Yes it is,Even 43M is full DDs which i find it quite useless..I was early for 7 mins at Punggol using SDs and late for 4 mins using DDs for 43M.

how come so big diff? pax load still aboit the same?

With 43 and 43M running alongside each other, they cannibalise each other's loadings.

SBS3004X SG

43M should reduce DDs. And please don't deploy those crappy SBS33xx DDs on any bus service.

SMB3130Z SG

if don't deploy, then where do you put these resources? sleep in the depot till end of lifespan? as much as you may not like it, please think it logically.

Before GA take over , you were complaining Abt the SD on 43/43M. Now deploy full fleet DDs on 43/43M , you also not happy. Then what do you wan actually?

Sv972 and Sv190 crowds back due to DTL down this morning 10/4

43 now running with 21 DDs and 43M with 5 DDs and occasionally get 1 SD..

I do agree 43M doesn't need full DDs as the timings is in between S43..Can exchange with two S3 SDs though.

carbikebus SG

Usually when there is 43M SD,At most its only 10 standees and most would alight for 3-4 stops unlike S43.

Usually,Pax will wait for S43 if 43M using SD and S43 would directly bring you to Sgoon MRT faster from YCK Rd/Buangkok Green.Now S43 and S43M got seperated timecard unlike previously where you either do 43/43M or 43M/43 first.

Now its like S43,S43,S43M,S43,S43,S43M

Agree 43 needs to be full fleet DD, 43M should be full fleet SD as it is just a supplementing service in case 43 gets delayed along its route.

I think GA has a lot of DDs so don't know where to deploy. On contrary, TT didn't get so many because they didnt really change the ratio of DDs on previous SBS services - kept almost same.

Yea,Even 106 which is supposed a full DD fleets still have 4-5 SDs everyday.In the end just deploy those E500s on J East svc.43M can do well with 4 SDs and 2 DDs considered it already separated from S43 roster.

No bunching between 43 and 43M

carbikebus SG

No bunching between 43 and 43M

You think so easy?The purpose of deploy 43M 3 mins after 43 departure is to support the loads from Sengkang-Buangkok/YCK/Sgoon MRT.

Incoming buses:

In order of loading

182 (around 100 pax per bus)

99 (few DDs had around 70-80 pax)

258 (around 40-45 pax)

253, 254, 255, 256, 257 (all come empty or with <5 pax)

BusAnalayzer SG

Loading on sv 254 (6.59 - 8.03)

6.59 - 92 pax

7.05 - 89 pax (+06m)

7.11 - 85 pax (+06m)

7.18 - 109 pax (+07m)

7.26 - 122 pax (+08m)

7.32 - 121 pax (+06m)

7.40 - 119 pax (+08m)

7.46 - 97 pax (+06m)

7.54 - 102 pax (+08m)

8.03 - 103 pax (+09m)

* Average frequency: 06-08m.

* Average loading per bus: 104 pax per bus

* 254 loading in PM is not as high but I guess because it is spread over longer hours but AM almost every bus was +100 pax.

* Would be good to have 2 crossover DDs from other service to alleviate the peak hour loading (don't need fleet add as it will be only AM need from 06.30-08.30)
