Another problem of extending these services to UEC is that buses
will go empty from UEC until they hit Marine Parade Rd, just like
the current 13/43.
Just thinking, could some of these services be extended to CBP,
via either ECP or Bedok? For example, 135 can be merged with 47 and
extended to CBP Ter, now that it's possible to deploy DDs on
135.
Technically possible unless the loop at East Coast Rd is to be
preserved. I was initially thinking for 55 to make that additional
loop around EC Rd / Amber Rd / MP Rd but it may not do justice to
such a heavily utilized service.
If some other service can cover the loop (perhaps 15 or 16?)
then by all means let 47 be merged with another MP service.
