985 also got such thing......after plying as 985A, it then return to CCk as 985...from UPP BT TIMAH to CCK, since the load is mainly in this leg of the journey..and also coz 985 may arrive at Upp bt Timah Rd from Lor 1 Geylang wif full load and behind schedule... -
C1 for all bus stop C2 for all bus stop and C3 for all bus stop too. This Citybuzz services has poor ridership and not making money at all think should be withdrawn, longer frequency or extended route to serve the heartland???

The title is very misleading.
It should read as: "Services that start trips somewhere along the route". Bus captains refer to this as down-route. -
Citybuzz services routes are designed to ply within the city area only (or the fringe of it in the case of route C1).Originally posted by gorby107:C1 for all bus stop C2 for all bus stop and C3 for all bus stop too.

Sometimes, empty buses begin a new trip from YCK rd for svc 854 towards Bedok. (These buses just came out of the depot)

Why citybuzz lose to HIPPO?Originally posted by tranquilice:Citybuzz services routes are designed to ply within the city area only (or the fringe of it in the case of route C1). -
from a SBS Charter Brouchure, its said "We will send empty buses to crowded to assist the existing bus etc." something like that, so i get the idea of the topic there.. my friend also like to refer to them as "kosong bus".Originally posted by tranquilice:The title is very misleading.

maybe called "Trips Commencing Halfway "? -
Down-route is a more appropriate term.Originally posted by 105090:from a SBS Charter Brouchure, its said "We will send empty buses to crowded to assist the existing bus etc." something like that, so i get the idea of the topic there.. my friend also like to refer to them as "kosong bus".

anyway, 106 also starts at Holland Road towards BB in the morning -

I have never seen that before!Originally posted by weijie2749:number 15 too.started somewhere after kaki bukit..maybe it's from the depot in defu? -
hi. fyi, service 15 is not controlled by the depot situated in defu (tat's hougang depot or hgdep) but rather the depot at bedok north ave 4 (bedok north depot or bndep).Originally posted by weijie2749:number 15 too.started somewhere after kaki bukit..maybe it's from the depot in defu?
downroutes can happen anywhere so we won't know. but from timesheet experience, tis is likely to have occurred in the morning peak hours.
in the mornings, 2 empty trips of 15 will commence at bus stop opp eunos station from 6am to marine parade.
at the same time, 1 empty trip will also commence from parkway parade towards pasir ris before the first empty trip from eunos mrt reaches parkway parade. -
thanks

Short-working Trip (SWT):
Starts trip from interchange/terminal or somewhere along the route, ends trip at somewhere further down the route but not interchange/terminal unless otherwise stated. SWTs have bus stop plates along their routes to inform passengers of their existences.
Down-route:
Starts trip from somewhere along the route, ends trip at interchange/terminal. Down-routes do not have bus stop plates along their routes to inform passengers of their existences.
Hope this gives a clearer picture. -
One of the downroad is at 6.15 and the other i am not sure as i seen only the 6.15 one using Volvo MK4 Strider.Originally posted by ^tamago^:hi. fyi, service 15 is not controlled by the depot situated in defu (tat's hougang depot or hgdep) but rather the depot at bedok north ave 4 (bedok north depot or bndep).

i saw 111 did a down route on saturdae 23rd july
on da dae when there was da route diversion in da cbd area.....
sbs 9319 reached Ghim Moh at 1645 and then left for alexandra road empty...
started from Alexandra Rd to Ghim Moh at 5+pm....
no 111 seem to be returning from orchard to ghim moh....maybe that was the obvious reason it was deployed... -
At once, I boarded an empty 854 during PM peak at Hougang Ave 3, I was quite shocked upon seeing a bendy, turning from Lorong Ah Soo, into Hougang ave 3.

a sbst200 departs from holland drive (os bv community club) at 0740h (saw a sbst151 bus plate in that bus too).
and sbst92 buses that depart from bv terminal to north bv (rather than ghim moh road) in the morning hours. -
The other one is around 0623 hrs. I t will arrive at Marine Parade Rd at around 0639hrs...Originally posted by SBS9889U:One of the downroad is at 6.15 and the other i am not sure as i seen only the 6.15 one using Volvo MK4 Strider. -
