Does Service 240 needs DD buses during peak hours?

honestly if 28 can turn right at st 34 to st 32 with ease and with leylands, i dun see a problem with 240.
yah lo, BC must turn a lot one, must be very tiring, I pity them....
Everyone can see an example on Service 15 turning from Telok kurau rd to Joo Chiat Pl, driver turn two rounds, and somemore there's a car so what blocking him, adding more difficulties to him, but he din even bang anything, but only rmb he did a bump, i suppose he actually drove up the kerb

how long can e VO2x stay around? furthermore it's alrdy reducing no of svs w/ NAC buses -
OT: How I wish those VO2x can stay longer.

but what if ppl complain 240 is not FAC feeder service? -
OT: The sound of the vibration of windows and metal bars in the bus is classic.

i agree with that. 28 is a good example. ave 2 straight ave 9 era it was using DD. then when it was amended they still could have DD on it.

cus see the queue on 240 at Boon Lay Int on peak hours, its bad and every one need squeeze on single deck buses.
me 2VO2x "S" shift x-over will do

and its jsut a short journey?
oh well just squeeze on a merc and don't deliberate so much since jasonhsu92 thinks that VO2x is just a crappy suggestion.

basically a normal ADD can turn into kang ching rd from either yuan ching or corporation with ease with no point of doubt on that, some of the bus fans should probably travel more bef they shoot off their mouth. there's no centre divider at kang ching rd. 28 has a centre divider from st 34 to st 32.

i believe theres at least 1 SL SP VO2x right?
-
actually there is another road can be used for reference, i did saw SBS9405H with overturned destos popped out at JW St 41 to JW Ave 1 towards Cooperation Rd. so it believed to came from BBDEP>Boon Lay Way > JW St 51 > JW St 41 as downroute to there. if this can, 335 getting DDs is not a problem in case if demand arises.
i remember once ago, JW ave 1 near my house got kena serious traffic accident involving a van, motorcycle and a car between JW st 41/42 and BLK 484-491 car park entrance/exit to JE direction was closed. all bus services had to divert to JW St 41>JW St 51>Boon Lay Way before continuing to normal route.
if 179 can overcome the roads at NTU, why 240 cant?
see my edited post above

I feel demand for 335 is only strong during peak hours... but I think a single deck can handle it. If improve the frequency a little, I believe the overcrowding can be solved. Turning into JW St 52 from JW St 51 after turning right from Boon Lay Way might post a problem for DD in my opinion because I experienced a few times the O405 mounted kerb while turning.

LTA can relocate the white lines used to prevent vehicles goin beyond the line when red traffic lights, a few steps behind at there. -

Eg: 334 turning right from JW Ave 1 into JW St 42. One poor estimation and the side mirror will be gone...
Best solution is to widen the roads but chances are slim....

No sense?What you suggested can only be a stop - gap measure, aft e VO2x are gone how? Buy 10.6m ADDs?? Things have to be found w/ a long term solution eventually
As for NAC buses, give them I think ppl would also siam esp since 240 itself is quite frequent

its a stop to gap measure so it cannot be done? if thats so, how come i see 179, 241, 242 VO2x full to the door?
another senseless opinion. also, any normal ADD can turn at kang ching rd lah.

B7TL NAC ADD
On a serious note, wouldn't a few extra EEV help? If 240 already like this, cannot imagine how 180/300 is going to be...

stop gap is only good if it can last for 3 - 5 years. too short, I might as well do something tat can last for a decade. This is espeically so since MK3 & LO3x are due to be replaced soon.
for 179, 241 & 242, isn't it part of crossovers w/ Sv 255? If really need, then Svs like 334 should also use VO2x -
do you all know that service 240 is unique?
Notice that after one turn of 1 road calling 1 bus stop den another turn to another road calling 1 bus stop den turn another road calling 1 bus stop..
for example - towards Taman jurong:
- Coporation Road calling parc vista condo b.s only and turn left into
- Boon Lay way calling opp lakeside station bus stop only and turn right into
- Yuan Ching Road calling opp blk 134D b.s only and turn right into
- Kang Ching Road calling 1 bus stop..
except Boon Lay Place and Coporation Drive calling more that 1 stop..
-
Lol... My 291 needs ADD x-over during peak hours too...
Fantastic long Qs during peak hours on both loops & interval 16+ mins at pm off peak (checked with IRIS)
-
i wonder how VO3x want to turn left from Kang Ching Road to Coporation Drive as the junction is small
-
people always say small junction, not fit for DDs..
but many examples of narrow roads with DDs, like 28, 58 -
