Didnt that alr happen? Cut to 3 DDs liao.. Its a disappointing move tho 983 is quite high demand..Originally posted by SMB315C:Anyway, I think SMRT/LTA should cut down the number of 983 DDs..
Originally posted by lemon1974:SMRT got excess DDs mah. Even 951E pm peak upgrade to DD. Wasted. Most of the time saw so many empty seats.
Sometimes want to kick the person who does the deployments for SMRT. He has no idea what he is doing. Seriously.

Already cut. How many more you want them to cut?

But they improved frequency a lot. Bus every 05 mins by adding many A22s (their favorite style just like they do for intratowns/feeders).

971E operates only few time slots. To substitute for that, you want a full day service to go Shenton Way and duplicate many existing services??

Dafuq?
No need full day. After 7, 972B can travel to Marina Centre. Full day on sat, sun and ph.
Is there even a need for 972B Marina Centre? We have 700A that goes there after 7?
No?
You're even more "da fuq".
972 already can be empty during off peak with only max 10-20pax, that would only make it worse

Some svcs terminating at Shenton Way do not always terminate there.
For a very obvious reason.
Originally posted by Sbs6750E:Okay, 972 during Peak hrs extend to Shenton Way and sv 972# do current route during 972 non-operating hours.
I think this will only be like adding more cooks for the broth. There is already an abundance of options for BPJ eg. 700 and 971E. Extending it this way is just unnecessary

SMRT has excess DDs? Then what about 854?
Hiding in a snail shell or sth? See the 854 NWABs for yestrday post by SMB315C in redeployments thread..Originally posted by SBS3004X:SMRT has excess DDs? Then what about 854?

854 seems like a 100% WAB today, based on the LTA app. I wonder how many double decks are deployed out today.
Originally posted by TIB 585L:Dont forget 972 have a lot of buses like 190. Not feasible to end at Shenton Way
972 can actually extend to Shenton Way via MBS. But again, it may be a duplication as Bt Panjang residents can depend on the DTL to MBS.

972 stay as it is..Only need longer break times at BPJ..This svc supplement 190 70% of its route.
If LTA is so concerned about the reliability of long looping service,Then the old terminals like Lim Chu Kang and Rumah Tinggi should be opened back.BCs at least can relieve,smoke and have a short breaks..
196 had 1 DD downgrade. SG5405X > SBS8533C.
Another suspected downgrade on 196 posted on Suspected Redeployments.
169 also has a lack of DDs.
I would like to see two of S386 SDs exchange with two S83 DDs.
119 now reduce 2 DDs liao,Today only spot 2 DDs instead of 4.
S43 and S43M got 1 SD each..
S3 morning spotted only 2 DDs while after 3.30pm spotted 3.
S82 need 2 DDs..
