SBS Transit Service 84's Fleet
-
i have a feeling e new sv82 will get hamtaros soon.
84 gets 1 or 2 bus from 82.

looks like 82 cut 1 bus, that bus goes to 84. and 82 supp 84 during meal breaks on all days. done deal. straightforward and simple.
why make until so complicated... -

my bc friend told me that service 84 will only operate 2 buses. At the frequency at 10-15minutes. Fleet same as service 284M. Buses will loop at punggol road end and go back to the interchange. Service 84 will be deployed with the current old mk lll buses. It will be on trial for 6 months, same as the ex- 181. The bcs can be from service 82 or 83. As 82 is looping @ serangoon central on w.e.f from 3 sept, i believe that svc 82 will cut fleet and 1 bus from service 82 might go to service 84. If i'm not wrong, service 82 will have the same BCs, not replacing them.

@AEW5001 no way man, with the poor wheelchair friendly berths at punggol interchange, it's impossible to get some citaros in there. Never in my life i have seen PIWs boarding svc 136 at punngol int.

If it is because of this, services 3, 34, 43 and 136 would not have declared WAB... -

4 of these services have a second interchange. i have never seen PIWs in punggol interchange boarding these svcs. -
Services of similar mileage have a known minimum trip duration of about 22 minutes, assuming that the road to Punggol Rd End is pretty clear of traffic.

it's one of the most open interchanges.And, all Int are either BFA or are going to (Left with HBF & Toa Payoh).

Should have named it 370 to avoid confusion. It should have been a feeder service. So what happens after the 6 month trial, if so?
-
Feeder services ain't popular nowadays.

Amend lor...
Too little catchment area, tat's the problem.
Fair enough, Hougang onwards should be good enough actually.
As for feeders, no comments, but seriously feeder - trunk concept should be much better as long as in the cases of high loading neighbourhood zones. Same goes for places where the town centre's location is pretty lopsided.

Hougang have too many services. I won't be surprised if they shoot themselves in their own foot by extending to Serangoon again. -

that's just my opinion. we have not seen any new feeder services introduced in recent years, have we?

Hougang...How to put it when I decided to take a look at it... They want svs to ply Kovan, they want svs to ply using the old routing ways (there's a reason to it but hard to explain why)...
Even any changes made to it wun be that easy because it may have implications on some routing connection.

181 ended up got into last MRT extension, 241 came w/ 242's rationalisation.Any case the real feeder services that'll likely to see new net introduction would likely be when Yishun or Woodlands's BTO flat completes.

indeed sv 241 was one of those new services yet they are merely a one-for-one replacement for JW N9 folks. sv 181 looks like it might turn into a true-blue trunk service that connects at least two towns, given the cul-de-sac at the looping point might get extended to somewhere else.

181's arrangement is likely to stay for a few yrs
Anyways tat road is supposed to lead to Corporation Rd
