SBST low demand routes (Profitable as well)
-
82 also serves Serangoon JC. It also serves a fair amount of schools, about 8+ schools.
If 82 is to be shortened, perhaps either 87 or 89 can be amended to ply its Hougang Ctrl - Punggol Rd route, as both of them duplicate each other from HGN - SEK. -
Would 158 be considered as a low demand route during the off peak hours?Originally posted by sbst275:Low demand rts
Totally: 11, 35, 40, 79, 82, 101, 103, 125, 191
Off Peak only: 6, 90, 91, 92, 94, 103, 107, 119, 200, JIS, 354*, 400*, 403*, 506
Is this list correct?
I would then go on to profitable list -
Average demand perhaps, 158 cannot be touched because it is the only service serving Tanjong Rhu / Dunman High.Originally posted by supremebull:Would 158 be considered as a low demand route during the off peak hours? -
Low demand means low demand, who cares abt its serving areas. Like 90 or 91, the only bus from the terminal to somewhere, it is still low.Originally posted by leeJZ:Average demand perhaps, 158 cannot be touched because it is the only service serving Tanjong Rhu / Dunman High. -
You'd expect it to be average demand because its the only bus in a LARGE private estate, maybe most of the people get off at Aljunied MRT.Originally posted by sbst275:Low demand means low demand, who cares abt its serving areas.

Demand for 158 along the Tanjong Rhu area is atrocious all day except for AM peak and 1200 - 1700 hours since only the DHS ppl swell up the bus then and the Tg Rhu people can drive all their nice shiny expensive cars.

During weekends, I've seen Sv. 158 buses with standees from Aljunied MRT to Tg Rhu. Don't forget not all residents there drive.Originally posted by supremebull:Demand for 158 along the Tanjong Rhu area is atrocious all day except for AM peak and 1200 - 1700 hours since only the DHS ppl swell up the bus then and the Tg Rhu people can drive all their nice shiny expensive cars. -
I think for off peak, almost all the Jurong Industrial services quite low demand, incl 182.
192 and 193 is not too bad i think, still got the JW residents to serve.
405 is confirm low demand.
High demand throughout the day - 99, 147 -
I think 79 is low demand for off peak only.Originally posted by sbst275:Low demand rts

haha very true. most of the times i end up being the only clown on my joyrides on 405Originally posted by loudmonkey:I think for off peak, almost all the Jurong Industrial services quite low demand, incl 182.

Totally, although there's a slight increase in load during peak hours.Originally posted by sbst275:For totally or off peak only section? -
Because who uses it for? For people going to cmty for ching ming, for example.Originally posted by gynobcard:haha very true. most of the times i end up being the only clown on my joyrides on 405 -
Sunday evening.Originally posted by supremebull:um...what times of the day would that be? jus wanna see whether i can explain it or not -
Where?Originally posted by SBS9818A:Sunday evening. -
FYI, most ppl would rather take a taxi or drive to the cmty since its in some god-forsaken place. 405 is mainly a "community service" which is non-profitable and cross-subsidised by other servicesOriginally posted by sbst275:Because who uses it for? For people going to cmty for ching ming, for example. -
and you see why no one is on the bus from boon lay to cck rd end sometimes on last bus.... people dont want to be trapped by ghosts...Originally posted by gynobcard:FYI, most ppl would rather take a taxi or drive to the cmty since its in some god-forsaken place. 405 is mainly a "community service" which is non-profitable and cross-subsidised by other services

FYI 405 last bus leaves Boon Lay at 1700 which is still very bright as it is at the Western endOriginally posted by freakybuses:and you see why no one is on the bus from boon lay to cck rd end sometimes on last bus.... people dont want to be trapped by ghosts... -
And how will the people get out if they have no car? Walk? Walking takes about 30 mins to get out.... and also easy to get lost.Originally posted by sbst275:FYI 405 last bus leaves Boon Lay at 1700 which is still very bright as it is at the Western end -
People go for ching ming only in the morning, by 1300, the cmty is quiet already.Originally posted by freakybuses:And how will the people get out if they have no car? Walk? Walking takes about 30 mins to get out.... and also easy to get lost. -
Let's put it into pieces
Low Demand Rts
Totally: 11, 35, 82, 101, 103, 119, 125, 186, 191, 200, 405
Off Peak only: 6, 29*, 79, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 107, 158, 182, 194**, JIS, 354**, 400**, 401**, 403**, 506
*29 is only high demand at Tampines
**Holiday seasons is very high in demand -
For the high demand rts, I would use sector instead, it seems very hard to just select service. Sure to have argument and would go on and on. By looking at the low demand section, some say this some say that, cannot make everyone happy.
