Questions about S'pore Buses?Post here!!(Part 3)
-
i agree. even 806 has this problem. whenever i go to YIS int, peak or off-peak, the 804/806 berth is always packed. and the 2 bus come 2gether. one at the berth, one in front the berth. whenever this happens, the queue starts to criss-cross and those passenger will have a harder time to board.Originally posted by Oceane:Well as a regular in Yishun town services I've experienced crowds during the afternoon off-peak and evening peak hours, and sometimes evening off-peak towards closing time.
I think that during morning peak hours, especially now during school holidays, 2 rigids can replace 2 bendy slots on 812, because passenger demand on 812 during the morning isn't high at all. The real crowds start to appear after afternoon.
For 800, passenger demand isn't as high as 804 which is always crazily packed, but it still meets OK demands during the entire day which is still OK. A few days ago, a rigid (Lance) cameoed on 800... extremely rare sight. TIB 0914 X by the way... I guess they might be using it to test passenger volumes during off-peak because I thought about it; TIB 1060 C went on 804 that day and by right a bendy should cameo on TIB 1060 C's slot but instead a rigid went.
As for 811, passenger demand is extremely high for the east side of the route but not for the south route. But still, I wonder why there are 5 rigids perm on 811.
It used to be full bendy fleet. I think that 1 bendy from 800 and 2 bendies from 812 can crossover to 811 during the morning, and return to their own services during the afternoon (Passenger demand on 811 from afternoon isn't as high as the morning). The extra rigids can crossover to 800 and 812 during the morning. So it's like a swapover.
As for 804, I seriously think it needs extra buses during the evening peaks. It's about as packed as 190 when it leaves YIS INT. I think that during the evening, extra bendies can be deployed to cope with passenger volumes. Better still if got fleet addition for 804. Always packed like crazy. -
if let's say a company advertises on a few of SBST's buses and pays a lump sum...
and that bus encounters a road accident and the bus is kept in the depot for repairs...
is the company refunded for the duration the bus is in the depot and the advertisement not seen by the intended consumers in the public? -
In the past they tried setting up another ticket machine (before EZ link came) so that people could purchase bus tickets and board from the exit doors.Originally posted by nenepokey:i agree. even 806 has this problem. whenever i go to YIS int, peak or off-peak, the 804/806 berth is always packed. and the 2 bus come 2gether. one at the berth, one in front the berth. whenever this happens, the queue starts to criss-cross and those passenger will have a harder time to board. -

Same case for the one (last time) at gate B4 of Bedok Interchange (Services 35, 225G, 225W). Now no more.Originally posted by Oceane:In the past they tried setting up another ticket machine (before EZ link came) so that people could purchase bus tickets and board from the exit doors. -
I would like to go to Piccadilly on one of the days. The only way to go into there is to take Service 103 or 103W (obviously). At the entrance, I saw these words: "Show pass without (forgot remaining sentence)".
Question: Do I really need to show any special pass if I want to go into Seletar Airport by bus? -
no need coz the old guardhouse is no longer in use for many yearsOriginally posted by TWS4793:I would like to go to Piccadilly on one of the days.

SHOW PASS WITHOUT DEMANDOriginally posted by TWS4793:I would like to go to Piccadilly on one of the days. The only way to go into there is to take Service 103 or 103W (obviously). At the entrance, I saw these words: "Show pass without (forgot remaining sentence)".
Question: Do I really need to show any special pass if I want to go into Seletar Airport by bus?
The gate near the old Jln Kayu Terminal is not in use, because Seletar Camp is now located further down along Picadilly. You dont need a special pass to go to Seletar Airport. Took a CAC Merc pass the area before. -
I was checking up SBS 3624 G [AMDEP EB88] in One Motoring because it had been missing for some time... I saw this:
Inspection Due Date: 05 Nov 2007
What does Inspection mean? Doing maintanence? Or Lay-Up?
SBS 3624 G's slot had been replaced by 3 different buses in the last 3 days: SBS 2802 R, SBS 0337 E and today, SBS 3878 R. So I was wondering what happened to SBS 3624 G. -
The advertisement is transferred to another bus.Originally posted by sinicker:if let's say a company advertises on a few of SBST's buses and pays a lump sum...
