Kaki Bukit Road 6

Bartley Road East and back (looping point)

Advantages:

- Connects Tanjong Rhu to Marine Parade (a connection that has been missing for years)

- 15 can be cut short to Eunos with majority DD fleet

- Connects new MRT station of UBI to UBI, Kaki Bukit north industrial estates

- sv 11 gets better utilized due to extension as sv 150 and #11 can be used for another route.

Con

- Connection to Marine Crescent/Terrace removed as route would become winding (alternate option of sv 13 to Eunos MRT still exists).

No need to think so much,Just make 150 ply parkway parade after Telok Kurau and remove S15 from Telok Kurau and straightaway loop at MP..Can utilise a few DDs too.

979M demand not very good, happened to be at Opp Blk 765 today at 7am and 1.30pm, where the school is nearby..

imo during peak hours observe better, not many students from that school would go to BP from there

carbikebus SG

A lot of them transfer to KJ..

Actually can transfer 40 OC500LE to Wldep/Wlbp while the remaining with Kjdep and Amdep.Citaros can stay with Amdep or even with Kjdep.

Lol peak hour people rather not wait 30 mins, but i see when i have time to observe peak hour loading

Dunno how WLDEP will maintain them though..

Not exactly sure. I know the DD reach Loyang Ave towards Yishun at 0630 though. It is the bus after this DD.

Sbs6750E SG

I cannot understand something.
Why does sv 85 have more DDs than sv 39 when sv 39’s loading is, I think, >> sv 85’s?
I know sv 85 has petential to have high loading in future when occupancy in Sengkang West has rissen.
For the time being, deploying the DDs to other needy services, such as sv 43, which have seen higher loading after the removal of sv 76 from Marine Parade, would be a better decision.

Hi mr ButIAmAToilet, thanks for the info.

Hi mr sbs6750E, that time before sbs 85 got DDs, they announce that sengkang west MP Dr Lam lobbied hard for it. At that time, there was only sbs 85 along that sector and it was single deck some more. The single deck sbs 85 was very crowded during peak hours, being the only service. So DDs for sbs 85 was given. The MP continued to lobby for more bus services for his estate and LTA provides for another new service sbs 102 and also opened kupang LRT station for revenue service. Cheers. Thanks.

Maybe u should go see the loading of sv85 between 5pm n 6pm from yishun.

Let me just say that there is no political intervention for the introduction of Double-Deckers on 85.

Otherwise you would've seen posters all around saying 85 got fleet upgrade, as per usual for PAP people.

carbikebus SG

103 really need 4 split shift DDs..The loadings during peak hours is terrible.Off peak single decker can manage well.

Hi mr sbs2656X, noted for your comments. However the guy Facebook page at that time did mention request for DDs. Cheers. Thanks.
