  I Believe there's no need to have such buses , just make the frequency better by adding few more SD's.

  I believe Services like 300/302/800/812/300/900 no need to have full bendies.Maybe 1 or 2 rigid per services might do.Utilise the bendies on other crucial services like 969.SBST should deploy DDs on 334!!

  Hmm...I think 334 is poorly treated over the years. No DD = Always long queue at JE Bus Int frm peak hrs till 9 plus...terrible man...
  
  Put some Lo3X...tat will settle bit of crowd management

  Yeah , Quite sad for 334 , last time they use to have NAC DD's , but now , all the Merz 0405's , i think 334 should have at least a DD for peak hours maybe? hmm.

  They dun deploy DD cos there is svc 98 serving more than 3/4 of the route for svc 334.. For peak, I also think that there should be a crossover.. Maybe frm Svc 98 or Svc 143??

  Then start loving it. There's a rigid on 912 every weekday now. This week is 594K so far.

  913 now also has one rigid. TIB808U
  For 900 it cannot live without bendies on peak periods until 11am and 8pm, unless you mean deploying rigids during off peak which I think is too much hassle by changing buses 4 times a day. Noticed that 900 got rigid during off peak night shift on random days with random buses. Liking it so far too
