Bus survey spottings
-
just rode on a bus from bus interchange to my house. Along the way, I observed the number of people alighting at each bus stop.
wanted to write about it at "Bus Observations", but apparently that's for fleet-checking, not.... pattern?
apparently, there is not yet a thread for people to write out their observations on individual alighting/boarding patterns at every bus stop. so, this is what this new thread is for.
----
Was on bus service 243W at around 1735hrs. Bus was SBS8768S.
When bus left the bus interchange, there were about 40 people, still have ample space for more people, but apparently, that's all the people wanting to take 243W.
- 1st bus stop: 3 people alight
- 2nd bus stop: 6 people alight
- 3rd bus stop: around 10 people alight
- 4th bus stop: around 5 people alight
- 5th bus stop: nobody alight
- 6th bus stop: 15 people alight
- 7th bus stop: 3 people alight
by the 7th bus stop, the bus has (almost) "re-cycled" itself. 5th bus stop nobody alight very likely is because people there prefer to take 241/179 instead of 243W. the bulk of the initial loading alighted at St 61 (3rd) and Ave 5 (6th) bus stops.

okay...
wait....
it's not that la...
that one is loading at bus interchange/terminal...
this one is on the travel patterns, etc...
-
you know, last time at Sentosa, got people go on buses record the number of people alighting at bus stops, etc? this is what I am doing.
is there really a thread here which talks about which are the heavily-utilised bus stops along bus routes?
-
siann... okay la... indeed there was such thread...
that thread... but it's so diluted by conversations... and not really clear...
sorry. really quite doubtful about this forum already.
it's like just for people to chat insider's information (including fleet information)...
and.. there's so much politics here... "barrier of entry" very high for newcomers (eg. me).. .when I came in, you all think I was a clone of some one else...
so much.... gangs...
and even the route suggestions is only "accepted" by popularity vote... not really whether the people need it or not...
is this forum really for spotters, or just for people to share and discuss confidential details?
are you all discussing just for fun, or is there really objectives for discussion?
okay. fine. lock this thread. because this thread is created by me, not the more popular ones...
(eg. remember the contracting model thread i created earlier? when i created it, it was locked. weeks/months later, a new thread about it was created, and it is still open today)
hopefully you all do not turn this down by just saying that it is from "special" people or what. thanks.

"Loading level on buses" thread actually contains detailed route analysis where there are people recording the number of people alighted/boarded at each bus stop during a bus journey. Generally everything about loadings/travel patterns etc can be discussed there. -

I am sorry for being a nuisance here. Administrators/Moderators/Managers/Officers/Officials, please lock this thread. Thanks.
