* Highest loading: 12 passengers to Tampines St 86, 4 passengers to Tampines Concourse

* Zero boarding and alighting observed from Tampines Ave 8 to Tampines Ave 10, mainly because that area is mostly under construction.

* Zero boarding and alighting observed from Tampines Ave 8 to Tampines Ave 3, probably because that area already has many bus routes; no need for another bus route.

* Zero boarding and alighting observed from Tampines Ave 7 to Tampines Concourse, mainly because that area is relatively undeveloped.

* To improve the loading, the authorities can consider increasing awareness of the route, and connecting the route to Tampines West station at Tampines Ave 4.

* The upcoming developments around Tampines Ave 8 may increase the loading by 50 passengers, assuming every bus stop has 10 passengers boarding or alighting.

* This route may be well-received in future.

It is a brand new route. Give it some time. Do the same loading analysis in Jan 18. Surely will hit 50-60 pax in AM towards MRT and around 40-50 pax in PM towards st 86.

298 route length justified to use DD if the loading is high but for now full SDs is adequate.

Loading observations at bus stop 84209 (Bedok Reservoir Stn Exit B, southbound into Bedok), 27 Oct 2017 (Fri) evening 1724 - 1932 hrs

- Due to bus stop's metal barrier, upper decks of DDs are not visible. All loadings above 20 are estimations. Not all bus registration plates are recorded. Unconfirmed numbers for boarding / alighting are omitted.

(I left at 1933; next 46 scheduled at 1943)

==========================================

Comments:

- Not quite a heavy loading bus stop during PM peak (possibly due to Friday)
- Few alightings at this time
- 46 sees decent demand, but not worthy enough for DDs; need to check AM Peak & other workdays
- 168 frequency & loading quite consistently high
- 66 & 228 occasionally receive higher loading, but mostly headed for Bedok Central. In contrast, loading at opposite bus stop is high (see below)
- 28 & 69 sees a few random peaks

Further observations at Bedok North (60, 137), Tampines East (4, 18, 293 / 3, 8, 9, 12, 38) and Upper Changi (2, 5, 24) may also be insightful.

Looks like 137 is doing well even when it's introduced for just 1 week.

And still full fleet SD...

That’s one off given 12-14 mins frequency..Opp direction still half empty during peak hours...All SD is more than enough for this service.Only the bus i boarded is filled up cause BC also drive too relaxed.

* Highest loading = 35

* Very low loading between Upper East Coast Bus Terminal and Bedok North Avenue 2, probably due to the availability of many bus routes and the close proximity to Bedok MRT Station.

* This route is used by Bedok residents to connect to Bedok North MRT Station, and by Ubi residents to connect to Ubi MRT Station.

* Overall, the loading is okay, with most of the loading concentrated at Bedok North, Kaki Bukit and Ubi.

So you copy exactly my style of loading analysis :)

Noticed that from your analysis, that around 17 pax from Bedok North Estate actually go further than Ubi because alighting is poor at Kaki Bukit estate. I am surprised that those from Bedok North actually take 137 to go to UBI when 137 is winding. Maybe they prefer that it is direct??

I am not surprised. People working in Kaki Bukit estate for years have had no bus service. They rely on private bus services or other modes of travel. It is going to take them some time to change their pattern. It is the same for some Tuas services and svc 47 when it was launched. It will pick up in few months.

Hi mr SG1131, yes residents use bus to connect to nearest mrt. 860 crowd all goes to 807 since 860 does not pass by khatib mrt anymore. This also shows mrt as main mode of transport. Buses will always be second to mrt. Cheers. Thanks.

* When the bus was at Buangkok Link, there was bus service 101 in front, which had around 5 passengers.

* As compared to other bus services, this service has considerably low loading.

* To optimize resources, the authorities can consider merging this service with other bus services.

wow... the loading is even below my expectations... I thought at least around ave 9 the loading would pick up in AM... but maybe there was 72/72A/116 in front?? 101 usually gets 30-40 pax in AM towards Hougang from Buangkok Link...

* Highest loading = 12

* Surprised that there are even passengers; was expecting zero passenger throughout the journey.

* The passengers are all construction workers knocking off from work.

* Have a feeling that this service was launched early just for the construction workers to get to the inner part of Bukit Batok West, which is further away from the surrounding roads where the existing bus services ply.
