Dont know leh, I just think so, now slow down a bit. 45 min? So fast ah?
Yeah it was kinda fast. It skipped some stops along Buangkok there, Hougang also got skip 1 or 2 and yes the bus is slow.

Saw a 46 bus today with almost-filled seats and some upstairs (30-40 pax) at Bedok North Ave 3 towards Tampines. I would have thought it has beat 18 towards Tampines
No use comparing to 18 since they serve different areas (Tampines East/West). If someone was to go to Tampines MRT, there's 67.
But yes I'm actually quite surprised by the 30-40 pax..
sv 980 gets a fleet add now operating with 15 buses still at a frequency of 14-16 mins.
sv 972 has 1 DD less (still operating with 28 buses, 27 DDs/1SD)
sv 970 finally gets a fleet add after 4 years (21 buses now)
sv 966 reduced 2 buses now operating with 25 buses (14 DDs, 11 SDs)
sv 965 reduce 1 rigid to 16 buses
sv 960 reduce 2 buses and convert few bendies to A22s. 30 buses (19 HC, 11 A22s)
sv 856 trades off 2 DDs for 2 bendies
sv 171 has lost its perm bendy but has a crossover bendy from 969 during PM peak (DTL effect?)
sv 172 lost its DD to sv 190. Now operating with 1 DD only. Not sure, can someone confirm? If yes, this is a bad move!!
sv 190 lost 1 rigid to 41 buses (from 42 buses) with 8 rigids, 27 DDs, 6 bendies. Still not bad.

Its only a weekdays split shift additional bus thats why you encounter 14-16 mins per bus during off peak..Only peak hour they tweaked to 8-10 mins per bus.Off peak BCs still struggling.
Its about time SMRT reduce buses for their service.Always bunching 2-3 buses with the last two buses running almost half empty.190 still running strong even with 1 full day duty reduced..972 also still going good with frequent bunchings even during off peak.960 can reduce 1 more rigid liao and should deploy majority HC buses during weekends..Weekdays loading dropped significantly.171 can start Yishun to Bukit Panjang or terminate at Bt Batok.172 other perm DD run liao but can still see they deploy random DD during weekdays.966 for now its stable with few buses reduced..67 also need to chop 1 bus..Still see 3-4 buses bunchings..167 can improved if deploy 2 DDs for start.
26 and 197 get a fleet add after 4+ years. Both get a SD added to fleet. 26 seems to be on account of Chai Chee diversion though that should not increase runtime much, but SBST may be wanting to give better frequency to 26. 197 seems to improve frequency given its long winding route, sometimes frequency can be terrible. SD fleet add is a good choice coz DDs are a bit of a waste on 197.

Hi mr array88, sbs 46 will gradually get its passenger loading. It is just like when sbs 116 was initially launched. Cheers. Thanks.
Svc 187 also reduce 1 bus during weekdays eff last Monday

No, some people said that it is 1 for 1 DD swap.
854 really needs more perm DDs. WTF is AMDEP not taking in Wrights?
BBDEP SP had 4 DDs 'downgraded' to SDs.

Maybe SG5748 replace the outgoing DD

split or AP?
Split,950 got 1 extra full day duty for Saturday and Sunday..Weekday remain the same..Dunno what is SMRT doin..Always the opposite side.
Done by random JB A22
192
Full fleet DD. KUB -> B9TL upgrade.
193
One more SD converted to DD. Before 193 route change, it was almost 50-50 DD/SD... Slowly all SDs have been converted to DD. Now remaining only with 2 SDs in its fleet and 11 DDs, compared to 7 DDs, 6 SDs previously.
854 cut 1 more DD. But SMRT AMDEP just can't take in any Wrights.

Sometimes 857 DDs or 3610E will cameo on bendy slots..
Amdep will take in a few A95s and Wrights as informed by some SMRT personnel..Wait for Loyang overnight parking.Now take in where to park?
Originally posted by Sbs6750E:858 has no more AM/PM bendies, now all on rotating duties.
Like that all 5 A24s can be on 858 at once. Am I right?
Good move!
KIV:
I am observing 3 DDs on sv 101 many times. Is there a fleet upgrade? Last time 103 also got 2 DDs for one week, but turned out that there is still 1 perm DD.
Is sv 43 operating with full fleet DDs? Saw every bus on 43 to be a DD...
That's like a WOW... and huge clap for GA... but have they cut buses(?)

Hi mr busanalyser, yes I saw 43 all DDs. Congrats. Whoever saw SDs, let us know. Cheers. Thanks.
