I hope LTA modifies few existing routes to terminate at Changi
Business Park Terminal, going through the CBP central area.
All the routes introduced in the CBP area have super high
loading.
20 - almost full fleet DD from a full fleet SD when
introduced
35 - getting to a full fleet DD by regular conversions of SDs
-> DD as the loading at Xilin from the CBP area is v high. You
see even DDs in the red during
peak hours.
47 - SDs are not able to tank the load between CBP & Tanah
Merah. I wouldn't advocate SD->DD conversion simply because the
loading between Tanah Merah - Marine Parade is strictly between
30-40 pax.
118 - DDs did v well on this service since very first month of
introduction.
* There could be possible options that LTA can try to divert one
more service from Tanah Merah to CBP given the high loading. They
could do it to 38, 45, 46, 48 or extend 26. Whatever they do, it
cannot be done standalone but have to tie in with some other
changes in the region.
* Personally I would prefer if it is svc 46 as it would help
connect Bedok North Town and DTL3 @ Bedok Reservoir to CBP area.
Also help with the lukewarm loading the service has.
