Same problem as 151.
I also have no idea why the morning DD leaves right after the
previous K230UB....and then with the downroute at Bukit Timah, the
bus stays virtually empty the entire trip.
Both services also have their DDs deployed during non-peak hour
although my guess was that it was to "ferry" the DD back to the
depot, or to hit peak hour traffic from the destination. That was
observed on 151....but the only times I have seen DDs on 163 is at
night or weekends. Granted, I was working, so these were the only
times I saw the DDs. But to see them anyway was quite
.
Crudely speaking regarding DD deployments on 163 and 151, DD gam
pui?
Here's a pic of 151's DD from on board at 8AM leaving HG
Int.




What a joke.
Like what I have said, complain to SBST about this. Complain here
doesn't help.
