  Maybe anyone can suggest which service need to have DD but do not have any in the fleet for now.
  
  For me:
  
  Sv 83 (during peak hours, the queue can get very long at Sengkang Interchange during evening peak hours)
  
  Sv 101 (not sure whether DD can turn through the loop point) (packed during AM and PM peak hours)
  
  Sv 113(can get packed from Kovan MRT-towards Lor Ah Soo during peak hours)
  
  Sv 112(packed during peak hours)
  
  Sv 82(packed during school peak hours)

  That is the reason why 321 had VO2xes instead of Mk2s.

  if you are talking about short feeder services like 83 113 112, yes.. demand may be high BUT, DDs are not required to be put on these services. Ever wonder why 291 had itz DD taken off ? reason is simple. ppl who take 291 are travelling very short distance and they are finding it troublesome to go to the upper deck. SO, what's the point of providing a DD when you know that it will be half empty ? Same case will also be applied to services like 83 113 112. hope you guys understand.
  
  Svc 083 - Ppl usually travel short distance. See above explanation.
  Svc 101 - DDs cant go through that P shape Turnabout.
  Svc 113 - Thats why you have 113A
  Svc 112 - Just need to improve the Freq.
  Svc 082 - Just need to improve the Freq.

  dun think then-SBS care so much about the loads. Cos not only 321 has VO2x, even 326, 327 have them also.

  Sv82 deserve DD! Especially on 'Special Days' where Punggol Point OBS Jetty would be very crowded like people back from OBS Camp or people going to OBS Camp, all the 82s will be filled to the brim and it will take about 4 - 5 buses to clear away the crowd in the case of whole sch or level go to OBS.
  
  Sv5 - Alot of people leh
  Sv13 - Alot of people also
  Sv52 - Peak hours
  Sv54 - Peak hours

  52 and 162 only peak hours i agree but i think they don't want deploy because maybe they don't want to take off after peak hours. after peak hours, u take one of these buses, especially 162, it becomes empty. for a 162 bus that comes in 5-7 mins just after the previous bus(which shouldn't be but it sometimes happens) during non-peak hours, the people become SO LITTLE like until you can see 4-9 people in the bus only and for about 1/5 of the trip throughout. but during sch dismissal time, i know that there are 2 schools in sin ming road, 52 and 162 gets packed like sardines unless there's a next bus coming soon, even so i see both also packed. 13 during the day need, at night just withdraw can liao. 17 mins only about 4-5 people from yck terminal after 8.30 pm. before that at about 7 pm. theres still like 12-17 people queuing. 54 and 59 likewise to 52/162's explanation - after peak hours or sch dismissal time quite little pple.

  How steep are the slopes at Punggol? I don't think they are steeper than those in NTU?
