-
eh no one mention 335 n 502 for sbs?? seen it often at jurong area 335 kinda deserted unless rain or something... 502 donno but passing through jurong west very little ppl.... maybe more at orchard or something
-
They said that those going to schools or so, the most is 60%... It's best not to take the article to the extent of believing it totallyOriginally posted by tanjun:Definition of high loads? >80% of the max pax for a bus?
If I do not rmb wrongly, there is one article published by The Straits Times quite some time ago that in average, the buses are less than 30% filled.
If this is true, I can imagine the percentage of ppl in Singapore using cars. -
Cannot beat 179 lah...Originally posted by SBS9176T:I have seen 5 190s (4 bendy and 1 rigid) bunch together before.
I've seen 6 DD buses bunch together twice... 
When the normal timetable returns, the most severe bunching always happens to the buses leaving from 18.19 to 18.31. 179's frequency at that period ranges from 2 to 3 mins, and it's the final round for some of the BCs so they chiong all the way. During that time, all the 4 svcs leaving that berth at BNL will have buses departing... 178, 179, 180, 182. Once, there were 3 LO3x bunching up at the BNL berth, waiting to board because the bloody 180 bendies were blocking up the way as usual, so the buses queued up to the 243G berth area.
So the buses start to bunch even before departure! -
How bout service 246?
Everytime i see it, it seems to be empty or have only a few people sitting inside. -

Least ridership feeder: 284
Least ridership trunk: 882 -
Sv 922 sometimes low also , for trunk can include 825 too.Originally posted by stituss:My guess:

Agree with you on 825. Think 825 has even lower ridership than 882.Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:Sv 922 sometimes low also , for trunk can include 825 too.
For trunk, quite unlikely 922 is lower because the route is longer than 284. One common thing between these two services: operated with one bus only. -
284 i think got 2 buses right if im not wrong?Originally posted by stituss:Agree with you on 825. Think 825 has even lower ridership than 882.

922 , yeah , only 1 bus ... and also the 30 min freq -
Hmmm.. Low ridership on 284 ? This would goes to shwo that you have not taken 284 before. Just because of the short route, doesnt mean that the ridership is low. This is the same for 354.Originally posted by stituss:My guess:

To make it more specified:
What is the lowest ridership on SMRTB Trunk and Feeder svc?
What is the lowest ridership on SBST Trunk and Feeder svc?
My guess:
SMRTB: No idea
SBST: 103W, 317 (Always never see a moderate no. of ppl in bus) -
103W may seems useless at west camp, but its the only bus for the people at Seletar Airport.. it even operates till 11pm on sundays.Originally posted by ngjy22:SMRTB: No idea
SBST: 103W, 317 (Always never see a moderate no. of ppl in bus)
the morning 8am trips are most crowded -
I think 27 has one of the highest ridership everyday..It is nearly jammed packed everyday..31 also..

922 , yeah , only 1 bus ... and also the 30 min freq 922 Sometimes the only person on board the bus is the BC only. Can see from my hse . -
Svc. 911 is also the best one during rainy days ----- The students can fill up any type of bus (bendy or rigid) when it comes.

Common when at Night especially , or last busOriginally posted by Scania N113CRB luver: 922 Sometimes the only person on board the bus is the BC only. Can see from my hse . -
This would be the 'best' svc to record the sounds! Sure don't have other 'interrupting' sounds.Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver: 922 Sometimes the only person on board the bus is the BC only. Can see from my hse . -
TIB967T best.Originally posted by ngjy22:This would be the 'best' svc to record the sounds! Sure don't have other 'interrupting' sounds. 
Try not to board Hispano Mercs. The aircon noise will 'spoil' the engine recording. VOlgren merc the aircon noise level is quite low, so try TIB967T if you want to record sounds.

Service7...

Nah, Service 7 can get crowded at Orchard due to the fact for the Ulu Pandan people this is the only bus to Orchard!Originally posted by patdog112:Service7...
I think 922 isnt that bad but still empty. What about 45? -
882 isnt that empty. On School Holidays, Saturdays and sundays the bus can be seen healthily packed, (perhaps due to the bad frequency).
-
What I think:
Lowest ridership for SMRT: 922?
Lowest ridership for SBST: 11? when there is no event
Highest ridership for SMRT: 190? pretty obvious. off-peak can also be very packed
Highest ridership for SBST: 65? 147?
Wondering if the demand for 65 will drop after 5 is launch.

Sv 65 ridership drop? Once I took SBS2611A from Jln Eunos and at Ubi, all the workers there boarded the bus. Best part - when they wanted to alight at Jln Besar, the BC did not hear the bell and continued drivingOriginally posted by droco:What I think:

Wondering if the demand for 65 will drop after 5 is launch. , then the driver did not stop at the next bus stop as well , so the workers pressed the bell as many times as possible and finally the driver stopped. So conclusion - As Sv 5 does not pass through Ubi an MacPherson Est., Sv 65 is still the only connector to the city from those places. Actually, SBS2611A was not crowded from Tampines all the way to Ubi -
45 has quite a full seating load during non-peak hours as well ... mainly due to their 20 minutes frequency.Originally posted by TIB433S:Nah, Service 7 can get crowded at Orchard due to the fact for the Ulu Pandan people this is the only bus to Orchard!

after NEL opened, 65 frequency seems to be worsening.. 15 mins.. buses always full at orchard
dosent helps that its the only bus from bendemeer/ jln besar/ bencoolen to orchard area and vice versa.
for 45, peak hours near full seating but off peak only a handful
