Places which have heavy human traffic for bus services
-
I start with SMRT Buses that i did know..Others can contribute for SBST.
S61:From Bt Batok to Singapore Poly.Then Bugis all the way to Macpherson.From Eunos to BBT Harbourfront to Tanglin Halt.Then Bt Timah Rd to BBT.
S67,Needless to say just like 190 except 190 is more champion.Last bus also packed like siao.67 more champion during weekend at Serangoon both ways.190 3 mins 1 bus also can get packed crazy sial..
S77.BBT to that school.Then Holland Rd to Orchard after that empty.Other way from Orchard to Holland Rd,Then loads are average.
S75.Can be very unpredictable,But since KJDEP take over the headway is better than WLDEP times.The routes are quite messy but the loads can be very heavy too on certain areas.
S106.One of SMRT Cashcow services.The revenue for this particular services is top 4.
S167/173/178/852/858/922/882/962/965/985 are all average.Not too packed not too empty.Justified to use rigids.
S300,302,307,804,806,811,812,945,Woodlands feeders and town link all justified to have either bendy as crossovers or majority in their fleets.
169.Really crazy during school hours from WDL to Rep Poly.Then after that to Senoko during AM peak.After that a strecht of road at Yis to MRT.
171.Really desperate to have bendy during peak hours and Weekends.My suggestion to have some OCs exchange with 3 851 bendies then let WLDEP control a few duties with bendies slots.171 can full AMDEP Liao.Ever drive this service before one time and i get dizzy with full pax almost entire journey.
172 peak hours and weekends.Especially BNL to CCK,Scary to see the pax q at the berth.
176.Another cashcow serice particularly on Weekdays.Weekends can just use 4 bendies no problem.
177.Army guys?Can the expert explain?
180 @ 184.Needless to say.You can elaborate more.Having joyrides in these 2 services make me undertsand why they need full bendies.
187.Many connection.23 fleets for such a medium route makes me wonder why they need so much buses for till i joyride in my friend bendy bus.
188,189,700,851,856,960,969.Except for S700 I dun understand why only 1 perm bendy.Pity my cousin every weekday morning have to target bendy bus depart from BPJ to Town area.
854.Pack during weekday peak hours through and flow.Weekends also unpredictable.Current fleet are acceptable.
853.Weekday peak hours and Sunday routes.Think Sunday should use bendies for PM shift.
855.Need fleet addition rather than bendies.The only heavy loads is from HBF to Bt Purmei and Bt Merah.
857.Need bendies crossover during weekdays Peak hours.Weekends needless to say.
969.Current fleets are better.Nice planning to have 7 perm bendies versus just 4 last time.Off peak only 2 bendies running from both depot.
980.Desperate to have at least 3 bendies as perm fleet.Those rigids cant cope with the pax.But Lor 1 Terminal is the biggest obstacle.Only 1 parking space for bendies.

Indeed 190 is one of the busiest bus services SMRT operates. Can stand all the way to/from orchard. This is especially true during peak hours, weekends and holidays.
Anyone waited for more than 5 buses when taking this service?

For SBST, 179 probably has the highest demand, followed by 27, 74, 238 etc. -
ya ya ya 190!!!
�怖!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
185 - during AM peak (around 8am plus onwards)... Stretch of Clementi Ave 6 starting from clementi ave 6's PIE exit to commonwealth ave west junction
it will get worst if got accident. it did happen yesterday.
-
To be exact, service 177 is often packed only for the sector between MINDEF and Bt Batok. MINDEF-Bt Panjang loads are not that high in comparison.
Service 171 is especially problematic because it is a very long route that passes through a number of jam-prone areas. This is made even worse as SMRT had drastically reduced the layover time at Marina Centre such that many drivers literally drive a loop service when there is a jam. When bunching occurs, the loads would get scary between Orchard and Bt Panjang on weekday evenings.

Service 143
AM peak towards TPY.
The early stretch of Pasir Panjang Road will be conjested with cars towards Heng Mui Kang Terrace. Another Road that is easily conjested is West Coast Highway. Especially the roundabout.
PM Peak towards TPY
The junction of New Bridge Road and Upper Cross Street. Used to be a 4 lane road, but became 1 lane due to the construction of DTL. Need to 2-3 times of stopping to turn into Upper Cross Street. -
15 for sure..
around 8.30am, 10.30am, from pasir ris int all the way to TP machiam express service already during TP school term.
-
of course 190.
last sunday, i took the first bus from town area. (NBR - CCK)
pack to the brim due to last saturday Halloween.
first bus already full. -
every svc has their own demands
it may not be possible to list all of them in 1 short.
-
903 also. For RPians and workers during the peak hours.
After school days, 903 (towards WRI) also ended up being packed, got two bus stop to 'fetch' them -Riverside Road and WDL Ave 2 stop.
For RPians, they choose to take 3 buses- 169, 902 and 903. See which buses come first, then can take first.
For 99, the main loads are from Jurong N7, N8 and N9. They need to go market at N5 or Boon Lay to buy food, especially during weekends.
Jurong JJC Stop (Block 538) is very crowded too during their school days.

Places that i know..
Teck Whye Ave at 1 - 2pm. Super busy as students from CCKSS, TWSS & PJC take 190/307/985/975 in both direction (except for 307). 975 is the most packed one (for LCK direction), since the route is diff than 985 and 190. 307 would olso be packed with students, but surprisingly its quite 'empty' when u take 307E.

oh yes but sometimes its load is very erratic due to the many 散客 who could have boarded services that happen to duplicate the route it is taking but those didn't arrive. -
