  I have a different view point on sv 50. It is an enabler if I can say. Having Wrights on it helps reduce the load on 159 to ITE in morning peak at the same time is another alternative to Seagate that encourages a few passengers to take the bus from Jubilee rather than 88 from AMK Ave 3.

  Again, it helps people on Sengkang West, East Ave, Anchorvale to reach Sengkang by the fastest route, so there can be spot loading for this service in this area.

  In morning peak, I have also observed people from Punggol East Way taking bus to Sengkang, where earlier they relied on 85 that is a longer route or 62 that took them to Hougang.

  The loading on 50 is the best among 4, 116, 120... Also to your point 72 and 88 have required fair number of DD upgrades. 72 had 21 DDs last year, today it has 28. 88 has 22 DDs last year, today it has 28 DDs and that too full fleet DDs. Major improvement by SBST and managing both services very well.

  In fact, sv 72 DDs hardly cross 60 pax now days because of the improved frequency. You have a bus every 05 minutes.

  Your observation of the paxs/route are all based on short distance... dun think the paxs want to go to the upper deck.. Citaros plus 3-4 wrights should be enough..  if i am at AMK mrt, i will simply go wait for sv88 with good frequency (5-8 mins) during peak rather than walking all the way to jubilee and wait for sv50  with a peak frequency of 12 mins at least?

  as for Sv72/88, it is SBST who provided the upgrade in the fleet.. LTA/BSEP should have to provide more buses for these two services instead of SBST....

  Yes, was much needed, but this change happened more than a month back. Need to convert one more SD slot to DD, then the svc will be 50% DD

  Proven SMRT is leading bus company~

  B9TL chassis is 100% low floor capable product by Volvo. But SBST decided to configure all the cdge and the first two batch of Wright bodied B9TL as low entry for more aisle space at after the door~

  Probably after the SMRT MAN was introduced with 100% low floor as their "flagship", SBST decided to configure their Wright bodied B9TL to 100% low floor, along with minor improvements to the interior~

  Info from BIS most reliable page on Singapore Buses~

  should replace one of the KUBs. Would be nice to have one more DD in 334's fleet for morning / evening peak. All buses in morning / evening peak have +60/70 pax.

  hmm maybe? but need to check back

  3295 1st day cameo on 334 is indeed replacing 3149. then 3146 cameo, indeed replace 3147. I look based on timesheet. the other 2 DDs present

  then for SDs, only 6031 absent yesterday. 6645 cameo (in fact cameo for many days, same slot as 6031). other KUBs present

  what do u think? i think need to observe more

  but what u said is true. i hope got 1 more DD perm

  Eh dude, police won't entertain such trivial matters. Plus you sound like threatening that homo, so that gives the police the more not needing to entertain this.
