  in fact, which svc passing by a mrt station or bus interchange will not get full during peak hr one???

  if u still consider 113 a semi-feeder route, go take a look at other feeder/intratown routes like 241,291,806,911 during their peak hr.. even they use high loading bus like double deck/bendy also full to the door lor

  
  U don't noe if 113 will get full dd load right? Every bus tht departs hougang st 21 is >45pax. And er 354,153,132,112,119,115,284,282,272 don't get full Leh.. Still got sum more bus svcs I lazy type

  lol if like that then why 132 and 153 got DDs? I've ever took a full bus Dennis Trident on 153. 132's loading also high. 119 used to have DDs..

  I think main reason for 153,132,165 of having dds is more like advertising purposes

  On Friday, I studied these 3 routes in more detail.

  153 high loading is between Serangoon and Toa Payoh/

  132 high loading as before stated is between Hougang Ave 2 and AMK, and again from Redhill to Henderson road

  165 high loading is from Hougang to AMK only.

  Have you ever seen 55 pax standing in a Citaro? After 30-35 pax enter, the BC shuts the door because people don't move in and it gets really cramped.

  What do you expect? People after a tired day or on their way to work should cramp in a bus - Is this comfortable traveling we are talking about?

  Citaros are good on routes like 123 where the load is not high.

  I feel if the load is increased by 30-40 pax, no extra bus is required. Just put a DD. You save costs of a BC and running an additional bus. But if the capacity increase is as much as another SD, makes sense to add buses.

  Would you prefer B10Ms to run on 27 instead of Citaros? considering that seating capacity is 51 compared to 31-34 for Citaros.

  Yes of course. It is so difficult to find a seat on svc 27 buses nowadays and most passengers have to stand cramped together.

  7, 74, 78, 98, 196 definately needs more.

  Some services with DDs removed before can try having DDs back again, like 63, 130, 135, 269.

  Also hope to see 140 revive again and make it semi express along CTE, but instead of stopping at Shenton Way, it can go to MBS and Marina Center.
