SV 232 load not consider too good. Can fill up the seats only most of the time.
All SBST services at YCK Terminal are cashcow. Can add in CT 8 as well?
every morn about 635 from toa payoh int...SBS274C...healthy load for 232..sometimes to the door...but only this bus...PM peak esp right after pei chun dismissal...friday afternoons also...first toa payoh sec and pei chun dismissal about the same time on fridays and cause huge traffic on feeder 232Originally posted by SBS9889U:Sv232 loads are good between Braddell and Toa Payoh Lor 7 during peak, school dismissal time(Pei chun public sch) and early morning where there will be quite some standees.
Partially due to its frequencyOriginally posted by SBS9888Y:sv.235 has healthy loads between 1700-1930 from toa payoh int - lor 5 toa payoh
Yeah , that is becos ppl are lazy to walk 1 big round just to wait for 157 , unlike the old Int , if i remember correctly is just beside.Originally posted by stooper:157 now not so much...Ever since the temp interchange open, everyone go queue at 198. 157's queue is much much shorter now.
But they still have 1/3 rigid and 2/3 bendies... Under SBS was 98% DDOriginally posted by muziq bus:you are right to say 190 is a megacashcow...
i mean, where else can you see at least 15(0r more) buses
in one hour(0700-0800)
if you travel to WDL Rd in the morning, you would be able to see at least 4 190 bendies waiting to start downroute from Bukit Panjang itself.
not to mention evening peak, bendies would be queueing at NBR waiting to be released every 3-4 mins.
this is the only service that SMRT "tries" to satisfy...
try it.

Yes but exclude Wednesdays.. Especially during rainy days.. Just try queueing up for Service 902 during a rainy day after 8:10am and you can feel it!!Originally posted by TIB1049L:Dunno 902 oso considered as cashcow or not
But sometimes I take from there, I am the only one boardingOriginally posted by carbikebus:Harbourfront Terminal:65
alas, if 179 VS 190, 190 still wins.Originally posted by stooper:179...![]()
At least 30 buses will depart in 60min in AM peak (from around 8am-9.30am).
In PM peak, if you go at the right time, you'll see 5 DDs parked on the 199 route at Nanyang Crescent waiting for down trip.
Also 242,
where at least 25 buses will return to BNL in 1 hour. (around 6am-7.30am)
got... once or twice only... very rare occurance.... 12m bus of course... reason being 2 bendies were in front of the 12m busOriginally posted by 105090:alas, if 179 VS 190, 190 still wins.
190 is a long haul route connecting north west to the city.
179 is short haul and dedicated service. overall it has better frequency though, but not at night. some more the bulk of pax only boards at boon lay interchange (from BNL direction)
anyone saw any city bound 190 with no standing pax during peak hours before?
This is what I saw for 190 heading to CCK Int: (time 6.45pm; place Orchard Stn)Originally posted by service_238:got... once or twice only... very rare occurance.... 12m bus of course... reason being 2 bendies were in front of the 12m bus
Thats your lucky day of DAF on 190Originally posted by SBS9806J:This is what I saw for 190 heading to CCK Int: (time 6.45pm; place Orchard Stn)
1st 190 (Bendy): Packed almost to the door
2nd 190 (Bendy): Same as above
3rd 190 (Bendy): Most seated, only a few standing
4th 190 (DAF): 3 quarters of the seats taken, no one standing
Of course, they all came together![]()
they do... but they usually deploy more rigid buses on direction 1(CCK to NBR) than on direction 2 during evening time...Originally posted by sbst275:But they still have 1/3 rigid and 2/3 bendies... Under SBS was 98% DD
