Eh for a low-medium capacity route to request for DDs is really
ridiculous and incredible if the request is approved!
Threadstarter, did you check the loading factor for sv113 everyday
at all times before you fire off your request?~
if you did, i salute you, if you did not , please do not make such
a big hooha about sv113. it is nothing special, DDs are better
utlised elsewhere on HG routes...
Y do i say that?!
Coz yest i was at SOTA bus stop, i waited for 28 mins for 3 single
deck sv147 to come at regular intervals, 8445 8446 2659,
1st 2 cannot board, manage to squeeze on 2659 so shldn we cut 113
buses and split shift to 147 evening run to get more revenue[based
on SBST reply on sv113's ridership]!?
that would allow SBST to get more revenue from sv147, more revenue
means more profit so SBST would not anyhow increase fares!
The thread should change to "Petition for sv113 to
cut scheduled buses & NO DDs should be allocated"
ACx
Taking 147 can be a miserable affair...as someone who
takes 147 as well, I can attest to this. And at night....the
frequency is just miserable and when the DD comes, its packed with
people!
