if you think 13-14 mins headway for full trips is not enough to
cope, you are going against your proposal to reinstate 502A and
have even fewer trips than before now.
if you feel express services deserve an extra bus during evening
peak out of goodwill, and then a basic service failed QoS because
there are no more buses, nobody is going to pity the bus company.
so it is silly to do that. a failed basic service has greater
consequences.
back to your observation, i was at MBS this evening and even
though buses were reasonably packed (c'mon it's peak hour),
everyone managed to board. but then we come back to expectations -
if basic services are just as reasonably packed (and not exceeding
95 percent), what do express services deserve anything extra? it is
only an express routing, there's no guaranteed seats which are
classified under premium.
If u see, MBS is the additional stop for svc 502. There should be
more buses deployed.
3 svc 502 arrived at SLBP just now at 9.05pm.
