Please observe the loading pattern of 900 and 901. People come
people go. Where will got people go upper deck one?
The ppl on woodlands feeders are more than a DD can hold. As a
result, people have to stand on the stairs when a DD is deployed.
But bendies are different. They can hold standees at their rear
portion and also the articulation joint area.
Also, please take a look at how WILD people unload at Admiralty
Stn when 913 pulls by. People SPAM out of the bus straightaway.
With only one exit door that have to cope with both upper and lower
deck pax at once, do you think a DD can cope?
It is also the pax and the BC's adaptations and habit. That's
why the SBST feeders and townlinks can successfully utilise DDs on
its svcs. To elaborate more on the not moving to the upper deck
problem, people may have this habit of not moving to the top as
they know how painful it is to alight EVEN from bendies, LEAVE
ALONE DDs.
If u ask me, I think DDs are better utilised on 700, or 857 as
you said. Also can be well utilised on 853, as the load at Kallang
can get real traumatic at peak. But for Woodlands feeders or
intratowns, it's a no-no, at least for me.
Bendies are already so messy in Woodlands interchange. Look at
all the jams they created during peak hours. People have to even
walk on the road to the berth when alighting the buses because
bendy buses block all the way for the buses behind. And you think
people move in on board bendy buses, BCs also need to shout.
Sometimes you even see the back trailer with no standees, waste of
space on the roads, block other buses way as well.
291 and 241 loads are also very heavy but you don't always see
delays and jams in the bus stops and interchanges, unlike bendies
which also creates messy jams and bottel necks in Woodlands
intechange, long queues as well for Yishun and Chu Chua Kang
interchange.
Woodlands don't need more bendies, they need 1 or 2 more feeder
bus services to balance the load from the current feeder
services.
Look at those rain trees...
. It
is the no.1 enemy to DDs.
They are found in- WDL Rd, Upp Bt Timah Rd, Dunearn Rd, Telok
Blangah Way, Henderson Rd, Depot Rd, PK Estate, and Upp Aljunied
Rd.
Henderson Rd is the most absurd one, the branches are SOOOOO
low...
Raintrees are everywhere in Singapore.
Why other places not affected using DDs??? 
And raintrees can grow at heights taller than a DD.
Lol really fail eh u. Buay song still must geh kiang go rebutt
me with boarding door. So? DD also one boarding door only wat!
Wad u dunno that bendies got standing space also meh? Do u noe y
SMRT removed the seats for some of the EWL C151s? Basically, the
joint area of bendies is like the stairs of DD, only DD stairs
can't take standees.
Wrights got TWO Wheelchair bays? What a joke!!! Thx for making
me having the laugh of the day BTW. Dunno how count? A bay is big u
noe. And yes, when bendies WAB come by, u will see the same benefit
on bendies.
Bendies 50 pax??? Wow how often u take bendies boy? Please lah,
the length of bendies are 3/2 the length of DDs leh.
I mean please lah, even trunks DDs like 86 have an empty upper
deck when leaving the interchange. U wan talk about SMRT feeders?
Please GTFO. CBD I can still accept this argument, but bendies are
bought for the feeders and svcs like 67, and no pathetic DDs are
available for your absurd requests as they are busy on svcs like
190. TYVM.
So???
One bloody bendy bus stuck there for 5 mins to load all the
passnegers and block the way of all the buses behind. One DD also
take up 5 mins to load all the passengers but don't block the other
buses behind in the bus stop.
That is the main reason why every morning the bus stop outside
Yishun interchange and inside interchange to jammed by bendy buses
everyday. Everytime have to waste time waiting for those stupid
bendy buses infront to clear before my bus can actually move into
the bus stop or exit from Yishun interchange into Yishun Ave 2.
Sometimes I wish I can break that stupid bendies into half.
