LTA's Bus Service Enhancement Program - BSEP (Part 3)
-
980 for such a long distance service has only 14 buses and terrible frequency that can be 20-25 mins at times. The saving grace for this service is sv 167 which follows similar route and hence commuters still don't complain. But both sv 167 and sv 980 are packed to door along Sembawang road (especially Yishun / Springleaf area). Hope both 167/980 get their BSEP slot upgraded to DD and get few DDs added for the AM trips to city and PM trips back to Sembawang.

980 in fact should have at least 16 duties,9 for Amdep and 7 for Wldep..Wldep can deploy 4 DDs out of 7 duties.
Service like 61,67,75,167,169,171,172,176,178,180,184,187,188,190
all should goes to SBST.I can imagine there will be full DDs for svc like 180 & 190.
SMRT can renumbered CCK feeders to 930,931,932 & 937 for 300,301,302 & 307.
61 & 67 can go Bndep/Bbdep,75,176,188 & 190 can go full Bbdep.172 & 180 go full Sldep looping at CCK & BPJ respectively.167 & 171 can go Amdep/Brbp respectively.
169 full Amdep While 178 & 187 go Bbdep/Sldep.SMRT can concentrate svc 925,927,983,985 & CCK feeders plus introduce a new express svc to town,For BPJ can
concentrate avc the feeders,970,972,975 and introduce 1 medium haul trunk and a feeder.Woodlands side can focus on svc 856,858,Feeders,950,960,961,962,963,964
965,966,969 and introduce two more new svc.Sembawang can introduce new svc 850 and focus on 859/A/B,882,980,981 and introduce one new feeder.Yishun can focus the feeders,851,852,853,854,855,857,860 as well introduce a feeder svc,a medium trunk that goes to Hougang and take over AC7 route and extend to Larkin Terminal.
3 depots are enough for SMRTB,Kranji,Woodlands and the upcoming Seletar.They should improve and can bid for the upcoming Marina South ITH in future.

All, new temporary road from Punggol east to KPE coming up. Will be ready in Q2 2016. Good news for all car users in Punggol. Cheers.

I like the idea of former SBS services returning to SBS Transit. Svc 61, 67, 190, 187, 171, etc... Especially best if the feeders also return to them. BB and CCK + BP buses.

What about the northeast route groups allocated to Tibs in 1995?

CCK/BPJ return to SBST then 920,922,927,970,972,975,983 & 985 should be renumbered as 420,422,427,470,472,475,483 & 485 respectively.700 should also be renumbered as 407!

A bit of topic but here is what the LTA reply to me regarding about future bus depots.
FEEDBACK NUMBER: 20150618-0206
We refer to your email of 18 June 2015.
We noted your interest/suggestion on the future bus depots. LTA had been working with land use agencies on the distribution of bus depots across the island. To optimise land use, longer term plans for bus depots include building multi-storey structures or integrating them with other future rail depots (like Mandai & Changi as you mentioned). Existing bus depots may be reconfigured to multi-storey structures or relocated when more depot capacity are progressively added. -
So meaning what?Amdep/Hgdep to renovate into multi storey?Soon Lee high chance will stay because of it multi storey status.Woodlands might be gone as the capacity is only 300 lots without the bus park.

AMDEP-SMB should go because it cannot house DDs. The land on which it stands can go to SBS. SMB can transfer YIS routes to Seletar when it's ready.

I dun think so. Control for North East section will remain with SBST.

Hahas. The numbers ah.. A bit big..
Maybe like that...
Cck: 300, 301, 302, 307 remains coz it was.formerly.frm SBS except for 301
BP: 920,922 --> 343, 344.. Maybe hv 345
BB: 941, 945, 947 --> 361, 365, 367 (former Bb feeder)

seriously, there is really issue with the BSEP deployment.. LTA can put 8 BSEP DD on sv966, but not going to improve on SV172/180/980/167/851?

I think there's more than 8 for 190?

I agree... and have raised this before... surprises me that so many high capacity services including 167, 172, 180, 184, 189, 851, 980, 985 have got no BSEP... I thought KJDEP got so many DDs... might deploy 1 DD on 172/180/184/189 at least.
Weird deployment.
-
Redundant la put so many DDs on 966 and 972..190 i can understand cause they try to reduce the bendy and a few single decker buses.972 no need 20-21 buses la,18 buses including 972A is more than sufficient.167 & 980 can deploy 2 DDs without having fleet cut.172 can deploy 4 DDs.187 until now only 1 perm DD with ocassion 1 cameo DD.

Yeah... but the new BSEP package has more DDs than SDs when it was announced.

Svc966 will always have 2 ADL bunch up @ Marsiling Stn towards MP around 7:29am. Both buses are carrying at least 20-30pax.

They purposely deploy this kind of timings cause a number of pax complain to newspaper about 966 cant cope with loads during this timing towards MP,Now 2-3 DDs come let see if they complain again.But seriously of off peak also 3 bises bunching than they have to revise again

No choice though. The BPJ area is getting more and more residents and since it's the only SMRT svc direct to TPY/Eunos/MP side, they will have to do it with good frequency like 190 & 972. BPJ too pampered already...

you're damn right. Even DTL 2 also fast tracked to open during Christmas when it was originally slated for next February.
