  waaa i miss the old times during SBS era @ CCK area.

  190 used to pass CCK Way, CCK Road, BP Road.

  Than, TIBS Took Over.

  LRT opened and 190 route ammend from CCK Int to CCK Ave 4 , CCK Dr, Teck Whye Ave and back to the same route.

  SMRT should only buy K310UD, so far we don't have any Scania DD except SBS7000E which is something very long ago.

  Plus old service 5 (Bt Panjang - Lor 1 Geylang) too, LA and MB0305s.

  Also to add on for services 106, as well as NAC VO2x on services 189 and feeder 300.

  Btw which part of service 67's route can't have DDs? Seems like every part of the route can leh?

  I know it's off topic, but does anyone know why 33 can't get DD? The demand seems quite high.

  I see, thanks.

  Which explains that service 170 will never have DDs too, other than the Malaysia JB customs .

  I am only showing an example of services that should be using dd due to the nature of the service. I do know theres a height restrictions in both Changi Airport and Yishun Int. But should this restrictions be a deterrent to better bus services and a better transport network? The road to victoria peak in hk has a bridge with a height limit of 3.9meteres, does that mean no dd can run on this road?

  We are talking about future possibilities, SMRT depots cannot accommodate deckers now too, but we aren't still discussing about this topic? Who knows what will happen years later? Maybe the entrance of yishun int will be demolished to temporary accommodate for deckers? Maybe cga will create a separate bus terminal accessible via crystal movers?

  For the height limit for the bridge, special 4.19meters dd are being used on this road to overcome the limit. Everyone is happy, the govt dont need to demolish the bridge, bus co dont need more drivers to drive single decks, passengers dont need to stand too.

  There are always challenges that ppl (in this case smrt) have to overcome, it dosent mean that by avoiding, the problem will be solved.
