133 a goodwill route? Its area of service includes Ang Mo Kio as well. It basically provides Ang Mo Kio a direct connection with Bendemeer and Lavender areas.Originally posted by 105090:dont forget sv147 is a goodwill service. along with 133, it was supposed to be chopped but SBS decided to retain it for the goodwill of HG residents.. plans were like HG to S'goon Int.. or Clementi to Chinatown/Marina Ctr (loop)
147 duplicates from S'goon to Outram Park..
extension of sv107 to HG doent make sense.. SBS up to something, but then 100 and 107 almost duplicates each other except aljunied,geylang vs kallang bahru areas
198 also almost got the chop back in the early 1990s. Svc 2 is another goodwill route. Duplicate EWL from Tanah Merah all the way down to the city. It could have been cut short to Eunos instead. -
You forgot Dhoby Ghaut. 147 doesn't go anywhere near Orchard Rd.Originally posted by bendy2003:haha, try 147 which duplicates all but punggol, seng kang, kovan and harbourfront mrt stations.... -

After RP moves to WOODLANDS, a new school is proposed to take over the bldg....rumoured to be a school like the UWC...foreign students...dats wat i was told from the school..so ridership will not drop...do note that rp is not just the building that u see...do not be deceived, there is a hidden Phoenix Park Campus...uphill...u wont be able to see it...i guez....there is a lot of students dere...including me....haha...111 do deserve 95% VolvoO3..believe me....students had even tried standing on da 2nd floor of da VolvoO3Originally posted by 105090:ridership on 111 and 132 may drop after RP move to woodlands in 1 or 2 yrs time... -
I say it is Sv 107 especially packed on peak hours as it is only the service plying between Hougang and Shenton Way and last time there is 82 and 97 before the NEL

Contrary to this claim, the opening of the North-east line had not led to a drop in ridership on NEL-duplicating services. In the short time frame where both services existed, I continued to see the usual crowd of commuters on the services.Originally posted by 105090:most NEL sector services affected by the rationalisation had seen drastic falls inridership..like 82 97 103 106 and 111.. sv107 between HG and S'goon meaningless as it serves just another link to Kovan MRT..
actually, for "Polytechnic" svcs like 69, 74, the svcs wont really be profitable as most passengers may be students paying concession or on monthly concession pass..
Moreover, there was no study conducted to examine the impact of the inauguration of the NEL upon these services: the rationalisation was planned even before NEL was opened. -
Agreed....the withdrawal are juz some measures to ensure that prople will take NEL.....EW line oso got duplication but still survive.Originally posted by pkchukiss:Contrary to this claim, the opening of the North-east line had not led to a drop in ridership on NEL-duplicating services.

If Svc 2 was allowed to duplicate EWL from Tanah Merah to CBD, I don't see why 106 could not replace 147 between Serangoon Ctr and Hougang Int, while the latter becoems a Clementi-Suntec loop service.

Service 2 does not reslly dupiclacte MRT in Direction 1 .

Reason is Simple.. 106's Demand is Far MORE LESS than 147's ULTRA HIGH demand...Originally posted by iveco:If Svc 2 was allowed to duplicate EWL from Tanah Merah to CBD, I don't see why 106 could not replace 147 between Serangoon Ctr and Hougang Int, while the latter becoems a Clementi-Suntec loop service. -
I tell you something LEE JZ,Those are the services which do have excess of buses unlike othersOriginally posted by leeJZ:S8, S9, S27, S65, S74, S168 not profitable?? Quite a surprise as all these services have good loads the whole week.

147 goes to Prinsep Street, walking dist from dhoby gaut.. still, 147 have very good loads whole day -
sv85 501 502 511 512 got their freq increased from 5-10 mins to 15-25 mins after NEL opened.. i took sv85 on its last operation day along peace centre, and due to the longwaiting time, the bus was very crowded.. 4 or 5 trips/hour.. sure will be full..Originally posted by pkchukiss:Contrary to this claim, the opening of the North-east line had not led to a drop in ridership on NEL-duplicating services.
