I agree that svc 45 has enough. But it should stay at it is,
please do not reduce DDs as it will be catastrophic.
Reason why 45 has such high loadings as described above is becoz
before BSEP 45 has one of the worst frequencies of all basic SBST
svcs. 18-20 mins freq all through the day! And always late
somemore. Alas most people rely on 45 as they have no other choice,
and Hence the heavy loadings.
But after BSEP, DD upgrades has evened out the freq, and today,
though loading is still high, it already does not warrant for
further add of DDs. That's when LTA stopped. And I believe this is
correct too.
Regarding 112 not being crowded please observe again. Loads get
catastrophic when leaving the int to HG ave 7, and also AM peak
towards HG St 21 stop. On what grounds do you say 112 deserve less
buses than 113? Is 113 the only high loading HG short haul, so much
that it needs special treatment and downgrade other svcs like 112?!
That's a very myopic way to look at things, and I believe this is
very selfish whining too.
Same goes for 101.
Not sure if 20-40 pax on 112 leaving HG int is catastrophic or
70+ pax on 113 is catastrophic. You have never seen the peak hour
bunching of sv 112. 3 112s within the span of 5mins all empty.
Spoken to a perm bc of 112. He told me that their runtime is
loose and they can drive slowly. If you speak to a perm bc of 113,
he will tell you their runtime is very tight. Esp those driving
113A. I myself have seen sv 113 bcs going for another round aft
reaching hg int without breaks.
as for 101, pretty sure a SWT 101A would do the job.
