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...

SBS8676Z SG

980 and 859 no need la. 980 already got 166 and 859 aint that crowded. Perhaps 883 might be the next one later

859 used to have almost full bendy fleet during the 2000 era if I am not wrong. Fleet downsize to full fleet A22s in 2012, not sure to facilitate WAB implementation or its demand really dropped.

For 980, I will hope that SMRT implement 1-2 DDs on Sunday additional PM duties as well as weekday peak hours. Since it does deploy bendies once in a while.

BusAnalayzer SG

Wait till 117 enters Canberra soon and they would đ what I đ

Is 117 going to enter Canberra? If yes, this is what they should have done in first place before introducing 883.

Anyway, expect high loading on 883 from Q4 this year.

BusAnalayzer SG

980 needs a bump for its frequency.

167 also.

however lets check the loading like.

859 no need DD yet.

980 loading is okay. Same with 167 and 859. None of them really need DDs.

SMB145B SG

980 loading is okay. Same with 167 and 859. None of them really need DDs.

167 and 980 can have 1 or 2 buses with full to the door. DD could draw from 981 during non-ops or other AMDEP svcs. But anyway, the next rigid on either service will clear the load.

SMB145B SG

Did 166 get downgrades? KUBs appearing as often.

BusAnalayzer SG

As far as possible,I hope these should be (IMO) changes for the services in Yishun:

Svc 800 (Rigids) - 15 buses
Svc 803 (Rigids) - 7 Buses
Svc 804 (DDs & Rigids) - 26 buses (10 DDs - X-over between Svc 811/850E)
Svc 805 (Rigids) - 7 Buses
Svc 806 (DDs & Rigids) - 20 buses (5 DDs - X-over to Svc 850E)
Svc 811 (DDs & Rigids) - 24 buses (10 DDs - X over between Svc 804/850E)
Svc 812 (Rigids) - 18 buses (I think sharp drop aft Svc 805 and Svc 103 intro)
Svc 850E (DDs) - 5 buses (X-over from Svc 804/811) Add one more timing if possible
Svc 851 (DDs & Rigids) - 26 buses (10 DDs - Hope stays in the service as perms)
Svc 852 (Rigids) - 12 buses
Svc 860/860A (DDs & Rigids) - 25 buses (10 DDs)

Isn't the number of buses too excessive???

For me it would be:

800 - 10 SDs

803 - 6 SDs

804 - 5 DDs, 5 SDs (alternating)

805 - 4 DDs, 3 SDs

806 - 10 DDs, 3 SDs

811 - 12 DDs, 6 SDs

812 - 12 SDs

860 - 12 DDs, 4 SDs

SMB1368T SG

Yes, but ply the new bus stops in Canberra which 3004X mentioned. Its supposed to supplement 883 in the estate after all

carbikebus SG

I think in future 117 just use PGL way to Seletar North Link instead of TPE

167 & 980 do need peak hours DDs.980 can deploy 4 DDs during weekend afternoon...859 no need DD Unless extend to KPTH

TPS Timothy Mok SG

As far as possible,I hope these should be (IMO) changes for the services in Yishun:

800 - 1 double decker, 9 single deckers

803 - 5 single deckers

804 - 3 bendies, 6 DDs, 2 single deckers (Bendy X-over to Service 24)

805 - 6 single deckers

806 - 12 double deckers (Full DD)

811 - 18 double deckers (Full DD)

812 - 8 double deckers, 6 single deckers

851 - 10 double deckers, 16 single deckers

852 - 16 single deckers

860 - 2 single deckers, 12 double deckers

carbikebus SG

Aiya,Let SBST handle those svc.SMRT should focus more of their buses and their service.A95 also in bad state no need to talk about their A22.

Anyway SMRT will sell 8 bendies to SBST (Phase 1) when Seletar Package is operational, thus lowering it to 32.

As much as I want to believe it's not another nonsense coming from you, we all know what's going to happen.

BusAnalayzer SG

Woodlands feeders seem to have got more buses added. I think 900, 903 got an extra NWAB bendy each. 901 spammed with one more A22.

307 back to 14 buses from 17 buses. 17 buses was way too much for 307.

BusAnalayzer SG

184 downgrade bendy -> SD. Not a good move.

SMB145B SG

184 downgrade bendy -> SD. Not a good move.

184 should have zero rigids and some DD, majority bendies till a later time. thereafter should be full fleet DD.

bus555 SG

184 should have zero rigids and some DD

Same for 129

carbikebus SG

184 should have zero rigids and some DD, majority bendies till a later time. thereafter should be full fleet DD.

Weekdays 184 should be full DD,Weekends can use 10 DD / 4 SD

Weekdays 129 should be 12 DD / 4 SD,Weekends can use 50/50

BusAnalayzer SG

Same for 129

Easy to implement. Make 127 full fleet SD and move those DDs to 129.

Waynechew1003 SG

Easy to implement. Make 127 full fleet SD and move those DDs to 129.

127 weekdays 2 DD others SD (High demand during morning peak hours from Blk 742A > tampines int)

But weekends can use full SD. Super super low demand

Change to:

Freq: 8 -12 mins (peak hr)

Freq: 20 - 30 mins (Off-peak and weekends)

129 fleet can still remain maybe additional DD during peak hours as the demand come from students travelling from TP - Bartley / Toa Payoh or Toa payoh / bartley > TP

Weekends 70% SD and 30% DD demand abit low

Change to:

Freq: 7 -9 mins (Peak hr)

Freq: 10 -15 mins (off-peak and weekends)

What happened to Service 171's loading?
