  sv 23 easily beats sv 8 queue at tampines interchange anytime. i barely see a half seated single deck for sv 8 at tampines int. but now with the move to its current location, the load may increase a bit.

  I've noticed that if I compare KUB E4 and E5

  E4 gives most of the problems but...

  E5 gives most of the door problems, when they open or close the rear doors, they have this kind of hissing weird sound.

  What do you think? Correct me if I'm wrong.

  Which part of the route? Yesterday, evening 7.30pm I saw a 109 DD at YCK / AMK Ave 3 Junction fully packed to the brim and I took a relatively empty 43 that came behind it.

  At Buangkok Green, the two met again and the same 109 was empty. So it looks like most of the loading was from Serangoon to HGG Ave 9 and 4.

  Not surprising actually, bendies can go 80km/h, but forever won't beat the SMRT 0405's speed of 90km/h.

  There is 1 main point in the portion of the route - Hougang 1. Many people alighting there now since Gong Cha, KFC, Kopitiam and many other shops opened/reopened since a year ago.
