Places not suitable for double decks to ply

• sbst275

  Seeing the comments isn't going anywhere. Everyone missed the point that infrastructure must be proper before bigger double decks can appear.

  I'll list some hazard locations.

  1) PIE > Jln Anak Bukit slip road: 1x tree too low, too near.

  2) Hillview Ave: Center divider trees, on top of KTM bridge

  3) Dunearn Rd: Classical one, impeding 66 & 67 to use DDs.

  4) Woodlands Rd: Trees again, near Sg Kadut

  5) Henderson Rd (Telok Blangah)

  6) Depot Rd (Trees)

  Bus lane under CTE Braddell Flyover towards Lorong Chuan. Services 73, 105 and 159 are unable to use DDs due to the height limit beneath the flyover.

  Many of these are old trees making it big trunk feature.

  It's either remove or no ADD.

  Tree can be pruned or replaced by taller and shadier trees. This is flexible.

  So I can only think of 2 areas, flyover over Lorong Chuan, and Changi Airport due to poor planning...

  NEA don't deal with trees.

  And besides that, trees along certain roads like Henderson are conserved trees, so you can't cut them or their branches away unless they pose an immediate danger to the public.

  NParks

  That said, conservation of trees can't be in the pace of usage of double decker buses. It's not nice to put it, but older trees seems to be getting harder and harder to be maintained i.e. termites
