For Feeders/Townlinks apart from 222,242,243,285(225 out of question,route too short).
I feel that 268,334 need at least during peaks.94 need 1 at least.For 945 i think 1 perm bendy will do just nice
855!
26,43,54,162,269,334 - needs some DDs.
167,851 needs more Bendies,852 during peak hours,966.980.
Service 980 really need to have more bendies especially on Sundays/Public Holidays, instead of service 169.
Ever noticed that service 169 always have a lot of bendies which are normally empty or only half load on Sunday evenings, whereas service 980 rigids are always full load or beyond that.
I actually sent a feedback to SBS Transit regarding about service 334 during peak hours.But they said that told the driver to told the passengers to move to the rear space provided.But I think is was useless although they ask the driver to told the passengers to move to the rear space provided.Its is ok to come out at least 3 double deckers buses during AM and PM peak hours during weekdays.
i dun think sv 268 need DD. its route are mostly duplicated by Sv 76.In morning peak, in the direction from AMK Mrt to Industrial Park, there are downroute Sv 268 and also Sv 268A running at very fast interval.
From AMK Ave 4 direction, its route to MRT are duplicated by Sv 76/269. Even Sv 76 DD can be fully packed till the entrance door, there are alway plenty of empty seats on the upper deck, if you look carefully. So if Sv 268 use DD, i dun think the passengers are willing to go up as well.
For Sv 269, nowadays it is alway packed at evening/night time/weekend from INterchange. However, i think it can just add one more bus to improve the frequency. Now the frequency seem like 10-15 mins even during peak hours. If put DD, think no one wan to go to the upper deck..
agree... 268 and 269 needs more rigid buses...
So 334 is ideal to have DDs cause the route is a bit too long for feeders ditto for 240 during peak hours.855 really need bendies even for off peak,Fri and Sat night worse!Yes 980 really warrant bendies.
better frequency and more bendies for 700A and 700 during PM peak to cope with 190..
YES !!! 334 should have ADD buses during peak hours !!!
291?
Just cross over will do. Pax must also cooperate.
I feel that 222 doesn't need DDs during off peak.
crossover ones from 97 S Shift to 334
many of the LOs that come up from Shenton Way to Jurong East off service from there..some of them can do an extra crossover to 334 for 1-2 trips would be ideal..but perm S Shifters...i dun think theres a need
many people take 97 from shenton way and transfer 334 home via Jurong East Int..
crossover 93 VO2x or 154 DD to 94?
154 frequency has been worsening..so i think 93 would be a better option..as i think just 1 crossover trip between 0715-0730 from Eunos Int is highly neccesary and even after that it can still operate 1 more trip on its perm route an off service

if you integrate 26 with 69 like 28 and 152 in the past..DDs can be deployed then
but there would be a lack of shot routes liao..short routes like 26 and 69 still needed as some BCs dun like long trips..the perm buses on 26 and 69 are not very good buses so long routes might not be a good thing for them..but i would really wanna sit LO3xs to Geylang Bahru though ![]()

291 needs DDs but the route is too short..extend Tampines St 32 section out to St 45 althoguh a duplication of S28 and S293..it would definitely extend the route as make it justifiable for DDs..i dun think people wanna climb up for a really short journey...
Originally posted by patdog112:better frequency and more bendies for 700A and 700 during PM peak to cope with 190..
YES!! I find that sometimes Service 700 bendies are not well utilised, in particularly, shift 700S104 at evening. Before it makes the last trip (and last bus of Service 700) from Bt Panjang towards Shenton Way, the trip back to Bt Panjang was not too many in terms of demand ("premium service" - if you get what I mean), and after its last trip to Shenton Way, it OFF SERVICE back to WLDEP from there...
Which they DO NOT want to make full use of the bendy to do P shift (if they practice "jump bus" just like SBST) and by doing P shift, I believe the demand can be even better than the trip to Bt Panjang in the evening (as Service 700). ![]()
last time during the LO2x era, 240 and 334 do operate as full DD fleet....... but now....... :(
Service 136 need to have more DDs(around 2 doing S-shifts or X-over from any SKG/PGL svs) during school morning peak (especially towards the direction of Punggol Int) besides the two X-overs that only do from Pgl Int to Amk Int.
Service 119 need to improve its frequency during school morning peak. from 10-11mins to around 8mins, perhaps have a X-over DD from Sv 80 ![]()
Can deploy one DD each on Sv 112 and Sv 113 for trial.

I Love intergration of services :P. Makes travelling a lesser hassle.
Service 3? It's really quite packed during peak hours. An increase in frequency might suffice though(:
Oh yes.. service 171 too. Since it used to have a bendy, it means that it's able to utilise them. It should get some bendies; really quite packed during peak hours.
