New Service Parks 409 - HarbourFront to Mount Faber Park
-
Maybe SBST should consider Having Service 65M Start from HarbourFront Interchange.
-
The roads there are kind of steep and winding. Wonder what kind of buses they will be using.
Would be interesting to see whether a fully loaded bus can make it up. All it takes is a corporate event up there. -
Volvo Mk IV DM3500 & Volvo Mk IIs, my guess. DDs may not be served on Svc 409, when possible, VO2x.Originally posted by yoongf:The roads there are kind of steep and winding. Wonder what kind of buses they will be using.

And also there are high chances of Volvo B10M Mark IV Strider being deployed on 409 just like 408.
-
well does 409 use Morse road to telok blangah road
-
They are likely to use Volvo B10M Mk IVs unless the passengers of Svc 409 requests for NAC buses.Originally posted by 5454:And also there are high chances of Volvo B10M Mark IV Strider being deployed on 409 just like 408. -
Unlikely to deploy NAC buses, because higher peak hr demand svs gets NAC busesOriginally posted by Apex-LW'21:They are likely to use Volvo B10M Mk IVs unless the passengers of Svc 409 requests for NAC buses. -
err.. i've not gone to Mount Faber Park since P3, which was in 1996. other than the cable car station, what else is there?

For me, I went hiking on Mt Faber in 1995.Originally posted by sinicker:err.. i've not gone to Mount Faber Park since P3, which was in 1996. other than the cable car station, what else is there? -
IMO,They will extract some AC buses from a less popular services and exchange them with NAC buses.The trend for SBST nowadays whenever introduced a new service
-
They will get AC buses for these svs, and long svs like 151 that has overloading trips during AM Peak are usual cassulties
-
Mount Faber is such a popular place, but have no buses for so many years....
still, the place is accessed by those who has private transport mostly -
wondering will SBST introduced another park service from harbourfront to telok blangah hill park hahaha
-
sbst took the poster off to add in the launch date. that's all. The first poster they put up did not provide the start date for the serviceOriginally posted by sbst275:Anyway, I think poster is off temp maybe there is an error in operations hrs -
I have a feeling that svc 93 will get more NACs.Originally posted by carbikebus:IMO,They will extract some AC buses from a less popular services and exchange them with NAC buses.The trend for SBST nowadays whenever introduced a new service

They have took in quite a number of NAC WA MK2Originally posted by iveco:I have a feeling that svc 93 will get more NACs.
Many ARBP svs have gotten NAC buses, like 96 -
Loking at its route, and winding routes, i daresay 2 Dennis Dart may be deployed for 409, pending demand patterns. 25 mins dont look possible for a complete journey..
and good thing it also operates on weekdays, but from 6pm..
i was also suprised 408 didnt use Darts but lets say one class-load of students going there one-shot, one dart cant take it.. -
Suggestion to SBST & SMRTB:
How about introducing services to:
- Upper Peirce Reservoir Park (off Old Upp Thomson Rd)
- Yishun Ave 1 (Lower Seletar Reservoir area)(this road runs straight across the sea/reservoir. Looks like there's a dam below the road? This road used to have a lot of road humps, but have since been removed. Know which location I'm referring to?) -
If they are going to deploy Darts,Then the speed limiter must be disengaged as there was many steep hills to climb which need a super-fast accelerationOriginally posted by 105090:Loking at its route, and winding routes, i daresay 2 Dennis Dart may be deployed for 409, pending demand patterns. 25 mins dont look possible for a complete journey..

The speed limiter on SBST buses don't affect the acceleration.Originally posted by carbikebus:If they are going to deploy Darts,Then the speed limiter must be disengaged as there was many steep hills to climb which need a super-fast acceleration -
Sounds good. I think the next Parks service will be operating from YCK to Upp Pearce.Originally posted by SBS3688Y:Suggestion to SBST & SMRTB:

Is it possible
Machretie
Can list out all the parks which the Bus never ply there -
Bt Timah Hill - No Need. Just take svc 67,75,170,171,173,184,852or961 and alight at the main road. Its only a short walk to the foothill entrance of Bt Timah Nature Reserve! (Please refer to TL Guide 2006; pg 74)Originally posted by gorby107:How about going to Bukit Timah Hill that area

MacRitchie Reservoir - No Need. Just take svc 74,93,157,165,852,855 and alight along Lornie Rd, or take a bus svc to that bus-stop with double parallel bus bays (adding svc 130,132,156,162,166,167,980), then walk into MacRitchie Reservoir! -
That's right. But I believe this route will be in higher demand at night, coz its more cooling over there and the scenery at night is really beautiful! (Its also a popular fishing spot over there.)Originally posted by sbst275:That Yishun one, is on the border with Seletar
