Neglected service.
-
The services serving Tuas, as you guys know, easily holds the highest demand in the early morning peak hour. These includes 251, 252, 254, 255 so on.
For most services, the bus is usually filled to the brim but usually everyone gets on board at Boon Lay. Except one service. 251. This one loops at Benoi Rd.
Apart from the fact that this is a complete NAC fleet with not even a fleeting sight of ADD cameos, which I don't mind, what pisses me off is that, even though 251 matches and actually surpasses the other Tuas services in terms of demand, this service also has the worst frequency, morning peak hour frequency being at 20 minutes.
Thus 251 is the only Tuas service that consistently fails to be able to get everyone on board every morning. Seeing this, it really puts into perspective the silent sufferings of the many workers who rely on this bus to reach the ship yards, and the constant rambling of other commuters who tend to exaggerate their accounts.

Cannot deploy more bus, BNL int would jam like hell. That why there is an extension of EWL. Wait for another year and it would be ready.

Please leh......no DD confirm die. I'm only asking why the other services that have the same load and the roughly the same locations should differ in frequency. -
920, 922.

1st Question : Do u think there are enough buses in SLBP to be deployed on 251 ?
2nd Question : Even if there are enough buses to bump up the freq. Are there enough BCs ?Think about it...
p.s. 251 is consider very good. As compared to some Industrial Services up north with 2 perm bus only.

Just to name a few:-
Services 178, 852, 975, 980 with a lot of old Nissan UD buses.
Service 35 with NAC bus deployments.
Services 43, 103, 109 with a lot of MK3 fleets under HGDEP.
Service 70 not getting any Scania K230UBs though it is a high demand CBD service.
Services 52, 163 not getting any additional Scania K230UB buses though it has a single perm.
Service 246, 251 not getting any AC fleets.
-
Service 251 has its demand dropped after the factories at Liu Fang Rd were relocated elsewhere. With the drop in demand and route cut short (no longer ply Liu Fang Rd), adjustments had to be done to the service.

UD, but they can chiong!
MKIII? still not bad wad (although i hated MKIIIs last time...)
70 not getting K230 ar...maybe due to some reasons...
52, 163, and all those svcs with single K230 perm...depends on whether the depot wants to give more or not. they dun wanna give more, we will just have to bear wih it...
246/251...nothing to say.

I understand that you want new buses to be deployed on these few services badly. Just to keep you informed, amdep S52 S70 has undergone WAB training recently. I am very confident that S70 will get the Scanias.

I would think it is a better move if DDs are deployed during major events. Mark4s are good enough to hold the load for S11. -

Giving Volvo MK4s on service 11 and 115 is considered quite a privilage already. At first I will think that short haul services will get only Volvo MK3s to replace the outgoing Volvo MK2s.Whereas some trunk services like services 43, 103 and 109 (just to name a few) deserves to have more Volvo MK4 fleets. Maybe service 43 should go for Scania K230UBs instead

svc 115 get 885P i think is because of CCTV. If u notice, it got more CCTV than other usual mk4. -

Please lah, NAc was meant to ease the load on the workers, it is cheaper anyway, so it is not negliated

Obviously the replies were not quite the explaination I wanted. Like I said, I don't care about NAC/PAC/FAC.
All I want is to know more why 251 has the worst frequency compared to the other comparable services. I never had problems with 254/257. I always have problems with 251.

Refer to tranquilice's post.

if the workers there really want more buses, i'm sure they would have told their employers abt this and the association of the industries in the area would have written in to SBSTransit asking for more buses to be put on the service.

Sv 405 is ad hoc service for during those periods where there would be more ppl heading to cemetary to offer prayers
