Finally, 3354K and 3355H find their home. Great decision to introduce DDs on this service. Whoever said Simei st 1 cannot get DDs

Hope 3347/3348/3349 find their home soon as well...

Sv 851 has only 6 Bendies now... Severe downgrade from 8 Bendies. Similarly 180 used to have a fleet of 12 Bendies... Reduced 1 bendy bus.
while SBST services get fleet upgrades and bus adds, on SMRT side, it is just the opposite.

What is so uncommon for SMRT svc which use bendies?Even 190 with 26 bendies also didnt run 26 bendies as stated..969 also face e same problems..sometimes only 8 bendies the most including splits -

Bunching observationsThen this thread appears
Next we will have threads like...
Buses with spoilt stop buttons
Buses with vandalised seats
Routes with full single deck
Routes with full double deck
Improvement of frequency
Buses with long waiting times
etc.Some observations you (as in everyone) noticed may be so similar in scope with an existing thread that it could be discussed in that thread (eg redeployments for this thread), others are so insignifcant or common (like the bunching thread) that you might as well keep those information to yourselves and learn to suck it up like the rest of the commuters do.
Not everything that you mentioned.

It's simple - threads that are not useful will die away soon... Any thread that crosses 100 posts is good enough and means it is meaningful to certain forumers as even within buses, people can have different interest areas.

I think this might be temporary. I don't see any reason why Sv 62 should have downgrade. Loads still quite high in peak direction of travel.

At the same time upgrade from a non-WAB to WAB.

Is high time to kick SBS1907D and SBS1924D out from 62 and replace with a WEG.

Sv 72 got capacity decrease. 1 SD reduced from fleet. Mostly 9 SDs and 2 DDs operate on 72B. 29 buses are in Sv 72 doing full route.
-
It seems that 161 have downsized to single decks again on weekends...
-
sad to say 119 DDs are running empty and on full shifts on weekends and PHs too while 161 gets downsized when there are long queues at woodlands

But you have now more DDs running on 161 on weekends compared to few months back. So there is capacity increase on 161 even on weekends.

Based on Lsk postings for 161 today, it seems that 161 DD fleets had gone down by more than half the fleet (at least the WAB quota still stands at 75%). I wonder how the single decks handle the load today...

I really agree with u. Indeed it is a very poor planning by HGDEP.
I hope LTA should look into this.

3393 to 119, dont know why

Actually taking 119 everyday can be quite fun lol.
2 kubs, 2 b10ms, 2 wrights and 2 citaros.
Haha. The wrights are there for the sake of BSEP. Those ppl dressed in western suits and replying you with 1 sentence think the demand of Sv 119 would rise like our HDB buildings once Punggol West is fully developed hahaha.
