Back to Bus Services
Go-Ahead need to send back 5 B9TLs back to storage.They got excess of DDs.They can lease 5 more SDs.TTS to he honest I don’t think they will lease the Euro 6 A22.
Do you guys think GAS will lease new A22 for this?Or least Euro V A22s?
**Probably** lease a few of those E6 A22s. About 5 to 8 units?
5-8 is way too much,I think maybe 4 the most.
Ex TT SG citaros
The Tower Transit Citaros are currently on lay up. Meaning they cannot be driven on the roads until a certain date. If they lease Citaros, they will probably lease the previous Task Force 50 buses registered SG12xx.
I think that they might definitely lease Euro 6 A22s, but I think the service will have both Citaro and A22 slots. So they might lease some Citaros as well perhaps? Or E5 A22s which are not on lay up? I don’t know, but we shall see!
Hmm.. I would guess all those Citaros would most likely go to TTSG Mandai. If any a22s are going over to GASG, it should be those ex-SBST and ex-SMRT a22s .
This is pure guessing only.
Yeah, well it’s a bit hard to tell. But I am convinced the service will run both Citaros and A22s.
Never mind, GA already took in 4 ex-TTSG Citaros (1003, 1004, 1007, 1008). Initially thought these buses will end up with Mandai lololol
Ah, I thought they might get leased at some point after their lay up. I hope the ex SMRT E6 A22s will come back to service. :/
Lol its just like how bus fans think 883 is useless becuz 117 exists… U think lta so free isit introduce feeder service for nothing ?
Bus 84 is literally running empty trips in the afternoons already, and this route duplicates the LRT by a lot like bus 84, the new bus stops are also within walking range of the LRT… Maybe there will be a future demand, who knows, but having it now it’s a waste of money. And oh remember “LTA routes” have crappy schedules, so good luck having much passengers like 84 when the LRT wayy faster, and they are definitely gonna put DDs on this feeder service 😂
Hello what are you talking? It’s rather they introduce very late right. Feeder 384 was introduced to cater residents inside Northshore and provide links to Sumang LRT. Take note that the route doesn’t duplicate 84 mostly. Who knows if 384 demand will be okay?
You don’t have to provide links to the LRT because the LRT ~is~ already a feeder, and if you see on the map, 384 duplicates the LRT for nearly four stops. All the houses are within walking distance to the LRT stations too, so the only reason why I think LTA implemented this route is to increase capacity to the LRT line, which to be honest has quite a small capacity, but this route is implemented too soon because the LRT is already quite empty in the first place for Punggol West loop, and 84 is also running empty trips already, so I suggest that 84 be ammended to the bus 384’s route at Northshore Drive, then continuing on it’s current route to punggol road end, like 882, if not 84 will still be a pretty useless route in the first place due to people choosing it over the LRT because of it’s long travel times due to its schedule. And btw, this route is classified as a feeder route, so the operators have to operate one bus every 6 to 8 mins minimum at least during the peak hours, so the demand better be good.
Honestly I feel that if they get the frequency right then 384 and 84 can technically have a competitve edge over LRT, since the Punggol West Loop has an atrocious 6 min 15 sec headway. (And it isn’t the worst, Sengkang West Loop does 6m30s headways during *peak hours*!) Of course, we all know what LTA is like and they probably won’t let buses realise their potential…
There’s already service 84, why need another service?
Currently Sumang LRT doesn’t have any bus connections and some sectors near Samudera/Punggol Point which previously served by Service 84 had been deleted, which can cause inconvenient. So Feeder 384 was introduced to fill up some missing links in Punggol West.
Regarding about Service 84, Service 84 may be extended to Punggol Digital District if they planned to do so. So Feeder 384 is good enough. Rather need to make some sense though
Probably they have plans to extend 84 to somewhere else, in the future.
That’s correct! 84 is not the end and fixed. They may extend to Punggol Digital District. So it’s better that LTA introduce Feeder 384 for residents’s convenience, rather than amending 84 which can affect some commuters so drastically.
