LTA's Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP) (Part 2)

• 201911

  The press release on svc 11 extension states that it is the 27th bus svc/ route launched under BSEP... Since svc 121 was no. 25 under BSEP, with city direct 658 as no. 26, I guess the peak period short services and 143M are not included under the route count for BSEP (40 previously, now 80 new routes up till 2016)

  That is how connections should work.

  I have also seen drivers who coordinated for a seamless transfer at timed stops (especially if the passenger is unfamiliar with the area).

  14? Present scheduled fleet n timetable ok except for traffic snarls at Paterson Rd

  
  If WTS gets the contract for the West Coast region (BNV/CLE/JUE/BNL route groups) routes 14 & 51 are better off as joint ops with the contractor for Hougang (HGN/SKG/PGL) and East Coast (EUN/BDK/TAM/PSR). 61 and 67 should be joint Bukit Timah (BBT/BPJ/CCK) and East Coast control, meaning SBS+SMB input.

  Not bad, but you should use some of the undeployed BSEP Citaros, like SBS6350B and SBS6400R...

  Once a contract is won, drivers in the existing contract will be given a choice to stay with the company or join the new company. In other countries, drivers keep their senority when the contract changes hands as part of an agreement the union has with the government and companies.
