I just dun understand why SMRT deploy so many buses on Svc 964 and neglect services like 169.
Even though it is the term break for RP but the queue can snake around until the boarding berth of Svc 161/168/902 during the morning peak. As for evening peak, I still presume once the bus had reached Admiralty Road West Area, the bus starts to get packed.
Last night I took Svc 969 back to Northpoint, it is one of the SG buses came. By the time the bus reach Admiralty, the bus is already full. Loading from Woodlands - Yishun is packed whereas for the other direction, the loading from Tampines to Yishun onwards is also packed.
I guess Svc 169 & 969 really need to beef up on their deployment of buses.
964 loading has increased with the expansion of Woodlands Industrial Estate.
169 also has many buses added. The problem with 169 is the high number of SDs. SMRT needs to upgrade the SD->DD rather than fleet add.

Rob Yishun to enrich Woodlands? Even with the 'robbery', SMRT is still failing in some Woodlands services?
-
I feel that SMRT should not operate Woodlands. The loading levels in Woodlands are not suited for bendies. (As in they should be done by DDs.)

Because under GCM, SMRT is just following what LTA tells them to do. How many buses and what type of buses are decided by LTA instead of the operators. People need to realise that operators are now contractors, and that LTA has taken over a lot of the planning from the operators.

Loading is quite low between CBP-ITE-Temasek. There is some loading between Punggol and IKEA/Courts but easily managed by SDs. Weekdays need full fleet DD.

Now term break for Temasek Poly and school holidays for ITE. So that is why loading quite low. Must wait until term starts and school starts for ITE.

Hi mr carbikebus, wait. In times like this where frequency of Go Ahead Singapore bus services are unstable, please proceed with DDs first. Don't forget 34, 43, 62, 118, 386 are the services with highest complaint. As bus headway is still not totally fixed, DDs will be better choice for obvious reasons. Cheers. Thanks.

If use DD, can consider snatching one from 83...

Buses departing after 0025hrs (i think), meaning 30 mins before last bus, trips starting from CCK int (or continuing) will operate as 307A. So last bus towards teck whye is at 0055hrs at that bus stop
