Actually 179/179A has no BSEP slots. BSEP has never played a
role in improving NTU services. 179 is still pretty ok but for 199,
I would consider it as one of the not so well operated services by
SBST. You should see Sunday - So many people go back to NTU halls
at night and yet that service runs on 2 DDs ONLY, But Ok thats
besides the point.
If 179A is modified to terminate outside, it will certainly
reduce peak hour jams outside the interchange. Cos if you notice,
179A is the service that spends the longest time at the alighting
point due to it not having any stops btw NTU and Boon Lay. The
distance from interchange-MRT and the busstop-MRT is more or less
the same. Yeah Joo Koon can't help there. Joo Koon could take over
and extend Service 241 though. Joo Koon - JW St 91/92 - Pioneer -
Boon Lay (Loop outside interchange). With 179A and 241 out of
there, it should be more managable already. Anw, Joo Koon will take
out some of the JIS also mah.
199 used to be majority single decker fleet wen ma brother study
there. now has more double decker than single decker. so there
improvment.
