  dunno.. but dun think LTA/PTC go check also..today the buses are less than  2 bus stops away at AMK Ave 4. even bunching in CBD also no issue, cos for alighting only.. last time, only one person will take sv549 at Blk 156 bus stop. now at least 7-8 person waiting for Sv549 at the same bus stop...

  Just my guess, cannot compare with SMRT 531 since SMRTB's speed is so difference from SBST.

  
  nothing to do w/ speed.

  it's the freq. 4 - 8 mins  front bus stucked by traffic light or sort, 2nd bus might catch up quickly

  i dun believe svc 113 becoming wab soon, unless HG is planning to intake 5xxx series and assign them to svc 113 within these 2 weeks..

  or do u mean svc 119, 133 or 163 going wab instead?

  notice the 5K series K230s are going to the depot which services are going to be WAB-ed. Your statement in bold is likely to happen. Hougang Int should have the notice by now.

  good. 4 new schedules to compile! Hopefully they put in the non-wab trips also.. calculating them sometimes can kill esp for downroutes/SWTs and Townlinks (S63 S359).

  first time that JIS did not cut bus during CNY period. It has been the trend every year.

  Confirmed is service 113. Saw the notice at Hougang interchange too. It's high time that service 113 BCs need to get themselves trained in the new buses and also to handle the WAB features too.

  Expect redeployments in service 113 from next week onwards.

  they can either get the new KUB, or simply transfer from other services in HG, such as Sv163 or Sv 156 or 109...

  What u think? In the 1st place did u see any double deckers operate on these routes going WAB?

  Unless it is services 25 or 88 going WAB, these 2 services have Scania K230UBs as well as plenty of Volvo B9TLs in its fleet...

  Services 63, 334 and 359 ever had NAC DDs before way back in late 90s.

  Service 113 was merged from feeders 321 and 326 whereby 326 also had NAC DDs in the past too.
