WAB services should not be the first priority of concern.
Ensuring that frequencies and loadings are well-managed should be
the top priority of bus operators. Just look at how 172, 189, 811
and 851 cannot have more high capacity buses because they have to
meet WAB requirements all bendies are non-WAB. (1 388S shouldn't be
enough, eh?)
This is the mess with SMRT. More than a year and no decision taken
on buying high capacity buses. The areas of BBT, CCK, YIS, WDL have
so much more development and population growth but no better
service.
LTA just goes on adding MAN buses. How does it help? Opp
direction completely empty. Many times people do not board a SD -
the number of pax remaining back is 05-10 pax. For this LTA deploys
an additional bus when it could have just deployed DD bus and it
would have done the job.
What I am saying is similar to lemon's point.
