I rather have 4 trips than reducing down to 2, at least there's
a rage in time and thus ease time flexibility...If you deploy 4 DD,
waste of resources as not all buses are going to be fully pack[for
DD]. If you deploy a mixed in the fleet, who knows certain days
there's more/less pax. on certain trips. You just can't escape
problems what...
And is it really a need for DD? Why not bendy then?
How you know people don't want to stand? MRT priority seats,
nobody keen to take them during off peak hours, people stands, what
it shows then?
Standing in MRT is same as standing in bus???
Regarding timing, when you want to go to office, most people
want to reach office around the same time. Hence, AM peak issue
more than PM peak. Even if you give a range, normally the buses
that reach CBD around 8.30 am have the most pax. These trips you
need high capacity buses. And to my point to reduce resources used,
you don't deploy 4 of them in the first place.
And with you, I am not going to get into a discussion of bendy
v/s DD. It is better if they get DDs, if they don't want to -
better to get some kind of higher capacity bus than nothing at
all.
