It doesn't make sense to me why they would add DDs first when
the loading is strictly SDs and not even a single standee on a SD.
Upgrade to DDs whenever in 2017 or 2019 when the demand is
there.
I am a big fan of DDs, but don't see a point in wasting
resources where not needed. If you have excess DDs then give it to
other services such as 58, 59 that still have 40% SDs. Even if not
every bus gets 70 pax, at least each bus gets 50+ pax compared to
around 20 pax on a sv 46 or 30-40 pax on sv 117.
Hi mr busanalyser, as can be easily witnessed in the above
situation, they go ahead with DDs to align with their forecast and
move on with it, even though DDs seem to be excessive in the
introductory year. Once introduced, they do not revert back.
Cheers. Thanks.
