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...
Frankly speaking i prefer to take SDs, i dun mind taking KUBs too on 161 as long i feel that my ride along the expressway is fast. I feel that the wrights are crawling on SLE/TPE. It seems that the gear seems to be locked at 55km/h? In the past 161's last bus used to be a B10M strider and some damn suay pax will be left stranded now thankfully 161 weekday fleet fully DD.

Capacity increase on 972 - 3501 to 3503 BSEP
3 SD slots converted to DD.
-
3393Y posted to Sv 119. I highly doubt 119 would get one more BSEP and that too DD
Can someone confirm? -
I dont think it's true. There was once 119 had an extra dd cameo but it's very very rare.
on the other hand, 115 with a BSEP citaro fleet add.
-
same to sv 109 DD add !

I believe this is the 2nd add as the earlier press release mentioned there was a bus add from SBST side as well when 109A was introduced. -

Abit OT, but as far as I know, it's very hard to find any of the new buses that will go beyond the 60kmh limit because the speed limiter + ECU will cut in much more on the newer buses compared to the older ones. (somehow can say that the 'computer' on the newer buses are smarter uh)
User a GPS speedometer and you'll see the difference when you take a Citaro / KUB vs the Mk4s. In fact, there's a quite a number of Mk4s with the speed limiter broken somehow.
I take one such bus everyday in the morning and the average speed for 5 weekdays along TPE / SLE stretch usually is about 77kmh from the GPS. -
Agree. Thats y i dislike DDs esp wrights and tridents on expressways... VO batch 3 also quite slow. VO batch 1/2, MK4s and B9TL CDGE can chiong onli
-
Did sv 268 get DDs today?

Was it supposed to get? AMDEP has been taking very few WEGs this year. -

168 Wrights can fly.
It managed to overtake my (comparatively) crawling 965 quite occasionally.

Where got? 9 SD plus 3353/3352 plus 2 more dd on 72B. Dun forget 3349 also have the perm sticker
-
Off topic abit but I suspect that 83 seems to have gotten a new downroute s-shift fleet add on the day it turned WAB. SBS6750E came into perm 83 but it seems that none of the buses are out.
Can someone confirm this?
-
Is there an additional bus added to 160? Seems like all the buses are spotted and there is 8210J on 160 too.

Weren't you the one who said 3349 sticker is from the time it was perm in the initial month!? 72B had 12-13 buses, now has 11 buses. Isn't that capacity decrease? Unless you have other info.

Downroute from where to where?
-
Capacity Increase on sv 69 - 3400K (BSEP add)
This is one of the best additions done by BSEP. Great job.
Sv 69 has huge loads from Bedok to Tampines Ave 1, and also between Tampines Ave 8 to Tampines Interchange. Apart from misconception that 69 is a student service, observe during PM peak, a lot of residents board sv 69 to get to houses around Tampines Ave 5, 8 where 69 is the quickest option (alternative is 293 that goes a merry go round via ave 4, 3, 8).

I say it MIGHT be from the initial month. But so far it have been on 72 for the past one month.
There are 13 buses on 72B. 4 Citaro 3 kub 2 mk4 2 BSEP wright plus 2 more random DD (one of them usually is 7428)

Sengkang int back to Punggol, 2 trips in the morning. Plus somemore dunno where start. This is what I saw from the 83's ett thanks to the WAB implementation.
-
From sgwiki, 2 BSEP adds for sv 410
1 WEG, 1 Citaro.
I think adding 1 bus was good enough considering during peak there are so many crossovers already managing the load pretty well. Unless those crossovers are going to reduce.
So now 2 perm DDs for sv 410 + crossover 2-3 DDs usual.

Shouldn't the added capacity have been from Punggol to Sengkang instead? Because that is where sv 83 loading can get terrible at times. -
sgwiki updates are funny. This afternoon I checked. 3397 was posted to 161, 3399 was posted to 109 and 3393 update for 119 was deleted. Now, 3393 is back on 119 and the updates to 3397/3399 have been deleted while that to 3403 has been added.
