So next to the entrance is the stairs, and in between the BC cabin and stairs is the walkway to the first level of the bus? And the bus did stop at every destination which is on the board?

yes there's a walkway directly to the lower deck seats behind. but the back half of the stairs links back to the lower deck too (for those from upper deck to alight at rear door). so the stairs are accessible from both front and back doors.

1 hour frequency.

i see additional trips in-between those 1-hour frequencies departing kotaraya II terminal at 6.15pm and 7.15pm...

for TS8, seems like they don't dare to move to even headways of 75 minutes so it's easier for commuters to remember, even though there is currently a gap filled by a missing 5th bus, leading to a headway of 60-60-60-60-120.

TS1 should be using 5 buses with a layover of 10 mins at Kotaraya II Ter and an hour at Changi Airport after every trip.

Superbus SG

Upper deck seats 37

Upper deck seats 49. Lower deck seats 12 + 18 standees. Total 79 pax.

Seating capacity comparable to Classic coach (61 seats).

For now, only 4 buses deployed. I 'm also anticipating another bus to be added. In fact, the headway published on the complimentary tissue packs states that AM peak (southbound) and PM peak (northbound) is 30 minutes. The timetable on the website is a tweaked version.

TS1 buses layovers at Kotaraya for an hour. At least that was the observation on the first weekend of operations.
