  If there's the case , why 74 , 174 & 157 hv no problem travelling there? Maybe they're juz saving the cost. Why is it that 52 & 105 doesn't have DD , 105's route shouldn't have problem for a DD. Same for 100 & 186. For 186 , i remembered 7206D was perm on 186 before being transferred to SLBP , just dunno why now got no DD on 186.

  105 cannot because of the flyover at Lor Chuan with 73 and 159

  Excuse me , 74 , 174 and 157 doesn't even go near SCGS , do you even know where is SCGS in the first place? Even when 67 were under SBS also no DD's
  
  And please , 105 cannot have DD due to Lor chuan part
  
  186 is i think due to long frequency and i think not many people take 186 thats why.

  All Bedok, Tampines and Pasir Ris feeder services (except Townlink 222) are unable to use double deckers.
  
  I can probably explain why for Service 225: Low trees at turning at Bedok North Street 3 immediately after turning in from Bedok North Avenue 2.
  
  The others I am unable to explain.

  Yah right, explain DDs on 291, 359. Actually it isn't about low trees, there aint any along these feeders, its the number of stops people usually take, if they take less stops, they would usually be at the lower deck, thus using a DD is not feasible because you'll get a lower deck full but upper deck empty situation. Bendies are better suited for feeders as people don't mind walking to the back.

  I dun really think so. If not Vo2x shouldn't even appear on 186 last time. Now could be because 186 serve most housing estates before going to Shenton Way.

  VO2x also. i remembered 7209X was perm on 186 before being transferred to SLBP for Jurong Industral Service , up till now , no DDs were seen on 186 & i dun think there's chance to see 186 having DD now as it doesn't even happen now , to see it is very vagrant or 100% impossible. Anyone knows other 186 Vo2x perm other than 7209X?
