Your first point is ok. Tampines resident take 23 for sure, but those along Eunos-Aljunied-Geylang take 67 to Little India and also heavy load from Chai Chee to Bedok Reservoir (alt: 28).

Just merge 67 (west) and 960 alr..

Will bus 100/135 get double decks after the upper aljunied road road alignment?
