Loading has been high from AMK Int to this stretch from 7am to
7.15am due to students going to school at many schools and services

The schools are AMK Sec,AMK Pri,Mayflower Sec,Bishan Pk Sec and
Peirce Sec. This stretch can
have double decks full to front and difficulty boarding. SBS8691D
is currently deployed at this timing and has around 10 people left
behind at Ang Mo Kio Primary Stop. The loading drops at Opp
Mayflower Sec Sch as majority of the students are from this school.
However, loading remains until the last bus stop, and from then
loading is smooth.

single deck,with a frequency of 4-7 minutes.
Many options from AMK to AMK ave 1.. And Sv 166 gets around
45-50 pax at interchange. Bus can accommodate more than 100 pax..
Alternately, 132/165 both have empty capacity as lot of people
alight at AMK MRT (# of people boarding May be half of those who
