Originally posted by BusAnalayzer:300 has a lot of SDs spamming also. 983 got upsize because the loading towards BPJ has increased considerably especially in AM. DDs carry 90+ pax between 0745 and 0815am and SDs are packed to door, unless they are back to back.
On the contrary loading between CCK and CCK Ave 4/5 has dropped somewhat. DTL effect.
300 fleet getting confusing these days.On some days,the BD BC drive A22 as well.
857 getting quite few bendy cameos even on weekdays. 800/804/806/807 almost all bendies converted to DDs except some random bendies. 811/812 still have mostly bendies and not DDs.

812 is mostly SD now.
Spotted a small numbers of E500s on 811 recently.

Loading on 812 has dropped a lot. East loop loading has been somewhat taken away by 805 and west loop loading has been taken by 807. Full SD fleet is okay for 812 now.

Yes thats what I figured as well. They can actually divert a service like 39 or 85 or 117 to Yishun St 61 and withdraw 812.

My suggestion would be:
1) Extend 859 to loop at Yishun st 61 via Yishun Central (no loss of route for 812 in east loop).
2) For west loop, 860 can be routed as follows.
Sembawang Interchange >> Sembawang Dr >> Sembawang Road >> Yishun Ave 5 >> Yishun Ring Road >> Yishun Ave 2 >> Yishun Central >> Yishun Ave 9 and continues current route...
Or if this is complicated, simply convert 812 to feeder 802.
More buses better rides and congested interchange

300 PM from 9pm to 10pm: 4 SDs 4 BDs, 3 NWAB, 5 WAB
For 983, a DD BC drove SMB1650C today...
857 keeps getting a bendy almost every day... weird SMRT deployments...

Yup correct. There was a Hispano on 857 yesterday.
I got a strange feeling after the old bendies is retired,there will be another small number of bendies purchased by LTA.Maybe 30-40 units the most...especially for height restrictions service

300 now 60% rigid, 40% bendy fleet
302 is coming close to 50% bendy and 50% rigid fleet
979 is 90% DD and 10% SD

From sgwiki:
300: 7 A22 & 5 Bendy.
However, how many S BD are there for 300? I feel that 300 have 6-7 bendy buses leh.

I don't think that many bendy anymore... Some days 4 bendies, some days 5... this is what I observed when I was doing a project in CCK-BPJ area. Loading also has dropped for both 300 and 983 towards CCK (still high but not as high as it used to be). On contrary, 983 is going packed to door towards BPJ and that's where the DDs are getting v well utilized.

Due to those Yishun feeders getting massive DD upgrades instead of the trunk services, all thanks to the stupid Seletar package coming up.
Unlike WLDEP side that has a stand of not deploying DDs on feeders and intra-towns.

Sooner or later Wldep also have to use DD for their feeders,it's a matter of time unless LTA bought more Bendies for feeders.I don't mind long distance feeders/Intratowns using DDs...but not those short distance that usually pax board for less than 5 stops..

IMO that's not a valid argument. For instance, 807 cannot survive without DDs, 806 needs the DDs for PM more than AM. 800/811 has very few DDs (1 or 2 on most days), 803/805/812 have none, 804 have a few.
AMDEP needs to take in more DDs and kick out more rigids from its fleet.

800 804 806 had been using NWAB old bendies all those while, similar to Woodlands feeders as SMRT has a stand of not deploying DD on feeders for now.
It is the upcoming Seletar package that Yishun feeders benefitted using new DDs while Woodlands side continue to use those old bendies. Ended up the old bendies from 800 804 806 are running around other services now (including 857). 811 812 still using bendies though.

Having the lifespans extended for about 6 months until June 2018.
Hispanos still on 171 lol
Think got 3 today

Thats because 171 route is not DD-able and there are not enough A24's to go around.
