Can you share what timings did you observe the DDs during AM peak?

AM peak trips at 7.25am and 7.50am from BNDEP.

Thank you.
Do you have other timings as well? such as from BNV - BNDEP for AM and PM.
Originally posted by Sbs6750E:Sv 147 full fleet DD liao. Some siao lang here was right.
tot it was already full DD 1-2 months ago.. just no one go update only...
sv 16 gets 2 SD fleet add because of heavy demand between Dakota MRT and Joo Chiat.
sv 24 gets 1 fleet add because of heavy demand between Upper Changi and Tanah Merah MRT.
sv 70 gets 1 DD fleet add on account of heavy demand between Guillemard and CBD during AM peak.
sv 72 gets 1 DD fleet cut, operating now with 41 buses instead of 42. Too many buses were added.
sv 80 gets 1 DD fleet add, due to high demand between Paya Lebar and Kovan. 7 sv 80 DDs do downroute from Aljunied MRT to Sengkang during PM peak, likewise do 80A during AM peak from Sengkang to Aljunied.
sv 89 now is full fleet DD, 2 SDs -> 2 DD. Good move given the high demand from Loyang to NE.
sv 90 gets one more SD->DD conversion, now operating with 6 DDs, 3 SDs. This is due to high demand between Macpherson and Toa Payoh.
sv 103 is now full fleet SD. Lost its only DD. I wonder why. Needs to be a strong enough reason, I guess because it should have at least decent loading between Jalan Kayu and Serangoon, if not within SAP.
sv 196 gets a SD fleet add. I guess this is to complement the DD loading towards CBD from both ends. Prefer weekday DDs on this service and weekends can be full fleet SD.
sv 198 joins the wagon of full fleet DDs with final 2 SD->2 DD conversion. This should be because of high demand from AYE Dover to Jurong West and Boon Lay to Jurong West towns during PM, reverse during AM.

A very good reason: Cutting costs at the expense of commuters.
But why does 83 have so many DDs? That's why I feel Serangoon services are horrible. Just look at 315. Endless fleet adds and no DDs. Probably because of frequent traffic jams at Serangoon North.
LTA make a big mistake for not deploy at least 3 DDs for 103 during peak hours
Originally posted by Sbs6750E:I think sv 83 SD is only on weekends leh. Weekdays like full fleet DD. Goodness!
Wasted resources,Someone should bring to LTA/GA attention.
82 need 2 DDs during peak hours.
119 can do with 2 DDs only.
Svc 3 need 3 SD to DD conversion.
85 no need full DDs too,So does 43M.

103 lost its DD as a final resort by LTA to force ppl to take 117
Originally posted by hgdep103:103 lost its DD as a final resort by LTA to force ppl to take 117
More people would take 117 if 117 was amended to serve the new Sembawang / Yishun North flats instead of introducing 883. Dorks. Some folks in LTA are straight out of IMH.
Originally posted by hgdep103:103 lost its DD as a final resort by LTA to force ppl to take 117
Don't quite get the logic. Rather put more DDs on 103 and make 117 full fleet SD and introduce DDs when loading improves. Common sense. Same case with 46. On other hand, svc 5 continues to have ~50% SD fleet even though it has bi-directional high loading.

Yep. We discussed it. Some idiots in LTA for sure introducing services to make quota. 883 is a must and required but should have been launched in Q2 2017 and not so early. 117 could have done the job till then. Now 117 loading even more cui.
Whatever it is, just leave it as it is. Furthermore 117 does have both decks full on certain times. Till then time stands still
Though maybe 117M would have been introduced instead

Only 2 duty experience fuuly seated the rest all shake like mad,3 of my friend drive 117
sv 189 seems to be operating with only 2 or 3 DDs now. Can someone confirm? Apparently 189 now has fleet of 15 buses operating at 05-06 minutes frequency for full route and between BBT Ave 6 -> BBT Interchange, operating at frequency of 03 minutes during peak hours.
Due to addition of rigids, 3 DDS -> 3 SDs.
Please confirm if news is true.

103 is squeezed like sardines on many trips even before it reaches Sengkang. 117 only have ghost upper deck, with some exceptions.

Hi mr sbs3004X, you cannot expect crowds to be evenly split between 2 different services all the time. Cheers. Thanks.
can 145 get another one or two DD. Maybe the new 129 might have DD on the service.

should have got more DDs by now, but sadly hasn't.
Originally posted by BusAnalayzer:should have got more DDs by now, but sadly hasn't.
Most probably the high frequencies of the SDs.Same case like Svc 3.
