wow wow. Nice English There. Anyway. You think it is that easy to get more bus services running? Well JEMP is already there to reduce the traffic Load At Jurong East. 22 New Trains Were Bought & they all need time to be done. Both SBS Transit & SMRT are Short of Buses therefore they cant start new routes. SBST is so short of buses until they have to extend the leylands that were suppose to go. ordering and delivery of buses takes Time you have to understand that. You cant possibly want 250 buses and it will be delivered right away. Increase in the number of trains and better signalling(Even though it takes very long to upgrade) would be the best solution now. and think if manpower change working timings den wouldnt all the company's follow den wun The trains Still be packed??? Wouldnt The peak hour follow as well??? Nothing can be perfect so is singapore's govt. compare how much passengers can a bus hold & how much passengers a train can hold? of cos the train is more reliable
hope more train will help ... with so many ppls going to one place at the same time ....
should give more option, like 2 express service to town I can take 67 but they to many stop end up I late ....
if got express bus, they stop base on the downtown line 2 it sure help alot during peck hour .... I hear they increase the buses , hope there changes in services.
if the bus upgrade to express for long distance, short service near to replan thr route make it much better. CCk short service bus SUCK !
last week I took 300 it took me more than 20min to reach sunshine place ..... where is so near .... planning is very important ... upgrade , I leave here so long I never like the bus service, but like 243 G & 243 W is a good idea to reduce the travelling time .

there alot of thing GOV can do but ....
Have you wrote in to LTA directly?
You may not get what you want, but it helps to add to the numbers. (and hopefully pressure on LTA)

Wait till SBS Transit sees this, then they might just order 200 of them in future.

SBS Transit might not buy anymore bendies. There is a reason why SBS998Y and SBS999U were sold. -

cut down the stop ....you can have express bus by following the MRT Stop , like from the downline 2 only 13 stop , 67 just follow that la .... save alot of time .

Relax.
We still have a few more years before the population hits 6 million.
Enjoy your bus and MRT rides as much as you can now.

it's not going to be well taken cos lots of ppl still have e mindset buses must stop at all minor or major bus stops. -
There are recent newspaper reports stating that some bus services will be getting more bigger capacity buses. Aren't the bus operators just plucking some of the bendies and double-decks from other routes to insert into these routes? And what happened to those "downgraded" routes?

Cite some examples - Sv 22.With CCL, the demand for Ang Mo Kio - Ubi stretch has been significantly reduced, hence not only reduce 1 S shift.

I think that these 'downgraded routes'(A) have actually a v. high demand.However,SBS and SMRT(these are just predictions) sees a bus service with a higher demand(B) and thus puts extra buses from these services to the 'higher-demand' ones.The demand for service A however still remains the same,and we would soon see empty buses on A and packed buses on B.So this is sort of a chicken-and-egg problem,really. -

Extra Capacity Services
S5's DD was taken from the spare fleet, swapped with a single deck.
S58's DD was swapped with Service 70's SD. Means a single deck went S70 for obvious reasons that demand has dropped since CCL opened.
S78's DD was taken from the spare fleet
S174's DD was taken from the spare fleet, swapped with a single deck.
S240's DD were taken from spare fleet, the 2 K230s went to the spare fleetExtra Trip Services
S15's extra trips were made possible by a fleet addition of 1 single deck from the spare fleet
S17's extra trips were made possible by a fleet addition of 1 single deck from the spare fleet
S97s extra trips were made possible by a fleet addition of 1 single deck from the spare fleet
S410's extra trips were made possible by having a S55 bus crossing over to the service. S55 had some trip adjustments but total trips during peak period remained the same. Its about reallocation of the split shift duty timing.So which service received a 'downgrade'?
