Bus Observations (2014)
-
Also PM, 169 leaves AMK Interchange between 5.30pm and 6pm every 06-07 minutes. Saw 3 bendies, 3 rigids within 40 minutes span leave AMK interchange.
Also 169 has 2 parking bays at the rear of interchange. 2 bendies were close to the wall and then 2 rigids were parked like double parking.
-
* SMB263T fast & smooth acceleration, even bunched up with another 2 svc.75 front buses...
* TIB1090R adless, thoroughly cleaned exterior, no restickering...
* TIB1109Y articulator not in good condition, very noisy...
* TIB1119T rear red livery higher alignment...
* TIB1192E rear-right in fresh livery... -
169 should be Majority Amdep while 969 should be majority Wldep..169 fleets also screw up ever since Wldep took over..
-
Svc 811 frequency damn fucked up imo... Too many 811A and ended up having the buses to come back empty... Though the load to Khatib side is not that bad but some ppl have to wait damn long...
-
Case of wrongly deploy buses...13 buses is enough for 811 & 811A but still cock up
-
Bus observation for SV 172 weekdays thus far ever since go BLBP:
1. AP buses the timings more or less the same. Few timings i took still took back the same AP bus as when during KJDEP times...maybe at most 2-3 mins difference due to adjusted runtime. Heard runtime was reduced even further during off peak (saw 39 mins from boon lay to cck during late morning). Peak hour think extended runtime by about 1-2mins...
2. Split shift buses was chaos. Was unable to observe much since majority are cameos (see my long list of 172 cameos these few days). Only managed to confirm some slots when i board them, or even recognise BCs for bendy slots...
Observations
(PM peak):
**List is for before AP buses go for dinner break..during dinner break, Split shift buses behind a certain AP bus will depart before it.
714G (01) >> 886T (S105) >> S104 >> 59S (02) >> unknown rigid S slot >> 5Y (03) ..... 6U (04) >> 1050G (S103) >> suspected unknown rigid S slot >> 56A (05) >> S108 (suspected) >> 57Y (06) ...... >> 58U (07) >> 1030P (S107)
Still missing from picture: 172S101, 172S102, 172S106
(AM peak):
59S (02) >> S104 >> 5Y (03) ... 6U (04) ... 56A (05) >> 1030P (S107) >> 57Y (06) >> 1050G (S103) >> 58U (07) >>unknown rigid S slot .... 714G ....

3. Buses will go back to KJDEP during split breaks, but when ending revenue service, buses will first go to KJDEP, then Bulim for overnight parking.

They should have a fuel tank and a bus washer so that the buses no need to go all the way to Amdep and return back.. Hope 171 can park here too...Prune all those low lying branches..Maybe in future portion of 75,106,190,960 also can park here.Good enough for 100 buses. -

Redeploy since KJDEP needs more E500s?
Need wait till can finally see some adblue tanks inside WLDEP -
E500 use adblue?If yes i think Wldep already have if not then how those 966 & 969 DDs fill up?
