  Most of them transfer to KJ to facilitate 173 WAB status. While others went to AMDEP

  979M demand not very good, happened to be at Opp Blk 765 today at 7am and 1.30pm, where the school is nearby..

  0715: SMB127D (307) - fully seated with around 15 standing, 10-15 students alighted

  0720: SG1747K (979M) - around 7-9 pax only, only 3 students alighted

  0725 at Blk 765 (Twd YT): SMB3117M (307E) - looked fully seated with standing pax(cant really see due to condensation on window), 10-15 students alightwd

  
  

  
  

  1320: SMB3131X (307E) - full, still had around 20 students at bus stop after

  1330: OC500 (307) - cleared all pax at the the bus stop that wanted to board

  1345: SG1747K (979M) - bus was empty, only 2 students boarded..

  
  

  
  

  they should have done these for 979M:

  - increase frequency (at least 15min) with more buses

  - call at Yew Tee MRT

  
  

  thoughts?

  Hi TIB 585L

  Firstly, apologies for making assumptions. Indeed, I am still used to making assumptions when I am trying to get rid of the habit. Do pardon my behaviour since I am very different from you.

  In fact, I have actually rode 858 for only 6 years since 2010, therefore I do not know much about the route a lot than you. 

  Though I would suggest if you can be cooler next time so to prevent yourself from making harsh replies. Not forcing you to change, but just my suggestion. No hard feelings, too.

  27 and 34 because of JB registration of KUBs.

  150 loading is awful. Need to withdraw or modify.

  15

  Eunos Interchange <> Pasir Ris Interchange

  150 (withdraw sv 11)

  Lor 1 Geylang <> Bartley Road (East)

  Lor 1 Geylang

  Sims Ave

  Mountbatten Road

  Stadium 

  Tanjong Rhu Road

  Rhu Cross

  Tanjong Rhu Road

  Fort Road / ECP (exp)

  Tanjong Katong Road South

  Mountbatten Road (exp)

  Amber Road

  Marine Parade Road

  Tehlok Kurau Road

  Joo Chiat Place

  Still Road

  Jalan Eunos

  Eunos Link

  Ubi Ave

  Ubi Road 3

  Ubi Ave 3

  Kaki Bukit Ave 2

  Kaki Bukit Road 2

  Kaki Bukit Ave 3

  Bartley Road East

  Kaki Bukit Road 4

  Kaki Bukit Road 6

  Bartley Road East and back (looping point)

  Advantages:

  - Connects Tanjong Rhu to Marine Parade (a connection that has been missing for years)

  - 15 can be cut short to Eunos with majority DD fleet

  - Connects new MRT station of UBI to UBI, Kaki Bukit north industrial estates

  - sv 11 gets better utilized due to extension as sv 150 and #11 can be used for another route.

  Con

  - Connection to Marine Crescent/Terrace removed as route would become winding (alternate option of sv 13 to Eunos MRT still exists).

  No need to think so much,Just make 150 ply parkway parade after Telok Kurau and remove S15 from Telok Kurau and straightaway loop at MP..Can utilise a few DDs too.

  imo during peak hours observe better, not many students from that school would go to BP from there

  Actually can transfer 40 OC500LE to Wldep/Wlbp while the remaining with Kjdep and Amdep.Citaros can stay with Amdep or even with Kjdep.

  Brief observation from Svc 39 DD from Loyang to Yishun at 0630

  Upper deck is full from Blk 115 onwards. Only start to empty from Khatib onwards.

  Svc 39 KUB caught up at Jln Kayu, also packed to door.

  Hi mr ButIAmAToilet, just curious to know if you know the timing of departure for the sbs39 KUB? Cheers. Thanks.

  Not exactly sure. I know the DD reach Loyang Ave towards Yishun at 0630 though. It is the bus after this DD.

  I cannot understand something. Why does sv 85 have more DDs than sv 39 when sv 39's loading is, I think, >> sv 85's? I know sv 85 has petential to have high loading in future when occupancy in Sengkang West has rissen. For the time being, deploying the DDs to other needy services, such as sv 43, which have seen higher loading after the removal of sv 76 from Marine Parade, would be a better decision.

  Hi mr sbs6750E, that time before sbs 85 got DDs, they announce that sengkang west MP Dr Lam lobbied hard for it. At that time, there was only sbs 85 along that sector and it was single deck some more. The single deck sbs 85 was very crowded during peak hours, being the only service. So DDs for sbs 85 was given. The MP continued to lobby for more bus services for his estate and LTA provides for another new service sbs 102 and also opened kupang LRT station for revenue service. Cheers. Thanks.
