Agreed, but isn't that the case with most services? -
Come on, common sense. You should know that there are not many people during off peak,most of the people have gone to work , how do you expect the upper deck is barely full. What do you want SBS Transit to do,Put back the DD buses back in the depot and use only during the peak hours period? And use SD buses during the off peak? Doesn't make sense,right?

Advantage of proposed sv 116
*Introduces new bus stops along HG Ave 4, HG St 61, HG St 91 and Serangoon Ave 3 to provide additional convenience to people living in these areas, where today there is NO service plying. This provides direct connection to MRT as well as a good Hougang intra-town service connecting important areas within Upper Serangoon Road, Hougang Polyclinic and Hougang 1. This is what BSEP is meant for according to me to cater to new roads rather than duplicating. Today's 116 is a mere duplication of sv 72 from Hougang Ave 9 which is no good.
** The current routing of 116 is opposite NEX that hardly gets people to move to the stop opposite when they get 315 and a number of YCK road services right outside NEX. Rather than routing 116 via NEX stop that is already congested, I propose it loops at the interchange via Serangoon Ave 3 that will provide these people connection to MRT and YCK road. People living here just walk the 1 km distance to MRT as they need to go to Boundary Road to get bus. If a bus plies below their HDB, they will take it to MRT #revenue increase #more convenience.
*** To cater to the increased routing, 1 additional BSEP bus will be added to the fleet.

I don't think your comment was offensive... it is a fact about most of our services in off-peak. So no need to remove it. -

Ok, I buy your case on 120 but If that's the case then I really don't understand why 120 should deserve that fleet then. Why not just 1 or 2 buses just like svc 11? Since its seasonal load.
As for svc 4, prove that it needs the WABs more than the other svcs. And BNDEP/CGBP itself is pretty much okay with its WAB management. Why not send the buses over to HGDEP, to svcs like 153 and 159? These svcs both connect old folk's favourites.
As you have agreed on, this is why BSEP needs a review. So that it makes great svcs even better, besides catering to svcs in need.
And yes, I have seen cases when BSEP does svcs like 85. It could be one of the minority, but it is still a sign.
120 is a mistake which no one DARES to rectify, i believe a few folks have written to LTA/SBST but the same reply goes, we will evaluate the ridership and decide...

This is the cause of negligence on their part...the service is introduced 5 months ago and if it is a normal situation, I don't see why they shouldn't change the route of the service now or even earlier.
-
Ironic why this month 113 not include into bsep?

Honestly, can even withdraw the service and divert 176 via Tehlok Blangah Heights by adding one more bus to sv 176 fleet.The sector for which sv 120 is meant Tehlok Blangah MRT to Tehlok Blangah Heights does not get even more than 15 pax during evening peak, rest alone off-peak.

The only problem is that BMR district isn't part of SMB contract area.What if 120 & 195 were to swap routes? How would the outcome be like?

Sorry - what do you mean by swapping 120 and 195 routes? How will it look?
