to now i still don't know the reason why cross border services
aren't given any high capacity buses.
someone mentioned there is a 150 buses limit. then due to the
exchange rate between S$ and RM, the traffic on the Woodlands
Crossing becomes very heavy. 170 alone had 40 KUBs, not counting
170X. we have also 160, 950 along with other buses on this very
link.
Any 950 buses that call at opposite MSL will be full during peak
hours. 856 which calls at WTCP will also be full at the same stop,
despite it being a DD majority service. SMB315C had said to intro
950M between WDL and WTCP. note that transfers from any service at
WTCP to bus services at WDL X-ing has a 45mins limit. is the
majority doing such transfers?
The height limit at both WDL X-ing and BSI are both 4.5m at
least. this certainly allows DDs on Cross Border Services.
JB-rigged buses are required for such services. SPAD cannot allow
DDs to be JB-rigged? LTA does not want DDs for Cross Border
Services? the U-turn under Jalan Terbau is not 4.5m?
I think SMB315C's suggestion of 950M is more to compensate for
connection between Woodlands and WTCP, as he also suggested
amending 911, 912, 913 to Marsiling MRT, skipping WTCP.
