And oh yes of course I know about the DD for 2 days thing... really a joke. Wayang Satu-ness to the max.
i normally see 1213D,1137R, then the rest is random rotation. didnt see anything yesterday and today only 1450/1452/1455 etc
Originally posted by AntiDennisLance:It could be 856. WLDEP side has A95's for 963, can easily cameo. Can even come from AMDEP also - remember 851 HC split shifts will start the day on 856 for one trip first before starting on 851.
Confirmed to be green WEG on 856. Saw it twice on Admiralty Rd West/SSC area yesterday.

i usually saw 1212/1150/1137.
today got 1131 as well..
those 313* series buses seem to be missing from this week.. most likely have gone back to KJDEP.

Have been seeing 1131 for a few days alr - since Monday at least.
1212 - saw this guy head out from AMDEP at about 5pm + on Monday - heading to split duty at BM? Or not for 851 at all?
313* likely replaced by 145*. Been seeing a full series of 145* on 851.

No DDs can be spotted on 851 anymore :(

Since last Tue.
972 has 1 DD add + 1 SD -> DD conversion. (Total 28 DDs now)
Interesting to observe this in spite of DTL2.
980 has 1 more fleet add, now operating with 16 buses
Good move as frequency had to be boosted
981 has 1 SD fleet add
Good move as frequency had to be boosted for Seneko estate. A DD would also have been fine.
983 has major downgrades. From 7 DDs in its fleet, now operating with only 3 DDs and 10 SDs
The frequency has been boosted to 05-06 mins per bus + Keat Hong still many flats people have not moved in. In addition there is 300, 301 and 308 along its route. But for BPJ it is the sole service. Seems like not many takers to DTL2 yet and are continuing on their CCK MRT patronage.

972 too many buses imho,Crawling at expressway leh..Its better to operate with just 26 DDs,17 AP 9 S1.
And 980 speed is much slower than before due to 2 buses added.981 is a good move..Sat also got 1 extra duty from 2 to 3.983 jialat liao.

Maybe can have 17AM 19PM, everytime nowadays stevens rd towards PIE there will jam one
Originally posted by SMB5007J:Maybe can have 17AM 19PM, everytime nowadays stevens rd towards PIE there will jam one
Even you put 25PM if stuck in jams also no use...What we need is a bit wider expressway with bus lane...
136 I proposed to have 3 standby buses during weekend pm shift to start just after Sgn Gdns towards AMK/PGL in case of bad jams,At least can kapo some paxs rather than 4-5 buses travel together...They don't want to listen their problems...43M also i request to convert 3 DDs to SDs..

SMRT keep changing leh... Add bus then next quarter reduce.
190 now operating with 45 buses from 42 buses, then again next quarter you will see they reduce bus.
Same they keep doing for 965 and 966 also.
sv 58 needs more SD->DD conversion. It is the only service connecting express to Pasir Ris from Kaki Bukit and likewise the sole service in UBI 3.
SDs during peak hours are not able to tank the load. Always see them in the red (even DDs for that matter).
Time for 58 to get more DDs.
Also feel the new speculated UBI service may be along this stretch to relieve loading on 58 and connect it to DTL3 Macpherson MRT.

not just that, it needs to improve its frequency first
weekday peak 9 mins and weekend full day 17-18 mins (even acc to sbst ett when shown on website back then) is totally unacceptable for a svc like this

S58 always stuck in jams leh,To be fair weekdays should just go for between 6-13 mins and Weekends from 9-16 mins leh.
Sv700 have at least 4 DDs during evening peak today. Fleet upgrade?
Originally posted by lemon1974:Sv700 have at least 4 DDs during evening peak today. Fleet upgrade?
More like tikam2,Later next week downgrade to 2 only
Originally posted by lemon1974:Sv700 have at least 4 DDs during evening peak today. Fleet upgrade?
There is no DD loading for 700 for it to have DDs... Another case of messy deployment, will remove them soon.
It could be possible the 2 bendy have been converted to DD, but actually 700 can do full fleet SD, though one of the BC I spoke to said there can be on some AM trips heavy load if bus picks up more pax along BPJ Road (comes before 190 I guess). But PM peak said no DD worthy trip.
Originally posted by BusAnalayzer:No DDs can be spotted on 851 anymore :(
From what I observed with AMDEP/LYDEP A95 fleets, seems that most of the new A95s are now very sticky to 969 these days.
854 have about 3-5 A95s though (not sure how many A95s these days but still several old bendies spotted and the rest majority OC500LE/A22). Have also not seen 3606T lately. Expect to see more A95s instead.
67 not sure how many perm A95 from LYDEP side, probably 1-2? Whereas 61 and 985 is like 1 only?
857 still sticking to its usual E500 fleets as usual.
851 is like DDs appear only for Sun and Mon, after that back to reality. Dunno what is SMRT up to.
Feel that partial duties of 969 should return to WLDEP. Not only because of the distance but also AMDEP/LYDEP can free up some A95s for 851/854 (WLDEP side can use the WEGs for 969 in return).
After a month of observation..
It seems like WLDEP has added more trips for 169A in the morning.. Previously only 3(?) trips..
Lybp 67 now reduce 1 split shift duty.Pls update @ sgwiki.
I don't think 190 got 45 duties,More of crossover duties..Only 40-41 duties.
963 alsoi dont think got 34 duties,Nowadays only 3/4 will perm while others just jumpinh here and there.You must see the number of AM/PM & Split shift BCs..963 i think only 30 duties while the other 4 is just other two svc duties from other svc.
Same case like 386.Perm is only 5 buses but got 2 duties from 82/386 and 119/386 will cover for a few trips.

300 too..spotted at least 5 rigid buses during PM, only spotted 3 bendies...
