Hougang Ave 4 - 9(-0/6), 8(-1/0)
Hougang Ctrl - 8(-0/0)
(The 72 DD in front had around 15 pax when reached here, and most
of them alighted at Hougang MRT)
Hougang Ctrl Int - 0(-8)
(116 usually have around 30-35 pax boarding at Hougang Ctrl Int
on weekends evenings. Sometimes up to 40+ pax and sometimes only 25
pax. The queue seems long especially as the other services in the
nearby berths (132, 165, 51, 151 etc) usually do not have many pax.
As for Serangoon side, I believe PM loading would be much better if
the direction of the loop is reversed. Therefore I wouldn't say sv
116 is a waste.
yes we are very liberal on our resources. nothing really is a
waste here since we have ample of resources. hence, everything
seems okay and fine.
my observation on 116 is quite similar, sometimes a little
better than your 17 pax peak loading. The ones I have taken do peak
at 23-24 pax along YCK road or HG Ave 9 (if 72 has not called). But
yes 17 pax or 24 pax is not really a waste because we have ample of
resources to throw around.
