Are there any capacity reduction for SMRT106? It seems there are
more single decks than double deckers, and the frequency does not
seem good too.
WIth DTL running, are there redeployment of buses previously
running along Upper Bukit Timah Road?
SMRT106 deserves better frequency and higher capacity.
With new bus company taking over SMRT soon, what improvement can
I expect from this new bus company? The new bus company are simply
taking over the old buses from SMRT and operate them, or they have
they their own buses, bus operating hours, bus frequencies?
106 really needs more DDs deployed during off peak, when I take
bus from Orchard and I see A22 on 106 arriving, I would wait for
the next bus (usually I would just take 7 instead of 106 as 7
operates on nearly full DD as I don't want to stand from Orchard to
Clementi)
In addition, I've observed 106 DDs towards Shenton Way empty and
deployed after 1 A22 that is nearly fully seated with a few
standees, otherwise, 2 106 DDs can bunch together or arrive less
than 3mins apart with less than 30 pax each
