sbs8104h bro. basically if you want to state some crossover
ideas u have to state it with reasons.
anyhow your 88/143 crossover seems weird. firstly 88 has high
demands so taking a bus out at any time will resuult in demand
sufferiing on svc.. no doubt 143 has high demands in the need for
added bus. furthermore 143 indeed suffers from jammy on route
so much so poor 143 always go bleh.
in this case u shd need to know when the biggy crowds start to
come on 143 and where and when svc 88 has no more biggy crowds.
Both of which i have no idea actually. lol...
frankly i dun see how the crowds on 88 would decrease after a
certaian time say late night 730pm it does decrease then by the
time your bus jump to 143, has it catered to an increase influx of
demand on 143 say 814pm at orchard > JEI? i dun think that even
happens.
perhaps a more wiser chosen svc at TPY would be good.
but u do have a pradox here. The crowds on feeders will grow
after530pm. 143 is one of those long route service with run time
more than 1 hr 45 mins . if u crossover to 143, u drop a bbus out
for over 2 and a half hours (if u want that bus back on orginal
svc) So u cant choose a feeder out. (this idea one is
based on the 262/128 crossover)
then how about any of the trunks in TPY? does the demand shift down
after a certain trip from TPY after a certain time? after
considering this can u decide if that bus can go do 143 for 2 and a
half hours or over. let's say u do find svc X that has this
interesting chractersitic. and our dear 143 says it want bus after
time X:XX
factor in the fact the BC has to be on 143 for more than 3 hours
including back to depot time if S-shift. can u add 3 hours to a
shift on that particualr BC who drive TPY svc X ? As mentioned BC
do work certain limited hours. i feel 3 hours on a second svc for
BC seem a lot to add to BC overall workload.

ah yah u guys brought up the so called meal-break of svc
crossover.
