Travelling from one end to the other takes 32minutes.
It opened its doors on 20 June 2003.
The line is coloured purple on the rail system map.*bows down to thank for the amazing explanation*

Oh oh i see.
Anyway, i'm not sure if this will be true, but according to the change in 43's online e--schedule, I don't think the Wrights will operate at all on weekends or even public hols. The change is only for normal weekdays and H1 weekdays.

Yours truly by some coincidence, tried to get to IMH from Marine Parade by 43 yesterday. Yours truly had too much time on his hands, was itching for 43's notorious high speed dashes.
Yours truly was truly disappointed when the BC decided to keep behind the 70 in front the entire way so that he didn't have to pick anyone up.
And he drove so slowly that instead of getting off at IMH, yours truly had to stop at NEX for a pee-pee and take 101 back home whilst grumbling about the time wasted (include 15 min wait tmd).
***
I was jogging near along YCK Rd at 6 45pm when I saw 2 43 WEGs bunched up. I had never seen 2 43s together before, nor WEGs on 43. First bus was decently loaded, 2nd bus was empty.
Disgusting waste of resources. That point was further driven home when 20 min later when I reached Sengkang East, a completely empty 163 VO passed me by towards Sengkang.
Yours truly took 5196 on 43 from upp east coast rd today. The bus followed the 70 VO in front ALL THE WAY. Yours truly was in his worst ride ever. in the end yours truly got so annoyed he had to abandon his ride, alight at nex and switch to MRT instead back to sengkang.
Now, after the ride, i observed two hot spots for 43. they are:
1. parkway parade - paya lebar MRT
2. nex - buangkok mrt
5196 was filled to the door at that time, but still can chiong chiong fit the pax in.
Conclusion: Improve Frequency
43 does not need DDs AT ALL. Leave the wrights for DD replacement. A few citaros will do on 43 for frequency improvement.

haha fren if u notice, behind ev sv43 , there will ALWAYS be a sv76,135 following less than 5mins wait...
so NO NEED DDs for sv43, dun even need a few citaros...
just have a short trip for sv43 from Buangkok MRT to nex mall will solve the crowding observed at this heavily used area

AcxDunno la, but since I'm doing up a bus plan ongoing...
This is what I figured, no doubt certain arterial stretches would see duplication between certain MRT station and a HDB estate corridor w/o MRT, the best is it's kept limited to 2 of such svs

59 need more new wright alway pack to the door for SD. Why so many DDs for 58? and 59 waiting time is too long during the hours from 1700 to 1900

Yah SMB128B, one of the horrible OC500LE on 858. Should convert into a training bus not SMB127D, if you think service 43 is a low demand service, think again please, try waiting for 20 mins for this and a SD come see how is like huh, seriously your observan fail
-
If 43 is a high demand service then what was 109, 161 (former HG 20 min frequency services)?
These services are now 10 min frequency services and 161 has a nearly full ADD fleet. But 43 is still 20 min. Don't you think there's a reason for that?
-
eh..
43's AM peak 10 mins QoS peak within peak le
But dun have PM peak QoS yet

Can't u juz stfu and stop offending ppl on yr 8th post? i took 43 as well frequent as the ppl out there, yes, improve frequency will do. coz 43 only hv demand in specific places, at specific times. so YOU think again and see if DDs are really needed anot.
oops, did i offend someone at my 8th post or so too? nvr mind, i at least had stopped most of my flaming anyway. hope this guy will repent like me, i not boasting.

You did offend someone at your 8th post. I've checked your posting records.
But actually, how are you getting someone else to repent when you are not repenting by creating topics at the wrong time?

I suggest a plan:
More Wrights for 58 & 59, other non-WAB DDs shall go to perm other services.

For the gloriousness of sv43's DD, it really dun deserve any DD for any duty shift
Btw do u take or see sv43 evdae?! Coz i do, so i repeat again sv43 is a super duplicated route & if sv43 demand is high y need to wait 20mins!?
Furthermore, sv43 BCs like to crawl behind the main trunk route 70,76, for ev 2 sv70/76, there is a tortise 43
I prob tink u only want to c a DD on sv43, if tts the case, a VO3X will suffice, newer buses can give to more deserving svcs in HG, sv43 is definitely not one of them.

Miserable trunk bus that connects Punggol to area outside HG/Paya Lebar
