DDs/bendys are comin for which service
-
Did you guys know that the LO 3 axles on 168 ? Some of them were originally planned to be on svc 162 ? Another spotter and I saw the 162 sticker on 1 or 2 LO 3 axles but they were eventually put on 168. Can't remember the licence plates. I believed it's 9151 and 9145.

OMG, on 162??????? wish they reconsider this, though there's not really a need to do soOriginally posted by Airbus330Captain:Did you guys know that the LO 3 axles on 168 ?

the load of 162 has been steadily declining. it appears to be happily running on 20-minute headways on weekday off-peak. maybe some S-shift DD's will suffice.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Did you guys know that the LO 3 axles on 168 ?

Actually when they intro 162 then, alrdy had a feeling it would be more to a peak hr demand sv..Originally posted by ^tamago^:the load of 162 has been steadily declining. it appears to be happily running on 20-minute headways on weekday off-peak. maybe some S-shift DD's will suffice. -
Like this makes no diff..Originally posted by carbikebus:162 definately needs at least 2 DDs during peak hours,77 just add 1 bus and increase the frequencies during PM peak will do and in future you will only see 90%rigids & 10% bendies for new SMRT Buses.They want peoples takes MRT>EWL/NSL & Circle lines.Many long haul will be shortened or withdrawn and many niche and short haul services will be introduced.
Our public tpt will forever be meant for 4m ppl -
sometimes 76... on a 10 minute basis, i often see it quite empty, like only got 7 peopleOriginally posted by ^tamago^:the load of 162 has been steadily declining. it appears to be happily running on 20-minute headways on weekday off-peak. maybe some S-shift DD's will suffice. -
who have a feeling? but 162 should have DDs though from shenton way - yck has little loads, mainly because from yck - shenton way, the load quite good, especially after passing by amk. the problem lies with shenton way - yck, if they intro 1 DD towards it, it'll be good, but as someone said, 162 has varied demand, and i have to say, even during non-peak, sometimes empty, sometimes alot, so i think that they should put at the most 2 DDs on 162 if they ever reconsidered this optionOriginally posted by sbst275:Actually when they intro 162 then, alrdy had a feeling it would be more to a peak hr demand sv.. -

Off peak load would be weak.. -
the off peak load is weak only when it is around at night and midnoon, mostly. other than that, DDs should be used. darts should be used at nightOriginally posted by sbst275:It's biz is more from peak hr loads..

Well if 13 does get double decker i hope the driver can turn the bus well. I really think that 961 needs bendies. But if only it went out and came in like 980 does. During peak hours 961 is quite bad as its a long journey and during normal school days, the schoolchidlren will take 961 and the crowd is so much that i cant board the bus.
As for any other SMRT service, i feel 963 should have more of their buses doing Sunday/PH and for SBS Transit, 243 and 334 should be able to use DDs as they have high demands too. -
i know... but during 4 years of my schoolin in regent sec i nv SEE a 307 bendy before...Originally posted by muziq bus:307 had a bendy before -
Took it once in 2005 to school and that was only the AM Peak. Still remember is a Habit and box bendy.Originally posted by patdog112:i know... but during 4 years of my schoolin in regent sec i nv SEE a 307 bendy before... -

Sorry but the pic is taken in the interchange as i have no time to wait for it to be out of the interchange.
Service 77A boarding Berth will be beside Service 106 -
Originally posted by BusSpeeder:no, from shenton way - YCK, when off-peak, the passengers load is so low that it doesn't even fill half the bus, if students take the bus, maybe, but 162 never needs any DDs, it'll be great for 162 to have a dart if a dart come to AMDEP. if YCK - shenton way, the load is acceptable.
you are contradicting...Originally posted by BusSpeeder:in all i think yck terminal should have dd buses. in yck terminal only service 13 and 162 don't have. both should be equipped, especially 162. 162 peak hours quite crowded. -
I think the bendy is a xover to 106. Timing is just nice.Originally posted by TIB 589B:Service 77A will be getting Bendy Buses starting from 2moro. Today TIB 0869T is on trial bring all the Service 77A Bc's to have a try.

The Notice in Bt Batok Int said Toh Tuck Rd(Bt Batok Sec Sch)...Originally posted by TIB 589B:Service 77A From Bukit Batok Interchange to Toh Tuck Road ( Opp Bukit batok Secondary School ) -
77A used to be a one trip per day only shortworking (it doesn't even operate on some days) before BBSS moved into (ie the Jurong Institue and Millennia Inst. days). The desto used to be:
77A Terminating at
Jurong Institute
and yes, they dint update it when Jurong Institute became MI.
The correct name for the bus stop it terminates at is Toh Tuck Rd (Opp Good Luck View). The bus stop is opposite the school's rear gate. The front gate is at Toh Tuck Terrace. -
