  It would look something like this, when it got DD, this is not LO3x but its a VO3x.

  I think the former got higher chances than the Latter,S59 only need to improve the frequencies during peaks,While S43 can cope with a few DDs and improve frequencies on Weekends

  I think with the traffic condition these days, it's better to deploy ADDs in case of any incidents on the Eway

  I asked the BC on SBS 7306Z on Service 21 just now. He said the double deckers will only be deployed on Service 13 somewhere in April this year.

  anyway, the current bus fleet was meant for a population of 3 million..
  now singapore has 4.5 million...
  
  and we are having 6.5 million people soon...
  
  its high time the buses here are 90% double deckers?
  
  so many services are having overcrowding.. even DD services..

  See Sv 12 anytime on weekdays and weekends. Overcrowding common even on the B9TLs, where this is a full DD service. With the 2 ex-perm SDs SBS2721R & SBS2723K taken out.
