960 need 75% DDs, 25% bendies. 0 SD
Observation on 960, SD cannot tank the load at all the
hotspots
Hotspots are
Towards WRI
Bugis Junction
Little India
A lot of people alighted at BPJ and Sungei Kadut wich means
there are a lot of long haul passenger.
Towards MC also the same
At times SD cant tank load at Sungei Kadut and BPJ area already
during peak hour. When i take bendies, the bendies can tank the
load, SD buses normally have pax till it filled the door
My observation is similar.
Towards Marina Center (AM):
SDs cannot take load at BPJ... bus already fully packed. Again
Little India heavy loads to Bugis.
Towards WRI:
Bus again gets packed at BPJ for Woodlands Road industrial
estate (so still need high capacity buses in opp direction)
During PM peak,
Bus already full at Bugis. Ever seen 45-50 pax board only at
Bugis. At Little India, though many alight, still bus is full
capacity that by Whitley no space to enter. After Ten mile
junction, bus loses steam for few stops before again gets heavy
load from Woodlands Rd Industrial to Woodlands Reg Int.
Full fleet high capacity is good for 960.
