And im the king of england
Does anyone know how much has the bus commuter traffic increased after introduction of BSEP OR is it the same load spread across more # of services?
Found this one online.

For example:
Last bus for 30 to Bedok is 0020 hrs: Is the last bus a BNDEP bus?
Yes and it will reach Bndep & 0155.
Originally posted by TIB 585L:Why certain svc end earlier and certain ends later, dont count feeders coz they end at 1am almost all of them.
I rmb 30 last bus to Bedok was 0020h, 154 also 0020h, most trunk svc ends at 2330h or 2345h, some like 66,67 ends at 11 but 961 and some others very long route bus ends at 2330h
Izit got to do with the route of the buses or so that their bus dont get jam at depot when returning?
demand (cater to those industrial paxes which took the last JIS service) as MRT have already ended when the last JIS service go back to Boon Lay.... and act as a feeder...
think only 30/154 have 0020 last bus timing. 157 have 2400 last bus..
clementi have 165 last bus at 0000hrs, to cater to the pax at AMK mrt (with one additional downroute starting at AMK mrt bus stop at 0058 hrs)..
Something that has always been in my mind.
How do various bus depots (e.g. ARBP/BBDEP for SBST) do "markings" on buses to state that which bus is perm for which service?
For SBST, I know AMDEP/BRBP and BNDEP/CGBP sticks "SVC ##" to the BC's cabin or just above the entrance door;
HGDEP would stick the service number to the BC's cabin, albeit some of the "stickers" are old bus guides (e.g. Service 159).
Some of SLBP's buses have marker writings on the dashboard.
I've ever been on SBS 2814G during the morning peak - bus was full to entrance (me being at the entrance) - didn't see any stickers, marker writing on the bus that indicates it is Svc 200's perm.

AMDEP has started to paste barcodes for their buses on the bottom left corner of the BC's window.

Ah. Think I've seen them before (on the offside of the bus when I was alighting at TPY sawbooths). Can't barely make anything out of it from afar (except for the licence plate number, no?).
I got one qns ah. It's 2015, why SBST still using swing doors, and not sliding doors which has higher efficiency, reliability and less space consumption?
Unless you tell me they want save money? Ofc la, they under Temasek mah, must save every cent to earn more $$$!!
SBS1Z, supposed to be new beginning. Why still using the same old door, with no improvement?

Yup just the bus plate number and a barcode
So far it seems that only AM is doing this
Bus plate no. and barcode, i tot all bus have that?
Sorry, I misunderstood the context for this part. Paragraph deleted to avoid confusion.

Come to think of it, yeah you're right too. All buses have the said barcodes on, (which are mostly) above the front entrance doors.
Originally posted by SBS9644J:If I'm not wrong, sliding doors would prevent wheelchair accessibility. I remember somewhere a user said that the recent SBS 8002T hybrid trial bus has sliding doors in place of swing doors, because the bus was not wheelchair accessible (nature of the bus being a trial bus and all).
Please note that the NL323Fs and the Enviro500s all have sliding doors...

Oh wait, sorry. I mistook "sliding doors" for the ones like SBS 8002T and older models of buses.

SMB136C is a WAB and has sliding doors.

Yeah I figured what it meant. My mistake.
Originally posted by SBS9644J:Yeah I figured what it meant. My mistake.
As in, 136C has the "old-type" sliding doors, AND its a WAB.
Originally posted by SBS9644J:Yeah I figured what it meant. My mistake.
For avoidance of doubt, SMB136C have doors that swing inwards.
"Sliding doors" refer to the sliding plug doors these days.

I agree with the fact you mentioned, I probably have misintepreted 9644's question as I missed out on the service deployments aspect, however AMDEP has placed the barcode at a unique position which is easy to spot that its from AM

And how dare you spell Lui Tuck Yew wrongly!!
What is a bus spotter?
.
anyone notice that the BSEP sticker on E500 (more buses better rides) have spelling errors and they paste something to cover it?
