Yes bro. I think last year's BSEP deployment should be reviewed
again. 2, 87, 168 should be given Wrights. Take those Wrights from
either 119 or 50. A Citaro hardly helps the loading on any of these
services. More so, it is irritating when the Citaro comes first,
and a DD follows within 2-3 minutes.
I don't know if you agree but during peak times a Citaro can be
slower than a DD and can cause massive delays. At major bus stops,
when pax cannot enter as the bus is full, the BC has to first ask
pax to move to the rear, then ask pax to stand back. This makes the
Citaro further late, and the DD behind catches up but doesn't get
its full due of passengers. After the peak loading area is gone,
the DD behind becomes redundant with very few pax on
board.
Actually from what you said, somewhat agree but Svc168 having a
BSEP Citaro is still alright. Compare to the past and current, the
bus now departed Woodlands Int(during peak hours) with only a few
standee(plus fully seated). As for the back bus, the load is still
not full(not much standee also).
