  last time Serangoon NEL also got this problem... the bus stop was originally a taxi stand. in the end they decide to seal up the taxi stand and now buses stop along the road instead of entering the bus bay

  how come now like hk style must add 'A' to DD & SD?

  wow its about time 27 had DDs. And I like the idea of 163 having DDs too.

  Actually, to think of it, would our transport system be so much better if ALL the services(SBST) were DDs? maybe not now, but in the near future?

  25 get some crossover buses (SP buses in AMDEP become SP/25*)

  854 go and deploy more bendies! I recommend this

  TIB736T

  (AMDEP 854AMDEP SP)

  TIB1098U

  (AMDEP SPAMDEP 854)

  For any service, replacing 1 rigid with a bendy bus may not actually be a practical solution. Instead, the service should add the bendy bus to the fleet. Because, sometimes if let's say a bendy bus covers a rigid slot, the demand either will be too little or it will skyrocket till the bus is packed to the brim. A good example of such a service would be Service 61, which deploys bendy bus cameos on regular rigid slots for WLDEP side.

  I miss the old 139 DDs. But uh DD on 145??

  Yeah I missed LO3X on 139 too.

  Due to height limitations at certain places, DD can't be deployed.
