anyhow your 88/143 crossover seems weird. firstly 88 has high demands so taking a bus out at any time will resuult in demand sufferiing on svc.. no doubt 143 has high demands in the need for added bus. furthermore 143 indeed suffers from jammy on route so much so poor 143 always go bleh.
in this case u shd need to know when the biggy crowds start to come on 143 and where and when svc 88 has no more biggy crowds. Both of which i have no idea actually. lol...
frankly i dun see how the crowds on 88 would decrease after a certaian time say late night 730pm it does decrease then by the time your bus jump to 143, has it catered to an increase influx of demand on 143 say 814pm at orchard > JEI? i dun think that even happens.
perhaps a more wiser chosen svc at TPY would be good.
but u do have a pradox here. The crowds on feeders will grow after530pm. 143 is one of those long route service with run time more than 1 hr 45 mins . if u crossover to 143, u drop a bbus out for over 2 and a half hours (if u want that bus back on orginal svc) So u cant choose a feeder out. (this idea one is based on the 262/128 crossover)
then how about any of the trunks in TPY? does the demand shift down after a certain trip from TPY after a certain time? after considering this can u decide if that bus can go do 143 for 2 and a half hours or over. let's say u do find svc X that has this interesting chractersitic. and our dear 143 says it want bus after time X:XX
factor in the fact the BC has to be on 143 for more than 3 hours including back to depot time if S-shift. can u add 3 hours to a shift on that particualr BC who drive TPY svc X ? As mentioned BC do work certain limited hours. i feel 3 hours on a second svc for BC seem a lot to add to BC overall workload.

ah yah u guys brought up the so called meal-break of svc crossover.ZYX
just ignore 8104h. he doesnt know anything.
anway already mentioned earlier http://www.sgforums.com/forums/1279/topics/353520
These above listed r dual-depot x-over services (inu. SMRT & SBST):
KJ 970/187, KJ 106/187, WL 963/700, AM 167/ 859, AM 851/ 859, SL 243/198, SL 143/93 etc. (Help mi add if 4get 2 add)
X-over may bring benefical 2 ppl who is going 2 work, but I dun understand y two depots can substain the x-over services well. Somemore, SBST wans the parent service BC 2 drive another service.
For example, 963 is under WLDEP, it does x-over to another depot service-KJ 700. (I know 700 was under WLDEP last time & SMRT practiced WL 963/700 since 700 was in WLDEP)
Wad's the reason behind it to substain the dual-depot x-over?

Not forgetting KJ 75/920.

75 / 922 also.
Even 920 / 922 has its crossovers too.. (i.e. 920 bus crossover to 922 during 922 mealbreak)

I tot no more 920/922 x-over liao.
It's KJ 75/922 to replace TIB737R when his mealbreak starts.
