You should know that 972 is under BSEP and will not get any Bendies. But I support that in fleet of 14 buses, at least 8 should be DDs. Agreed that loading is v high on 972 just like on 190. Sv 700 loading has dropped though and between Orchard and Shenton only 20-25 pax that too the ones who board around Scott's/Orchard.
Originally posted by TIB429E:Actually 951E can take less than an hour to reach either destinations..quite fast (Y) It would be meaningful for LTA/SMRT/SBST to introduce more such svc
Yes such peak period bus services are highly desirable but there is a major problem here: loading only in one direction. If you ply 951E or 850E from Shenton back to WDL/Yishun, you will not have more than 10 pax on bus.
Originally posted by phillipC:MAN for this route no go. All the seats for evenings trips operated by MAN buses are chopped by ppl at Plaza Singapore bus stops
Yes, but in this case, we are looking at the 10mins frequency from 5-6:30pm. I believe the load would be lesser.
Originally posted by carbikebus:The only MAN A22s that can fill to the max of about 80 more pax is svc 950..Cause majority of them is Malaysians and boy they sure know how to maximise every little space..unlike us complain and complain about narrow aisle etc..Dont believe take a look.Wait give DDs also complain nobody goes upstairs all flooded lower deck..i believe its more to attitude and upbringing problem we Singaporeans are..Wait give 3 mins per bus also complain wasted of resource…haiya very hard to please ah.Drive car on the road also see many type of kookoos be it luxury car drivers or what..drive one hand smart phone on the other till enter others lanewithout even apologised..I mean seriously we do have attitude problem ie selfish arrogant bastards..so sorry we i have to say that
I agree with everything u said here.. There is a problem in the way we are brought up. I have traveled the world and can surly say that Singapore quality of life is one of the best. But the kids don't realize this and wait for every opportunity to blast the gahmen and Singapore.
look at Europe.. So much problem.. Negative birth rate has put country into recession. Lower marriages, lower birth, lower consumption. I think in a way our gahmen is taking good steps in tourism and infrastructure to keep our recon kicking but morons here don't understand or appreciate that.
Everything is true except the Government parts..There is always a high price for every nice thing here u see..I miss the old 90s and early 2000s..Now so many Chinaporeans,Filiporeans etc...I dunno if im a first or second class citizens now..No need to talk about the millionaires ministers..

I missed early 2000s.
The society was so less screwed up.
It was the time when media was truly appreciated, when a sense of local culture was still strong, when life was simple and less pressurized, and when Singapore was still strong in its English culture (now they sadly mixed it with other languages making SG kinda �桶水 in everything). When life had more variety and perhaps, when life was life.
If I had a time machine, I would love to return to the past.
Originally posted by carbikebus:Back to topic,I got a feeling that SMRT will have other brand of DD in mind(MAN maybe) once the 201 buses is registered.
What makes u feel so?

I would rather feel that SMRT should purchase some more E500s, after all Volvo is still handling the manufacturing of over 500 B9TL chassis for SBS Transit...

Above is my own deployment for BSEP registered E500s. I think sv 972 should get 3 more DDs for now. So fleet of 6 DDs, 7 SDs good for now. Other buses should go to convert MANs on existing high loading services to E500s.

Great, 6 DDs are enuough for Bukit Panjang.
Just now, I call SMRT regarding about Bus Service 972 to Increasing Frequncy and I think will soon be faster instead or slower

sv 972 needs 14 buses i.e. one fleet add. At same time, ideal would be for it to have 8 DDs/6 SDs. For now, it can start with 6 DDs/8SDs and upgrade once more E500s are available.

This is the first time I see buses registered on a Sunday...great that there are more DDs...now let's wait for SMB5003U-SMB5007J to get registered.
Service 972
Next Months, 2 or more Bus Fleets
We refer to your feedback to us dated 28 July 2014 and we understand that you had called our hotline earlier for an update.
We are happy to share with you that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) will deploy two or more double-decker buses for service 972 in September 2014.
Suggestion Approved
