Highest demand SMRT services

Which SMRT services do you think have the highest demand?
Personally I think is 187 as 187 seems to be heavy loaded everytime. -
This question is very subjective...Originally posted by ah-soh:Which SMRT services do you think have the highest demand?
Personally I think is 187 as 187 seems to be heavy loaded everytime.
but actually, it is 190.
during peak hours at 0700-0800
at least 7-8 190 from CCK
at least 2-3 190A from CCK
at least 5 190 from BP down route...
if you were to travel north along Woodlands Rd, you will see down routes 190 parking at the bus stops waitin to go off into operation...
also, if you not at around 0815 onwards, you can see many off service 190s goin back to the depot...
in the peak hours, one can see 4 190s within 10 minutes to meet the demand. Maximum i saw was 7 within 10 minutes....
so 187 is nothing compared to 190.
187 from 0645 till 0730 at bb ctrl
0650 - 12 metre/bendy slot (usually TIb 570d or Tib 1064s) but nowadays 570d
0655 - 12metre (usually tib 674s or Nissans)
0710 - 12 metre (usually mb0405)
0710 onwards till 0735....2more 12 metres + 1 bendy
thats my experience...
as you can see...more 12 metres than bendies...
not even enough to compare with 190 -
190...
At times see the Raffles Town Club bus stop, they should start trips from there -
yep I tried taking 190 on the evening peak before... about 4 buses in 8 mins...the first 3 were all full...all bendyOriginally posted by sbst275:190...

Since i take Service 190 almost everyday , and i agree that 190 has the highest load as i always notice packed ''sardines'' even on bendies. Same goes 190A in the AM Peak.Originally posted by finoq:yep I tried taking 190 on the evening peak before... about 4 buses in 8 mins...the first 3 were all full...all bendy -
Get rid of the SDs from 190

i have a feeling that with sbs and smrt combined 190 is the highest demand svc in sgOriginally posted by Volvo Olympian:Since i take Service 190 almost everyday , and i agree that 190 has the highest load as i always notice packed ''sardines'' even on bendies. Same goes 190A in the AM Peak. -

Cos the west siders prefer taking the bus to town rather than the MRT.
It takes 25min to Orchard Rd..rather than train which takes at least 40mins... thats why we commuters need options and choices
btw....
985 bendy habit cameo re-appears again! yay! -
hey how'ya know, I live in west and I really do prefer buses than MRT.
-
definitely 190....I dun take it but it is ALWAYS packed despite the high frequency.
-
No i didnt know ur a west sider...but oh well... at least we know how to save time...Originally posted by finoq:hey how'ya know, I live in west and I really do prefer buses than MRT.
even majority non-bus enthusiast hop on the bus to town from the west rather than the MRT....
so its official
190 is hot!
weekday mornin pack
weekend mornin pack
woohoo
try it if you dont believe...
its as hot as 170 during the holiday season -
Hmm , seems that a lot of 190 supporters here
including me too
In fact i been on 190 almost everyday and i see it is the highest demand of all....
Thats great !!!
But somehow if only 190 is fully bendy fleet , then would be better .... -
Sv 190... But why SMRT Bus made a loss of $500K?
-
Get rid of Sv. 190's SDs? I'm afraid that will be effectively a withdrawal of the route cos the Sv. 190 fleet is full single-deck. You're really talking gibberish, sbst275.Originally posted by sbst275:Get rid of the SDs from 190 -
Sv902 ridership very good ?
-
$500K loss from 190 itself? Maybe because too packed already the bus, want to take more passenger at bus stop also cannot. Then people fed up, take other services...Originally posted by sbst275:Sv 190... But why SMRT Bus made a loss of $500K?
Don't forget the feeder services in the west like 242...Originally posted by kengkia:i have a feeling that with sbs and smrt combined 190 is the highest demand svc in sg 179 too... Both have schelduled 1min frequencies (with 179 being fully DD except 3 buses)... -
but it seem like SV190 is packed in one direction only during peak hours right? especially in the morning...
-
Yea...u have a point.... but look...its only the morning peak (NBR to CCK)Originally posted by lemon1974:but it seem like SV190 is packed in one direction only during peak hours right? especially in the morning...
but the rest of the day, 190 is damn well utilised by the public...
even the afternoon and night period...
both direction is pack! thats the cool part -

$500K for entire SMRT Buses
Can... 190 can remain with 1/3 SDs instead of 100% bendies, and wait to receive the $100,000 fine from PTC -
service 190 is always hot on fire
