  i nv see super long queue in the morning these days.. but I see long queue on svc 179A buses at BNL and even take up the SMRT parking space.

  
  maybe Pioneer MRT is e factor

  to be honest if there's ppl complaining abt more 179 buses, it wun work of implementing 179A from Pioneer instead, ppl in e neighbourhood might complain of noise and exhaust issues

  Only tips is not to take 179 from Pioneer MRT.

  Actually they can change more to 179A. Cos Service 241 covered most of the neighbourhood part.

  I dunno, but I still feel 179A leave it as a literal point to point service

  as for 179 vs 241. Maybe I can put it leave it as it is to cushion each other i.e. 179 to cushion 241 during AM peak towards BNL or sort

  Free Shuttle? Surely I believe capacity is going to be quite limited

  But I feel it's just going to make Nanyang Dr/ Lien Ying Chow Dr more congested

  tat's slow.. cos for big buses, they can just start from gear 2 unless situation does not allow i.e. steep slope alrdy

  nope, it's not about height restrictions that 15 cannot use DDs. It's that Joo Chiat Road is too narrow and when turning is very hard.

  Joo Chiat PLACE or Joo Chiat ROAD?

  15 still cannot use DD coz of the low trees at the JCP and TKR junction.

  not sure la, it's juz sumwhere around joo chiat. the low trees, the narrowness and the sharp turning to be exact.
