it seem like both 3352/3353 are still perm 72 but not 72B and they seem like outside schedule buses (i.e no fixed schedule, just run more trips if there is more crowds or what) cos i saw 3352 parked at YCK terminal at around 8.40am and it depart at around 9.05am to AMDEP...
as for 3349, when it was doing 72/72B that time, there isnt any perm sticker. not sure about now.

Seems like AMDEP has taken additional BSEP WEGs but do not know which services to deploy them on. Hence, though they have been given to sv 72, they are used for may be 1 or 2 trips in a day, coz you can hardly spot it.
Isn't this a real waste of resources? To add sv 72 does not need BSEP add, when SBST has beefed up the capacity so much in the last few months.
In our last discussion, we spoke about how sv 72A also has become quite redundant with so many buses on sv 72.
I think will be useful if HGDEP takes these buses and converts the Citaro slot on 43 to WEG and add one WEG to sv 101 for trial. It could also add the WEG to sv 107 or sv 153.

SV 72 now like a svc dat testing new WEGs for AM almost all new WEGs coming here will let them try doing on this svc first b4 perming to other svcs ! buses like 3233 & 3264 also once permed on 72 for a very short time then got transfered again to other svcs hope they r not doing the same thing to 3352 & 3353 .
For HGDEP now also hv 4 BSEP citaros as SP now they just make them running around on BSEP & Non BSEP svcs and not perming them as for the 66xx series SP bus also left 1 or 2 buses to play with now even some of this perm 159 CITAROS can see them on & off taken off daily to support other WAB svcs in return more DM & STRIDER back to this svc .

Sv72A is not redundent if they are operating during 7-8.30 am.. but after 8.30am dun think it is required.. problem is that SBST is facing a dilemma... they dun put too many buses on sv72 get complain of long queue at YCK.. they put too many buses then buses are bumped up....
so difficult for them also but at least SBST put in efforts to put in so many DDs... and not forgetting SBST have to deploy 2 white shirt inspectors + 1 green man at the Sv72B boarding area + 1 more BC recording the departure timing and 1 more BC at the alighting area recording the arrival timing for sv72B.. and even SMRT also got 2 CSO involved as well.
and btw, today got 2 DD on Sv72B and 3348 also on Sv72.
3352 depart YCK at 810am with top deck all fully seated
3353 depart YCK at 830am with top deck almost fully seatedthen 3352 off service back to YCK and park at the bus parking area for more than 40 mins.. not sure why it does not go into service. while 3353 join back the long queue of sv72B bus waiting for deployment at around 855am and it stil not yet depart at 9.20am as the crowds for Sv72B thin down.. i think they also does one or two more trips of SV72B earlier... it really seem like Sv72 are having flexible timetable as the timekeeper also pull out 5052 from the queue and the BC happily park one side and go into the canteen and drink coffee...
-
and i think SBST should deploy some of the Sv72B on Sv70/76 after 8.30am to help on these two services instead of letting these buses wait at the queue....
Sv70 is having 12 mns frequency from 8am to 9am.... 2 Sv72B buses should help and do a full trip so as to reduce the frequency to around 8-10 mins...
same go for Sv76 which is having 12-13 mins frequency from 8am to 9am....

i think all the perm 72/72b citaros dat finish doing 72B will be heading back to AMDEP until in the afternoon then 2 or 3 buses will back on 72 to do the PM PEAK svc.

depending on the timekeeper.. have see those 72B being pull out to do sv72 and other YCK services (if the buses came in late) and some will off service. there isnt any timetable for Sv72B.. so based on timekeeper to decide... just like today 5052 was pulled out at 920am and just park there....

3615H to BNDEP! On 291!

Agree. If you read my convo few threads before with Lsk, I have also seen 72A departing YCK Int with 50-60 pax on board many times but he mentioned it could be that it has loading from ITE students as well coz he sees the bus empty towards HG Int. But I think between 07 - 08.30 am the bus does have very high loading because if people take the bus and reach HG Int after 8.30am, they will reach CBD or their offices pretty late. So it is already not the core peak timing in HG area. Even though with 72 now having 05-07 mins morning frequency, it can very well take care of the loading.

No doubt SBST has done a great job with sv 72. I feel SBST should deploy 28 DDs on sv 72 and no SD at all on sv 72 and BSEP should deploy 10 Citaros on sv 72B because it is no real revenue for SBST. The additional buses required on 72B can be suplemented by SBST KUBs. But BSEP should be the one to help out with 72B.

Should there be a queuing system at Jubilee for sv 50/159 in the morning peak. Saw a sv 50 WEG coming on to the stop, and there were some 50-60 people (mostly students) who boarded the bus at Jubilee. The way people were boarding was quite haphazard because students were just rushing in and I saw an old aunty who was standing at the front of the stop was among the last to enter.
I was surprised to see the huge crowd at Jubilee because mostly I always observe how crowded 72B is at YCK Terminal and thought most people would take the train to YCK rather than AMK to transfer.
May be these are people transfering from buses within AMK Town.
