There aren't any loading statistics recorded, just
observations.
Took the 0710 hours departure for Service 181M yesterday (23
March 2016). Despite the fact that this service is supposedly
dedicated for the students of Corporation Pr Sch, none of the
students actually took the service to school throughout the
trip.
Being an alma mater of Corporation Pr Sch, I briefly remembered
that the assembly time is approximately between 0745 and 0800
hours. Thus, the trip I took should have some students going to
school, since 181M arrived the campus between 0720 and 0730 hours.
However, there were none and several students still chose to walk
from the residential blocks Jurong West Ave 3 to school (to save on
the bus fare possibly and eliminate the hassle to cross the road if
they took 181M).
Another thing I noticed is that 2 foreign workers from the
nearby factories along Jurong West St 23 actually used 181M to get
to Boon Lay Int. Thus, 181M ends up benefitting factory workers
instead of the students it is supposed to target? (No qualms though
for the factory workers to take 181M).
