aircon DD to be exact. or in LTA's context, anything before central planning took over is not considered. then again i'm not sure if that paragraph came from SBST or not..

LTA anyhow only...
Should deploy more bendies to 854 and 969...161 should have full fleet DDs..

they did not do anything to Sv857/969... just play mahjong only.. shift buses here and there... like that also call improvement? where the extra bendies coming from? when they added bendies to certain services, they call it improvement, then what about the service that have their bendies removed? never mention? keep quiet?

Just buy more Citaro Gs!!! Easier get more capacity!!
-
I'm not asking 856 to convert full fleet SDs.
804 and 806 can't cope if they have SDs.
Yes, i agree that SMRT should buy more Citaro Gs, MAN Bendies and Scania bendies -
but LTA dun give a hoot to have bendies in the design of new BI anymore
-
856 now got 13 bendies and 3 SDs if you took out 1 then chaos liao.Not many svc travel inline with 856 especially Senoko areas.856 used to be full Amdep with 55% bendies in its fleet and got numerous complains during peak as pax cannot board the buses even for 2nd bus.Unless 981 amend to run full day and extend loop @ Marsiling then it's diff stories
Who says 804/806 can't cope with at least 1 SD in its fleet?SBST 240 also pack then how come still manage with only 35% DDs??Its a matter of runtime adjustment and the driver itself.

But if 2 Bendies replace by 3 SDs can right? since WLDEP have many spare O405
I noticed that 806 is getting slower nowdays... -
856 cases is epic.Senoko there is the main problem.All the workers die die take thus svc unlike 169.
806 you know why?Simple already short route runtime also short then got 10 bendies and how on earth during peak you need to follow the timecard??806 there's no need to out 6 perm S shift bendies just 3-5 crossover will do.They should deploy those bendies on svc like 171,851,857

But Yishun East Developing. Need to have trunk service there..

Yes, i agree that SMRT should buy more Citaro Gs, MAN Bendies and Scania bendiesForget about bendies. Bring in double deckers.
Every morning peak is always a nightmare of long and delayed bus queues, all because of these bendy buses.

tts whr ur wrong!
hav u tried looking at s/806 loading just bef and after 7am on weekday peak, by the time da bus reach ys st 31 is already very packed, then da last few stops along ring rd bef gg back to av 11 is the killer stops, every 3-5 min got one crowd of pax waiting thr. 6 perm s shift bendy is very well justified, and in case u dunno thr are a few xovers to s/806 too.
its runtime is nt short, 30 min for a route tt short is alr sufficient u shld see how slow some of da buses drive along ctrl. but 806 just nid tt 2-3 min peak freq to clear tt damn high loading, its like the smrt version of s/238 or s/241..
-
Just wondering, why suddenly svcs 804 and 806 loading went high ??? Before 2004, 804 has full fleet SDs and 806 operate during Wkdays peak hour only...
