donno leh what block u stay I stay at somewhere you stay too! but I just could'nt find the problem.Toa Payoh to Tampines got more SDs plying.somewhere around 2 will come a lot of SD buses.Justy like me for an example today.I took 28 fr Blk 201 Market Place to home then come 1 SD.I took that SD.then I reach my destination.then another SD come liao.but I think because the two buses that normally go on 579 kenna replaced by these buses.
I see SGWIki then there rite

yar lor. really packed

Wow. blk 428 near blk 496g leh. 9am got DD meh? Maybe i make mistake. just now saw 2 SDs bus 28 at blk 430 bus stop so packed.
-
Think its the classic case of SD replace DD and so forth.
Another reason is because some of the DDs are on split shift.

wow. how did you arrive at the 15% better??
i'm interested to know! -
I live at the other end of the route... i must say that i have seen a lot of DDs on 28 still. Maybe its just the timing youre at bah.
-
As long as my 9415D comes every morning at that specific time, I am happy.
-
if you realise all the singledecks are A/P. last time 2 were sort of like S Shift as they crossover from 579.
2 doubledeckers became s shift. overall there just need to be a 28M like Service 163 and place a few SDs to cover it.
-
Lets see... 28... SBS1985C SBS773D (From AP --> Cross over to 579 --> 2811P 2816B AP)
S Shift DDs are 9608P and 9422H. (BNDEP Side. BRBP not too sure.)
I just "love" s 28

The number of DDs on 28 is still roughly the same. The only difference is now you kena a "suay" slot (SD timing).
Enjoy yourself while standing or Choose to take 29 or the similarily packed 293.
BTW: IIRC this the the third thread I have come across regarding sv 28. lolx -
But 6pm onwards MORE SDs. Off Topic: 29 MORE PACKED. Always around 1pm (sat, sun holiday) or 6pm-8pm(friday night) full until u cannot see anything.

svc 29 is packed coz of Changi Village... =D
-
Same sentiments. Just last month, I would barely be able to squeeze into the DD opp tam library at around 7pm. But ever since the school holidays, SBS has deployed a SD at the time slot and there's no way to get into the bus at all... What is SBS thinking?!?
-
Why don't you guys give your feedbacks to SBS Transit? (With Pictures). It is better than only a few people voicing out their concerns regarding this service.

there are services worst than 28, 29 and 293. get out of your area and explore. after that you will know what is called horrendously full.
brbp has only 2 SP LO3x and often they have to replace slots from all kinds of BR svc. so they usually will deploy SP 0405 to replace some of the BR 28 buses, some doubledeckers may be repalced by 0405 as a result.
for 29, most of the passengers alight by the time it reaches Loyang Ave, after that theres not much demand. advise you to take 293 instead which comes at a faster frequency.

currently the depot controls for 28 are bndep and brbp.
brbp has only 2 SP LO3x and often they have to replace slots from all kinds of BR svc. so they usually will deploy SP 0405 to replace some of the BR 28 buses, some doubledeckers may be repalced by 0405 as a result.

Go to Little India MRT Station bus stop on Sundays night (around 9pm - 11pm) and you will know what's called worst if you wait for Service 980.. Lucky enough, you will be able to see a SMRT bus on-hold somewhere down the bus stop, a police car, and a few policemen...
ftjj0298, if you don't get what I mean, can refer to the 5 Youtube videos that I have uploaded last Sunday night..
