They can deploy some of 169, 180, 184 perm bendies. So, it is okay to deploy full rigid fleets for 180 and 184 during weekends? -

pardon me but i will not buy that unless i see or hear for myself every bus used on that day is a bendy. -
are passengers allowed to enter a bus through the exit door? few days ago i took SBS8388E on 163. the bus was packed so the BC let some passengers enter by the exit door without tapping. wonder if this is allowed?

if 70 DDs are used, very obvious that those from AM 22 & BR 157 DDs will be affected or maybe the new B9s ? haha -

yup. i ever entered a bus through the exit door when taking 307 coz the BC told us to do so. thats because the crowd @ the stadium bus stop was uncontrollable after some sports day event organised by my school

they deployed more than 90 bendies for the singapore airshow shuttle..... can imagine the chaos at the bus stops when the MRT station are closed. 70 bendies wont be enough? like what the CEO say, one MRT train can carry 1400 passengers. let say all of them alight at Clementi and only half of it will want to go to jurong east/chinese garden/boon lay, so 700 will go down to the bus stop at Clementi station... so need at least 7 bendies bus to take in the pax for one train... if the train come at 6 minutes interval and the shuttle buses come at 3min interval, do you think 70 bendies will be enough?
6 mins interval = 10 trains per hour = 7000pax.. but buses only come at 3 mins frequency = 20 buses per hour = 2400pax (based on 120 pax per bus).. so what abt the rest of the pax? still remember some time back at tampines whereby one of the train brokedown and affected the train service for many hours? the crowds there waiting for the buses are so much....

Wee wee, So we can expect choas on the two weekends and letter of complaint shoot to the press and the standard reply from the Organisation.

SMRT forever not enough buses for MRT shuttles de la.
sekali something happened on e isolated JKL - CNG branch i.e. 1 train rosak, hoh sey.
you see CEO say, 4.5 mins during e 2 weekend.. aft it's back to 7 - 8 mins... wow, now SMRT off peak freq 'improves' - 8 mins!!!
21% plunge in profit, now make train more packed.

Sry, Sry, my misinterpretation in reading the newspaper. Its more than 70 bendies...Think SMRT might cock-up some of the bus svcs' frequencies.**Edited my post above**

I am wondering if there is a real need of 963R and 188R, since there is an hourly free shuttle service to RWS from Bt Panjang and CCK respectively.
