Overloading trips

For 22, I mean at SGN

Yupzz pretty sure... cos i used to take 147 or 106(no more plying bendemeer rdOriginally posted by tranquilice:Are you sure?
) to S'pore Poly in the morning. I take the bus frm my hse in bendemeer area to of cos, Dover MRT. It will be packed to the entrance door lor but after bencoolen will be empty. This probably explains y SBST introduced svc 147A soon after realising svc 147 alone is being bullied by NEL 
. Fyi, 147A plys frm Hougang to Bencoolen 
. But 147A can't seem to be able to curb the overloding problem well enuff....and tt's y i'm forced to take the NEL. 
Above info based on my observations onli....it may be wrong and inaccurate.....pls do not depend solely on my info. clarify first.... -
And sumtimes its really frustrating to c svc 64 using the new superbus (trident?). 64 so little pple take still use so gd and big bus....sumtime really dunnoe wad SBST doing man.
i take 64 can use those small small bus....like the bus used by the now defunct svc 20
fyi...svc 20 use to ply between Sims PLace and looped at St. Georges...really cute buses man... -
I feel that all the 20 tridents should be runabout buses or perhaps the current 153 and 165's tridents become runabout.

There must be reasons why SBST put high-capacity buses on certain routes. And definitely you just cannot judge that just by looking at certain segments or parts of the route itself.Originally posted by th1988:For 22, I mean at SGN
Take me as an example when sometime ago I mentioned about SBST's deployment of 2 Service 168's VSOs back to back. I saw them running empty in a matter of 5 minutes within each other at Bedok Reservoir Road. But when someone told me the deployment is crucial, as the bulk of passengers alighted at Tampines, leaving the bus empty after that, I immediately realised there was a strong reason for SBST to do that.
A Service 22 Superbus might run empty at Serangoon, but it might be packed to the brim at Paya Lebar or Bedok Reservoir. So I advise you look at it as a whole, not just it's surface.
Cheers and warm regards -
179.
if u r unlucky, more than half a dozen buses can pass the bus-stop without even stopping... after which u can have another half dozen of buses which are nearly empty... think the planning can be realli bad sometimes... -
It's not bad planning. Its due to commuter patterns.Originally posted by Nothingie:179.

Like i've said time and again.. commuter usage on services goes up and down like the stock market. It's very hard to predict commuter patterns but what SBST can predict is the general demand of the service as a whole. -
Because of commuter patterns. Not everyone comes out at a certain time all the time, you can't expect SBST to cater to EACH AND EVERY one commuter, right?Originally posted by Nothingie:179.

if u noe where this service serves, & if this keeps happening, then some1 is not noticing the pattern...Originally posted by SBS9818A:Because of commuter patterns. Not everyone comes out at a certain time all the time, you can't expect SBST to cater to EACH AND EVERY one commuter, right? -
Service 168 can be very packed at WRI in the evenings, between 4pm to 7pm. This is also the case for Service 161. That is why I either try to take 161 before 4 or I take it after 7.

Why?
161 and 168 very popular with WDL residents? -
Easy access to Sengkang and Tampines respectively. For 965 and 969, they must bypass Yishun first.Originally posted by th1988:Why?

Are you making unsubstantiated claims again? Sv. 22 can be quite packed.Originally posted by th1988:It seems that other than 23, 147 those services with overloaded loadings do have ADDs. Why? In the end average demand services like 22 gets ADDs? They don't treat profitable rts well. -
For 22, where? TAM - Paya Lebar?
-
Although i've never seen Svc 22 being overloaded before, the relatively high demand of the service is at TAM - Bedok Reservoir/Ubi. Other than that, the demand is rather average as 22 duplicates 24 from AMK - Paya Lebar Rd.Originally posted by th1988:For 22, where? TAM - Paya Lebar? -
Actually Sv. 22 serves as a supplement to Sv. 24 along this stretch of road, and we all know how packed Sv. 24 can get.Originally posted by service_238:Although i've never seen Svc 22 being overloaded before, the relatively high demand of the service is at TAM - Bedok Reservoir/Ubi.

Service 76 too, although slight different in route.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Actually Sv. 22 serves as a supplement to Sv. 24 along this stretch of road, and we all know how packed Sv. 24 can get. -
Sv. 76 backs Sv. 24 up from Paya Lebar MRT - Boundary Rd.Originally posted by tranquilice:Service 76 too, although slight different in route. -
So many duplication, but when CCL starts operation.....Originally posted by SBS9818A:Sv. 76 backs Sv. 24 up from Paya Lebar MRT - Boundary Rd.

Chop 22, chop 28, chop 70, chop 76, chop 80.....Originally posted by SBS9818A:CHOP CHOP CHOP! -
They'll chop Sv. 93 too.Originally posted by tranquilice:Chop 22, chop 28, chop 70, chop 76, chop 80..... -
Maybe, but the rt runs 60% different to CCL, it does not call Enous Link, Airport Road, Braddell Road, Lornie Road (Reservior), Queensway.Originally posted by SBS9818A:They'll chop Sv. 93 too.
So it's still premature to talk abt it. -
Not that likely.Originally posted by SBS9818A:They'll chop Sv. 93 too. -
I like my 93! at least let it operate from Eunos - Bishan or something. It provides me a quick link from Eunos Link to Toa Payoh in 15min at night.
