haha. svc 3 is fine. 222's mkIVs crossover to 30e so no choice. 162 should get DDs before any svc i feel. 52 can get s shifter DD. i wun be surprised if 109 get s shift DD with 186 and 225 having a chance to get DD. i hope 410 get DD
I think Townlink 291 should be the first as it may be crowded before and after school hours. also it passes through 4 schools (3 Sec and 1 Pri). Maybe 6 Dd would be fine. hope it not a b9Tl (as perm) or else.........fainted... -

I believe so.. I know there's one DD block in front of behind the xover block that's why they removed it and became 135/70.. but even that is gone also. lol.. -

Its still about feeder/townlink services. Anyway, Townlink 291 can have Volvo Mark IV buses as single deck buses. -

a few DDs for 291 would be good. 291 has a crazy demand. as for 225 it is ridiculous. last time they removed the 291 DDs cos people refused to go up due to the short journey.

When I take 222 for just 2 stops, I will go up as long as there are no seats on the lower deck. -

-
yeah. if i take S291 DD also i wouldnt go up.
we need more hardworking people like i miss old announcements. -
yday i took VSO on 72. cannot lah. VSOs are really good for feeders.

Actually, if both public transport operators (SBS Transit & SMRT) are really flexible enough in terms of their fleets and the type of buses they buy, bendies should be deployed on those short haul services such as Service 291, and double deck should be deployed on those long haul services such as Service 190 and 960..
But.... That's already a fat hope case because SBS Transit had already sold their 2 precious bendies away..

the two SBST bendies serving S290 were really good.

Yes. SBS should have bought more than 51 VSOs.

i disagree. buy more B9TL. if you want volren bodywork like those B10TL would be fine.
51 is enough. they are slow, they waste fuel and they are noisy.
