multi-storey complexes cost more and its only a supporting
facility, not a full fledged bus garage.
What about HK's NWFB buses? They had one big depot in Chai Wan
(and another two smaller ones) and I can see the buses at the
complex are doing well, no jams outside the depot too. The depot I
see there have multi-storey parkings, and all types of support
located either at one of the levels of the complex or in the
terrain spaces next to the complex. Though to be honest their buses
are a little less well-managed than Singapor. (more of like SMRT
standard) but still are able to be called "standard
buses".
Multi-storey complex do take more money to build,
but at least they can cater to more buses and thus saves the money
used to lease plots, buy equipment and pay the staff (multi-storey
complexes uses less equipment and staff in total than a few
single-storey depots).
Yep. Thus the money are quite worth too. Anyway, Singapore isn't
that big to need so many depots to serve a small red dot.
