I was trying to ask him what he meant by the "few people from
Simei".
But anyways I think I got it, and yes I agree it's few. Most who
really travel beyong Tampines are just going to Loyang. Yeah they
can change to 19 since its the same stop anyways.
This is what I was proposing.
19: Tampines loop @ Cargo
9: Bedok loop @ Alps
Lets analyze the situation.
anyone who wants to travel from cargo until tampines ave 7 can
choose either 9 or 19. Both have frequency of 7-10 minutes in peak.
All those who take MRT will either take 89 to Pasir Ris or max 19
to Tampines. There are very few users who will take 9 all the way
to Simei and beyond.
if you notice loading on Sv 9 it comes in bursts. Tanah Merah to
Simei, Simei to Loyang, then loading drops. If there are a few
people who need bus to Simei can always transfer.
Today all people working at Alps have to transfer or use car.
Hence, my suggestion yo just divert Sv 9 to loop at Alps ave. with
this suggestion, I also suggest 2 Sd slots convert to DD for Sv 9
and one BSEP citaro slot to 3354 or 3355.
