That is why despite having high capacity buses, the frequency of buses will keep >5min 1 bus during peak hrs.

SERIOUS 969?!?!?!?!?!?!902 and 969? I can`t accept it man.Why the hell 902 need to be WAB? and also why 969 need to be WAB when there`s a lot of people boarding this bus service during the peak hours.Aiya,what the heck is SMRT doing? Why not 178 and 961? And only 3 bus services only?
-
Unless they bring over 388S, otherwise turning 969 to WAB is seriously rubbish. I mean what's the rush? Even the intra-town 911 also not going WAB any sooner despite having 4 WAB buses out of 10 buses as perm last year...
-
902 does not need to be WAB. It is a service for few hours catering specially to students of Republic Poly. It has been made WAB by SMRT only to increase its percentage of bus services that are WAB. As usual SMRT is an eyewash. Keep doing stupid things. 969 needs more bendies, and here they make this service WAB. Unbelievable how stupid they behave even on their cash cow services.
-
Anyway, good luck to 969 riders
I've seen some cases where some people stop boarding when there's no seats left on the bus(during peak hours). And I think KJ should send back those OCs in-exchange for MAN~~ -

I think 902 case is because there's some PIW studying in RP? :o

for MAN~~ Yeah,I got saw a 969 normal bus packed like sardines during the peak hours,don`t know what SMRT is doing,should buy more MAN A24 buses to cope with the demand
-
Anyway, I foresee 902 also cock up one~ Unless they get MAN to perm 912/903, WAB quota failed one. And when you gets MAN to perm 912/903, their timing gotta be adjusted so as to meet the load on the route respectively.
-
Aiya,don`t know how SMRT will be able to cope in the upcoming future.Be prepared to receive complaints,ok? SMRT?

Photo looks familiar..
Where did you got it from? -
Dun be surprised if there's 4 A24s perm on 969.Plus Amdep will definitely deploy 2 OCs.
-
Good that the PIWs can now enjoy a direct bus ride from Sengkang/Punggol to Yishun and now Woodlands. First come 85, now 965 joins in.
Now is left with 161 to turn WAB by replacing all the outgoing B1 VO3x with WEGs.

I hope RWS8 have mixture of old buses and mark as WAB.
RWS8 might as well withdraw and all the OC500LEs can come to good use to boost up the WAB quota for those in need.

Duty 857 S152 - 857 is also a WAB service, this slot should be replaced by a WLDEP MAN to benefit both sides
Duty 859 S159 - 859 is also a WAB service, this slot should be replaced by a WLDEP MAN to benefit both sides
-
Finally 965!!!
Good luck to 969 though. Maybe worst comes the worst will have to follow 27's method of operation.

Wheelchair-bound student study at RP but its a very small percentage though but im not sure if they want to take 902 to RP. Normally see wheelchair-bound students alighting from cars around RP
-
I am really trying hard to visualize 969 without bendies. AM/PM split bendies are pack to the door at times.

Bendy remains, AMDEP pump in OCs, WLDEP pump in MAN to replace the non-WAB rigids, probably that should met the criteria.
I want to see if SMRT is really making full use of SMB388S firstly. If they are, they should transfer over to WLDEP, test out on WAB svc rather than putting to KJ190(which is useless).

14/15 out of 23 buses still ok if whole rigid fleet is WAB.
-
I still believe there will be at least 20% WAB bendies.Amdep already deploy 4 A22s,Another 3 OCs and Wldep got 5 A22s pump in 2 more then probably they decided to bring in A24s who know right?
-
Possible to have 2 different higher capacity buses(DD/Bendy)? With DDs all under AM/KJ and all Bendy under WLD/WLB?
-
Never rule out the possibilities

SERIOUS 969?!?!?!?!?!?!965 going WAB means they will kick those May '95 buses out of revenue svc first. Buses like 507M won't be going out first.
969's case would be possible if they can double the buses available.
Actually they are making the Yishun side more to the WA side rather than to other areas.
