JIS is not causing a jam and will not change much. why 241 and
99 loops at Jurong West st 91 with full fleet DDs? these are high
loading routes. i see 315 having full bus with some KUBs, maybe
some Wrights or other DDs on 315?
73, 159 cannot get any DDs due to the bridge. if loads are high,
bendies would be great.
315 should have got some DDs. To be honest, it really deserves.
LTA added 4 BSEP to this service, so much excess resource. DD can
clear loads very well. Not sure why HGDEP gave no DDs to 315.
103 soon will need DDs or another BSEP fleet add. I prefer it be
given DDs. They can introduce 103A to terminate at Jalan Kayu
interchange and come back as 103 to Serangoon.
73 - no need. For years not even got a fleet add. Loading
remains just about right. In general, Serangoon North Ave 4
services do not get heavily packed - not sure what the reason is,
coz there are so many flats there. As mentioned before, I think
people just prefer to walk to YCK road / AMK Ave 3 as you have more
options
159 - this was a service that needed DDs desperately at one
point in time and was a huge debate point. But not anymore. With sv
50 coming in, lot of the 159 Sengkang loading has shifted to sv 50.
Also the enhanced capacity on sv 88 has shared the load on AMK
sector. The buses are packed, but you have place to enter and
people are not left stranded. So 159 is also good with its current
fleet.
