  I wonder which is the new PGL-BSH route. In fact, 82 can be extended to BSH.

  
  82 can be extended to Shenton Way via MBS. It creates a link for Northeast residents to city and MBS.

  For now, the total is 300 just nice, provided SBS6169J is repaired... But if SBS6169J is still at C&C means it hits the 300 mark already...

  Its already 300 or don't tell me SBS6169J converted to BSEP rego and became one of them?

  Just took another trip on the BSEP Citaro(6316B) on 168, can really say it's totally useless. Why? Bus lambat badly when stuck in jams~ No point really introduce BSEP when there's jam, because BSEP buses still used the same route(just fleet addon). 

  Not to do with the bus model, SBS9404R also bunch and jam together~ Both bus skipped their break(pity them) as the reach WRI at 6:51pm. I wonder if LTA could really reduce the no. of cars directly instead of putting ERP? The first ride was much better(bus arrived at 6:30pm).

  Anyway, a bendy bus on 969 over took this Citaro & DD and somewhat reach WRI earlier than them .___."

  obviously if the jam, traffic movement is so slow on an expressway something is wrong... care to say the slow movement is at which stretch?
• SMB66X

  3 Dec 12, 20:36

  There's nothing wrong on the expressway, rather it's always the same few spot always~ TPE(Sengkang area or further) to SLE(Up till Mandai area there)

• sbst275

  3 Dec 12, 20:41

  you can say 969 can get there earlier... something isn't wrong? how can expressway end up slower than plying normal road? no traffic light road slower than roads w/ traffic light?
• SMB66X

  3 Dec 12, 20:54

  Yes it's true. 6316B was using lane 3(or 4), and the 969 used Lane3/2/1 and overtook my bus. Plus 6316B jams all the way, even after Yishun svc exited. SBS9404R also overtook 6316B, by using road shoulder and cutting tru at the spot where TPE links to SLE.

  Anyway, incase u aren't aware, the bus hit expressway at 6:10, 5-6mins later jam all the way and Svc 969 takes 20mins on expressway, 30mins on road. And SBS6316B reach WRI at 6:51pm~

  what is lane 3/ 2/ 1? it used the right lane? obviously something isn't right abt the expressway... but if no one can trace the source i.e. exit or RTA or whatever... hard to say of anything... and what on earth is bus doing on lane 1 and road shoulder?

  Express way there's lane..and because I see the bus on my right>>, but I never really notice which lane? Hence I put lane 3/2/1? 

  Not sure what happen down there, but I only see the same 969 bus infront of me when I reach WRI~ (: 

  Yes, you should see some SBS Transit buses (or even cars/private bus operators) using road shoulder. Even using the exit area to cut other buses(by driving on the white slash thingy which I not sure what that).

• sbst275

  3 Dec 12, 22:24

  the road shoulder thing... so far I've not seen.. except the one to cut into Opp CJC bus stop during the evening jam... in any case... lf there are usage of road shoulder, list it all down here... it's pretty obvious even by the 2nd look of your post, that 969 itself also didn't form up properly... as for the jam, indeed there's something wrong... but wait.. no problem... cos even bendy bus mess also no problem.. cos dunno how to judge at all... lol
• SMB66X

  But 969 and 168 run time is somewhat close, 55mins and 40plus mins(both from Tampines). I bet the bus can travel faster when it's using other lane(although it's not the right way) due to many cars exiting which requires the last lane(either 3 or 4). 

  Another case seen by me of buses using road shoulder was 2709, which idk if drivers is really lambat(because there's another DD infront). Not only 2709 used road shoulder(not often on trip), it drove on the lane that's exiting or entering, and cut back into the lane 3 to kill time~

   Anyway, my "nothing wrong" refers to the accident. Perhaps I missed it all what, but all the while I don't see accident~ TPE to SLE part(especially 168) always caught up in jams~~

• SMB66X

  Woops~ Paiseh! 969 bendy nvr overtake 9404K! It was another bus  Not 9404K! And by right, the overtake of Citaro(For 969 bendy) took place right before the Sengkang estates area(where there's a big canal)

  A BSEP fleet addon not "totally useless", think before you say it is.
  Suggest you read BSEP plan again

  not bad ah..  just because the chassis number of 6180A is one digit after 6168L, you are confirming that 6169J have become 6180A? then what about 6179E.. the chassis number is 5 digits ahead of 6180A... so 6179E is suppose to be 6164Y?
