was that the 4.03pm trip?
i deliberately miss this bus.. disdusting..not gong to stand at the door for 30mins
wth.. send such mini buses on 161 is such a no-no
best of all, the next 161 came 20mins later and BC chugg at 40kmph along SLE
and the 3rd near empty 161 overtook it after a shortwhile
cheers to our first world transport -

cheers to our first world transportnope, it was the trip before the 4:03pm. apparently the front bus, a DD, did not show up at all, even though it was also at WRI (earlier) together with the KUB, thus causing the big crowd on 161 :/ i saw the crowd. i dont think ill be stuck in that situation again after getting to stand on 9685's return trip to woodlands on 161 from skg last stop the other day

kub is quite a bigger bus than mks and citaros, striders too. kub has more standee area. i'd rather kubs dominate the sds in svcs 161 >.< -

Although the bus is crowded to the door, it still can be squeese in somemore. Kinda like OCs due to the door area plus the WAB area, which ppl can squeese more.

B10Ms for me, thank you.

expressway svs like 161, 168, 506 should use MKIII for non WAB or KUB slots as far as they can...
-
yeah lo.... thats the least SBS can do
was wondering why 161 and 168 isnt having a 100% DD fleet
hope the KUB today was a once-in-50-years honest mistake
-
But let's put it this way, the MKIV will eventually go very very soon except the DM3500...
Enjoy the MKIV while it last

NO SDs for 161/168!!!!!!

problem is i alway saw ppl standing at the lower deck for sv161/168 buses starting from WDL even there are empty seats at lower deck and plenty more seats at the upper deck.. why they would want to stand all the way on expressway?

AiyoI seen it before also... At BNL on 179, lower deck full of standee, upper deck only 5 6 ppl nia..
If they could, make 179 10 mins freq from BNL, give KUB... Make downroute from Pioneer Rd Nth, use KUB.. Since kids love to squeeze, let them squeeze lor.. ADD give to 182, 193...
179A continue to use VO3x/ LO3x... Just a 2 cent thought abt kids not utilising the ADDs wisely...
Anyway, 161 & 168 should be fully ADD fleet.. VO3x, LO3x, Wright, CDGE or VSO...

Ironic isn't it?
I've always maintained that 161 at least (I dont know about 168) doesnt need a full DD fleet with its very good frequency currently.
But there's always howls of protest saying I should look at the crowd etc etc.
Its my view that the DDs can be put to good use on other routes like 74/147/132/153 even though they already have majority DD, but when the SD comes, its can be a nightmare for commuters, particularly for 74 and 147.
And 151/163 don't need DDs. Particularly the latter. Seriously. I would rather these DDs be used on 161 because even if people don't appreciate the upper deck as we note, I do. I appreciate DDs on 161 and the knowledge that I'll be able to get a seat on a DD for the long expressway sector. Its just the question of relative needs.
In 151's case, the DDs tend to be underutilised because the timings dont coincide with the crowds less evening peak hour. For example, 2 DD slots I know of that leave KRT do so at roughly 1535 and 1635. The result is a foregone conclusion: empty DD for me to nuah and kiao kar.

quick, send me a template for email to corpcomms.You left out senior mgmt. You must ask buses[in]gapore! for their email address and state that you are demanding for full Wright otherwise he will simply ignore you.
