  EB88 passes by Yio Chu Kang on a request (by drivers) basis.

  Route is: amdep, YCK (most of the time just skip cos drivers would take 45, 70, 265 and 268 out), AMK, YCK (Request by drivers onboard), amdep, YIS (usually every hour on the clock), amdep.

  Just have a question to ask...hope nobody gets offended:)

  In your opinion, do you think Service 165 needs the DDs? Or rather, does it need that many DDs?

  i noticed on SBST website that the charges for placing bus ads are charged according to which zone the buses are plying. Does such difference restrict the interchange controller when selecting which bus to do cameoing? for instance, a bus plying orchard cannot be deployed to cameo on feeder routes because the advertiser has paid a higher price for a bus that ply through the city?

  Dont think so. I see fancy fool ads on feeders before. Waraku on 291.

  Yeah, but I think Service 132 has a higher load of students in the morning... in the afternoon, there's quite a good load of students too.  I think if we compare 132 and 165, 132 does deserve the DDs more than 165. How's the load during evening peak from Orchard to AMK? High or low?

  Thats why you have perm stickers and perm deployment for.

   

  There is no restiction regarding which buses can cameo on which service, except WABs, Dedicated Training Buses, Test Buses (eg 364B during VLS test in 2004), and to a lesser extent, perm Charter buses (which SBST only has 1, 310G). Cameos are acceptable due to operational constraints, but I don't think advertisers would care so much about their ads.
