Low loading bus routes
-
We always talk about high loading routes - I thought may be interesting to list down which routes are kinda under-utilized and don't have good loading as we could give route suggestions.
For me, the low loading bus routes are 11, 32, 40, 54 (the loading on this route has dropped considerably over the past months), 155.
What are yours?

DEFINITELY 84

Is 926 ever high?

Service 11 can get extremely full when the stadium holds some event or things...
But since CCL Stadium Station opened, Service 11 load dropped considerably.
For me, I never seen 112 full before. 115 may be considered. -
354

Although 112's buses dont get full, still can see a few standees on mk4s during am peak. Ok so low loading routes : 11,32,40,42,84,191,354, and 119 during school holidays and peak hours. 136 considered low? I hardly see 136 full. however i find this topic contradicting.. Is the topic asking about low loading bus routes during off peak hrs? Peak hours? School hours or??

103 has high loadings. What for the service 100 crossover when the load isnt high.

Up/Down. But if im not wrong, it's most of the time high loading.

275
A useless duplicate of service 131. What's more crappy frequency of 30min...

for sv 11, I think it should be withdrawn since we have the CCL Stadium stn right in front of Kallang Leisure Park and Stadium. And passengers can take CCL to Paya Lebar stn to transfer to EW line. Or take to Dakota stn and transfer to other bus sv. Or else, only operate sv 11 whenever there's concert or major events going on. sv 400 & 402 is kinda of a waste and due to the routes, both are unable to merge as one. And 402 going to the cruise terminal is mainly empty. -

It is the overall loading in general. If the peak hour loading is <30, I would call it low loading. Also if 32 for instance is high loading for 3-4 stops but for 90% of its route has <30 pax, I would call it low loading.

I think 6 can be pretty loaded, hence 50% fleet is DDs. 194 has uni-directional loading, other side is empty.

Yes agree. There is no need of 275 when 131 is there, and has pretty good frequency too.

Any sane person would prefer taking CCL and changing at PL.

Not sure about 136. why would there be 2 DDs to support the route, if the loading is low???
-
of course those low-loading services hail from all single-deckered/non bendies services where demand is so so only
there are also certain services which encounter a significant dip in the demand/load during school holidays

problem is.. if you're at Kallang taking as new trip... There's no pt taking CCL either.. The travelling time on EWL, transfer time, CCL leg makes little diff... -

136 has a high loading during peak hours, From Punggol to Kovan MRT, that's why you see 2 DD crossover and service 119 duplicating some parts..

Not all routes with dds are crowded.. 136 doesn't need dds.. -
I am darn sure it has more people than 113.
Please take bus more often.
Maybe you are too young.
But 136 had DDs in the past too.
LO2X. I still recall it was the only DD service to ply Serangoon Gardens. Or perhaps other services had DDs but I wasn't around to witness that.

Would be better to extend 11 to Eunos via East Coast Rd, Katong and Still Rd and extend the other way to Harbourfront via MBS and Keppel Rd.
