Service 7 & 80
-
Just to let u guys know that svc 7 & 80 are NOW WAB services !!! =D
-
It's been a long time since they are one. Well, at least 161 is a WAB service but not registered officially.
-
U mean those B9TL that plies on services are WAB services ? it is just that they are not registered yet ? for e.g svc 143 ? I'm confused...
-
Actually, what is the difference between a WAB service and a service with WAB buses? Are bus drivers supposed to do the SOP for wheelchair bound people who flag a non- WAB service but a WAB bus for that service?
-
WAB services have timetable indicating that the nx bus is WAB de..
exampple
SV21
Nx bus 8min ( WAB )
Nx Bus 18min -
SOP is that even tho u drive a WAB, u r not allowed to pick PIW unless its a WAb service
in this case there was once a PIW want to take bus 7 then got rejected

Service 161 cannot be considered a WAB service as the total number of WABs is < 50% of the total fleet.Originally posted by Class 55 Deltic Fan:It's been a long time since they are one. Well, at least 161 is a WAB service but not registered officially. -
like that SV 76 also cannot be consider as a WAB service?Originally posted by off_service:Service 161 cannot be considered a WAB service as the total number of WABs is < 50% of the total fleet.
8 B9TL on SV 76, total fleet = 18. less than 50%. -
I guess the next one in line should be svc 88

8 out of 18 not so bad.. 161 is 3 out of 12..Originally posted by lemon1974:like that SV 76 also cannot be consider as a WAB service?

ya 8 out of 18 or 17 is not bad, but it is still less than 50% right? then it should not be consider as a WAB as you all say that it need >50% WAB.Originally posted by off_service:8 out of 18 not so bad.. 161 is 3 out of 12..
even like what Service_238 have stated, only during evening peak (3 hours), only does sV 76 have more than 50% WAB on service, but this is comparing to different number of fleets during different time. We should talking abt the total fleet right?
actually i dun think the 50% rule exist also. If so, SV 21 will not be a WAB in the beginning.. only 10 perm B9 in the start plus 4 SPs out of total 23 buses? only later, it added two more B9 from the SP. -
In that case, am i correct to say that there is no benchmark of becoming a WAB service? SBST proclaims that whatever service becomes the WAB service when they are ready for it.

If we take the 50% benchmark for peak hours only, most B9 services will be eligible, except, once again, 161. It has only 2 full day and 1 Split Shift.Originally posted by lemon1974:ya 8 out of 18 or 17 is not bad, but it is still less than 50% right? then it should not be consider as a WAB as you all say that it need >50% WAB.

The 2 B9s are also almost one hour apart in the respective slots. So if 161 has a PIW waiting and got in the HG wave.. imagine how long the PIW has to wait. -
Actually i dunno who in this forum said about the 50% benchmark. By fact its about 40 odd % of the total perm fleet. Just look at 21 and 76. In fact I believe its the frequency for a WAB throughout the whole day. Just look at any timetable, no WAB bus has a frequency of more than 30min at any one time. I didnt really check the WAB timetable in detail so prove me if I'm wrong in the previous sentence.Originally posted by tanjun:In that case, am i correct to say that there is no benchmark of becoming a WAB service?

I hope svc 143 will be next in line too...Originally posted by bendy2003:I guess the next one in line should be svc 88 -
shot my own sentence...Originally posted by service_238:Just look at any timetable, no WAB bus has a frequency of more than 30min at any one time. I didnt really check the WAB timetable in detail so prove me if I'm wrong in the previous sentence.
Service 12 - Saturday schedule from New Bridge Rd.. 1 hour frequency for B9 after 11pm
