Depot changes for Serangoon & Eunos Interchanges
-
dun think it will... where to find the ADDs to fulfill the svc?Originally posted by sbs&tibs:64, which is under EUNOS route group, I wonder would it go over to AMDEP. I hope not. -
Well, either they get redeployed on other routes or become SPs.Originally posted by SBST390:why is it that 7 must be snuffed and 18 be extended?? dun forget that even if you kill the svc, the buses whill still be physically ard. so in theory, these buses will still be ard in HG
The vehicles from BBDEP will just be taken over by the merged entity while those from BN will not be moved. -
and whatz ur basis for a 7/18 merger?Originally posted by iveco:Well, either they get redeployed on other routes or become SPs.

to serve the public better. a good example being tampines & holland v having direct links.Originally posted by SBST390:and whatz ur basis for a 7/18 merger?
also, hgdep's gonna need a lot of vehicles for serangoon routes as most of them are full single depot controlled. -
an effective bus connection from TPN to other parts of the island would require the bus to travel the expressways a la 23... so what is this about tampines and holland V do look at the macroscopic pictureOriginally posted by iveco:to serve the public better. a good example being tampines & holland v having direct links.

also HGDEP dun need alot of vehicles... 82, 101, 103, 315 and 317 are short haul routes and do not need many bus... 105 is 75% SLBP control, impact isn't that great. the only one is whether 100 would be BBDEP controlled or not... -
The 7/18 merger is only to have lesser buses needed and yet serve more linkage pt to pt. But not for long distOriginally posted by iveco:to serve the public better. a good example being tampines & holland v having direct links.

But my TSL does give it. (However TSL goes where IBS cannot cope or complete with MRT, thus a IBS complementary sv). But seriously, such long rts are not advsiable as they are not gonna be popular unless it's express -
What of 14 & 51, both of whom have more than 40 fare stages in each direction and ply little or no stretches of highways?
14 can be split, so can 51.
14: BDK-Tomlinson Rd (loop) & CLE-Suntec (loop)
51: HGN-NBR, JUR-NBR
If u combine 7 & 18, there are only 36-37 fare stages, shorter than 197's 37-38.
Btw, does 105's O405s come from SL or AM? The Mk 5s are definitely property of SLBP. -
They are old rts, passengers can be affected a lot. That's why no more long rts that has no reasons for it.Originally posted by iveco:What of 14 & 51, both of whom have more than 40 fare stages in each direction and ply little or no stretches of highways?

Just dont need to touch 51. 14, since its a very winding route, should just be shortened to Upp East Coast, can already shave like 10 stages off.Originally posted by iveco:What of 14 & 51, both of whom have more than 40 fare stages in each direction and ply little or no stretches of highways?

105's Merz come from both depots. -
I wonder if carbikebus is so suay to be captaining route 51. So what if 51 svc cpts get longer break? They must drive for 2 hours non-stop each direction. What if one of them got stomachache?
The same applies for svc 14 cpts.
Each depot has its own long winding route:
SLBP: 51 (with HGDEP), 143 (with BRAM)
BBDEP: 14 (with BNDEP), 166 (with AMDEP)
ARBP: 16 (but it's a loop svc)
BRAM: 143 (with SLBP)
AMDEP: 166 (with BBDEP)
HGDEP: 51 (with SLBP)
BNDEP: 14 (with BBDEP)
WLDEP: 961 (wonder which SMRT EB comes from here, also think of 961 buses reporting for duty at Geylang Fringe. Must dash down the BKE, PIE, Bendemeer & Boon Keng Rds.)
KJDEP: 61, 67 (with AMKBEP)
AMKDEP: 61, 67 (with KJDEP) -
a very good quantitative analysis... however the direction for buses today is to serve as a feeder to the rail network, with only a handful as backbone servicesOriginally posted by iveco:What of 14 & 51, both of whom have more than 40 fare stages in each direction and ply little or no stretches of highways?

14 and 51 are deem cash cows somewhat so i dun think they will be touched.
and pardon me for being direction... u seem to have an obsession with merging 7 and 18. -
But, they can be like HK, MTR Vs BusOriginally posted by SBST390:a very good quantitative analysis... however the direction for buses today is to serve as a feeder to the rail network, with only a handful as backbone services

PTC has spelt the intentions clear... rail and buses as a support in and integrated networkOriginally posted by sbst275:But, they can be like HK, MTR Vs Bus -
It is doing more harm to the public, cut here cut there then allow fare hike when SMRT earns recordOriginally posted by SBST390:PTC has spelt the intentions clear... rail and buses as a support in and integrated network

Just had information that the bus services in Eunos are having HGdepot cameos instead of their normal fleet, looks like a change might take place soon.

In fact, 9800A had made it bef last year on 154. I think the change will be felt in phrasesOriginally posted by Airbus330Captain:Just had information that the bus services in Eunos are having HGdepot cameos instead of their normal fleet, looks like a change might take place soon. -
I think changes have started... with depots making crazy deployments as phrase 1 to provide allocations
-
Before a depot transfer happens, most services in the depot will have special cameos, odd cameos.. u name it, they cameo it
for eg.. bishan merz dont usually do 26 even though they're under the same depot until 299 and 392 came over to cameo this week.
changes hasnt started yet. They are just planning on which bus is to be perm on which service after the change. -
They term it "On trial" like what I have said regarding 289 yesterday on E shift on 90Originally posted by service_238:Before a depot transfer happens, most services in the depot will have special cameos, odd cameos.. u name it, they cameo it

9083 has disappeared from Sv 8 (Haven't seen it for days)
3722 went missing until yesterday
On trial as they are doing things like jigsaw puzzle, at the same time, PAC services may become FAC if there are enough buses -
Just saw 9083 on svc 8 today, with 9210 (also SBST drivers ad) of svc 21 going to opposite direction.Originally posted by sbst275:They term it "On trial" like what I have said regarding 289 yesterday on E shift on 90

Lucky, still remember that day seeing it on 143. Gave me a shock!Originally posted by leeJZ:Just saw 9083 on svc 8 today, with 9210 (also SBST drivers ad) of svc 21 going to opposite direction. -
A service 28 VSO is on Sv 8 todayOriginally posted by sbst275:Lucky, still remember that day seeing it on 143. Gave me a shock!
VSO on service trial? -
Just a CAMEO. Sv. 8 has PERM VSO on weekends.Originally posted by sbst275:A service 28 VSO is on Sv 8 today
VSO on service trial? -
Perm VSO on weekends is most of the time SBS 9831 K of svc 31. But last weekend spotted a svc 28 bus on it (the yellow courtesy ad one).
-
SBS 9802U tends to be Sv. 8 weekend perm bus.
