Woodlands Intra-town observed frequencies
911 --> 03-04 mins
912 --> 05 mins
913 --> 04 mins
* Guess 911 has the best frequency of the three given that 911 has max rigids... around 11/16...
* Given that 912 still has 50% fleet as bendies, the frequency is at 05 mins
* This shows that when HC->rigid, you need to do massive fleet add and frequency beef up. People would see this as good as frequency improves, but in reality with the traffic at Woodlands Interchange and checkpoint, it leads to buses bunching with first rigid getting packed to door and delayed causing 3 buses to bunch regularly.

With spamming of rigids,Its impossible to not having the best frequencies

Try observing 901 frequency during peak hours..

901 power ah. SD n bendy bunching at the exit of WTBI
238 I think also power. Bunch at boarding berth always. Sometime the 3rd bus also go turn one round first.

CCK Feeders & Intra-towns
300 --> 02-03 mins
Like 806, sv 300 has one of the best frequencies. Frequency was reduced to 04 mins after launch of 301/983, but suddenly 05 more buses were pumped into 300, to bring the frequency to 02-03 mins. In addition, has a decent number of bendies.
301 --> 07-08 mins
Still operating with 05 buses. Surprisingly, didn't get any fleet add in spite of Keat Hong Close BTOs opening up. Instead, sv 300 is the one that keeps getting more buses
302 --> 02-03 mins
Another service that operates at 02-03 mins frequency and still has a high number of bendies. Though at one time was a full fleet bendy. Bunching out of CCK Interchange itself of 2 bendies is a common sight.
307 --> 03-04 mins
IMO, this service has got one of the best frequency improvements. Operating at 08-10 mins at one point in time, not sv 307 operates at 03-04 mins though there has not been any new BTO development along its route.
308 --> 07-08 mins
New service, may get fleet add in future.
Bukit Panjang Feeders
920 --> 06-07 mins
922 --> 06-07 mins
Both used to operate with 03 buses at frequency of 10-15 minutes each before BSEP. Before DTL2, the frequency was 09-10 mins. Now after DTL2, both have 09 buses at a frequency of 06-07 mins + supplemented by full fleet DD 972 at 05-06 mins frequency.
svc 72 operates at 03 minutes frequency between the observed time of 1650-1710 from Tampines Interchange. 7 DDs departed in an interval of 20-22 minutes from interchange.
Isn't that too excessive?
After 1710, observed DDs left every 05 mins from interchange, which I think is more reasonable. Didn't observe any SDs during this period. Earlier you would have SDs from svc 72B departing from Tampines Interchange during this period.

not excessive considering the no of buses sv72 have and the demand as well.. sv72 is schedule to bunch... it is the same situation during am peak at YCK as well. one bus still picking up paxes, the next bus wait behind already..
wont have much SD right now on sv72 due to ITE holidays...

Most of the loading is from AMK Ave 5 to YCK MRT. Isn't it? Not sure why 03 min frequency is required for full route.
I think 05 min with DDs is good enough. 03 mins I find it excessive as 2/3 DDs won't use half its capacity.
Today svc 3 pattern quite funny after the 3/1 new schedule..
From 0700-1055 i see SD,SD,SD,SD,DD,SD,DD,SD,SD,SD,DD and SD.
From 1730-2000 i see DD,SD,SD,SD,SD,SD,SD,DD,SD,SD
