Should be the way la,No point public operator control so many Premium svc..PTOs should only control basic and express svc only.
-
Next is 564. Can use 45-sitter coaches.
-
But isn't Sv 548 run using double-deckers now? I mean, there's going to be 6 trips of Sv 548 with the new private operator. But that's 6 trips of SDs (AEDGE mostly uses the shorter China buses). hmm. Did the demand for Sv 548 drop drastically recently?

LTA wants to reduce morning crossover trips of PTOs to premium services that reduces the capacity on regular service in morning peak.
