Pattern of Bus Deployments
-
Just to ask, is SBST allocating newer buses to higher demand svcs or there is no pattern of bus deployments?
-
u talking about B9TL or general?
perm allocation are made based on the profitability (of which ridership is a factor). the more profitable a route is, the more justifiable it is to allocate better buses.
another factor is the cost of maintenance. a higher cost of maintenance was one of the reasons why the scania L94UB was put on Express 518 since it can recoup the operating costs.
as for spares, it is up to the computer to allocate every morning. -

I am just talking about general. Maybe let me clarify myself. The allocation of dd to high demanded services plus there is no height restrictions or low trees in their routes.

However, what about the newer dds like B9TLs or Dennis Tridents or VSO, are the buses deployed to routes that are high in demand?

wat have u to say? -
But if you allocate it to another route and put an NAC MK2 on it instead (Originally posted by ^tamago^:another factor is the cost of maintenance. a higher cost of maintenance was one of the reasons why the scania L94UB was put on Express 518 since it can recoup the operating costs.
), you would still be able to recoup the operating costs since the costs saved on the MK2 can be transfered to backup the operating cost of the Scania on a non-profitable route.
Or if you want to be cheapskate, place it on the shift with the shortest payhour... -

no lah, the logic is something like this: it makes business sense if every of ur shop is making at least a profit. then confirm will have profit overall. -
But u also forgot if use NAC buses, the potential fare losses gets higher if the % of long dist travellers is highOriginally posted by stooper:But if you allocate it to another route and put an NAC MK2 on it instead ( ), you would still be able to recoup the operating costs since the costs saved on the MK2 can be transfered to backup the operating cost of the Scania on a non-profitable route.

Mr Smartypants, care to tell us how it is done then? I'm sure you don't know a single thing.Originally posted by sbst275:In reality the pic is not like this -

151 buses ends up orgasm, RSAF Open Hse 300 ppl waiting yet bus frequency at 30 mins
So can the system be trusted? -
Just to ask why the operating costs for Scania L94UB is higher? Is it because it consumes lots of diesel?Originally posted by stooper:But if you allocate it to another route and put an NAC MK2 on it instead ( ), you would still be able to recoup the operating costs since the costs saved on the MK2 can be transfered to backup the operating cost of the Scania on a non-profitable route.

Just to ask guys, based on what factors do SBST deploy those special buses on various svcs?
