Definitely. Otherwise the commuters living there all suffer. -

The drivers cause the whole Service 99 to be messed up themselves and yet they need to be emphatised?
lol.. btw, is there fleet addition for service 99 recently? I think there is.. -

Probably, haven't really been noticing it's fleet.But the point is not about whether fleet additions help. No matter how many times they add a bus into 99's fleet so long as those perm drivers are there on 99 the bunching problem will never be solved. 99 isn't suitable for jumpbus.
Hopefully when the new schedule kicks in next week the situation improves and 99 gets blacklisted lesser.

Sv 99's case is way too uniqueno matter how you space e buses apart, they'll cluster together for some reason... go see off peak 10 mins freq, they still brunch

Whatever "additional" buses you see doing 241 (if not the crossovers) are running on OS schedule. The new schedule only kicks in next week.
ya, i saw the BC updating the fare stage manually..In conclusion, there is an additional crossover and 1 P shift today.

From what I know for 241, it's merely a swap of 2 ASD (180 430) for 2 ADD (9100 9109) from 242. No changes to trip timings.
242 will have a small change on top of the conversion of 2 ADD to 2 WSD blocks. -

Ya.. but nt sure they decide to increase trips during the peak hrs for svc 241. Btw, actually I think svc 242 need the DD during the peak hrs..2WSD = 2 weekdays single deck?
