service 240, 242 n 243 during peak hours......
-
since SLBP hv many SP DDs, do you think that 240, 242 and 243 should go all DD fleets during the crowded peak hours as i think that MB O405s is too small in capacity for peak hours in the 3 boon lay feeder services

If full DD fleet, then no need such high frequency.
There are 2 periods on 242 where 3 consecutive DDs are scheduled to leave BNL at 3-4min frequency. The first DD would be rather full. The 2nd, maybe all seated. The 3rd, only half seats filled.
But the problem is actually all the passengers chiong for the bus and BC must good boy and wait, cannot suddenly close door even if the next DD is queuing up behind him already.
(Actual timings: 18.07, 18.10, 18.13
Second round timing: 18.54, 18.57, 19.01) -
Chatted with a Bus Captain before and she mentioned that for 243G, DD would not be able to turn at a certain filter lane...I think the one near Jurong West Primary School...

but last time Lo2x all can turn what .
last time 243 FULL DD fleet leh
all the feeder 240 242 as well -
But LO2x are not 11m, 12m length buses . Maybe because the 11m, 12m buses the length is longer than the LO2x than they might have a hard time turning.Originally posted by SBS BUSES LOVER:its the one @ jurong west avenue 4 .

I took a svc 22 LO3x before when it turned at some speed, or rather high speed while the bus goes over a construction site. Worst still, theres still this little hump on the road. The bus hit the bump and guess what? As my dad was sitting with his knees pointing out of the row of seats due to very tight leg room, the sharp turn of the bus and the combination of the bump throw my dad off the seats.

You know why 291's DD was removed? It's not because it's demand drop. The main reason is because no one wants to go up to upper deck, most passengers oly take a few stops and alight. Therefore, they all cramp downstairs. What for putting DDs when they don't move up?

True,Only feeders like 240 are suitable as they ply long distances,This part bendy is the best choice but too bad SBST not interested!Originally posted by SBS 233 X:You know why 291's DD was removed?
