  cos of industrial area along YCK rd that many ppl use this service to and from there for work.

  Most probably the one you saw is 165, not 156.

  Why I would say that was bcos;

  1) it would not be feastible for SBST to make a DD desto for 156 and use it for only 1 trip or 1 day.

  2) I remember someone mentioned before that 156 was not DD deployable due to some height limitation on it route, which portion unknown.

  Cheers.

  Simple.

  NPNT.

  I'v never seen any DD on 156 before....even my mum who had been taking 156 since the 1970s (yes...its that old), has never mentioned any DD on it.

  Same problem as 151.

  I also have no idea why the morning DD leaves right after the previous K230UB....and then with the downroute at Bukit Timah, the bus stays virtually empty the entire trip.

  Both services also have their DDs deployed during non-peak hour although my guess was that it was to "ferry" the DD back to the depot, or to hit peak hour traffic from the destination. That was observed on 151....but the only times I have seen DDs on 163 is at night or weekends. Granted, I was working, so these were the only times I saw the DDs. But to see them anyway was quite .

  Crudely speaking regarding DD deployments on 163 and 151, DD gam pui?

  Here's a pic of 151's DD from on board at 8AM leaving HG Int.

   

  

  

  What a joke.

  
  Like what I have said, complain to SBST about this. Complain here doesn't help.

  Didn't help much.

  But ok, after that feedback, the frequency smoothed out somewhat. That much I would give.

  But the DD problem persisted.

  163 & 163M buses are interchangable during duty.

  SBS804Z was on SV163M today. spotted around 1345 hours.

  But some buses can be diffrerent in one day example 99 is on Citaro for one day.

  Citaro is EDS, whereas LO3X/ VO3X is using plastic desto. SBST would not waste money to make a large plastic front DD desto for 156 and use it for a trip or a day. Unless you are saying that on that day it was using the normal front desto on DD then that would make the difference.

  Cheers.

  Then 163 can be seen with only SBS9669M on it everyday unless it cameos on other services.
