  Yes I believe too, Sv 11 will have more people taking it after Stadium opens. Hence, I have never advocated that it should be withdrawn unlike 115. But Sv 11 should definitely be extended to Eunos by 2015.

  The problem is the buses that the company uses .MAN A22 is just suitable for low demand route.

  Not 100% bus problem but their erratic frequencies and run time?They really need to study the run time,pax loadings during off or peak,weekdays to holidays pattern.Deploy 23 buses for 966 also no use if more than half is on split shift.To make matter worse always 2-3 duty blocks no standby BCs to drive.966 nowadays all got good loadings even during off peaks,11 starters simply not enough.

  Btw today 969 is quite superb,seen number of bendies for both side running.

  67 a bit haywire.One moment there's not even a single 67 bus when there's 3 969 buses at Tampines..Loadings it's almost full house for 969 and 67 quite a number of pax waiting

  With new DDs for SMRT I hope these issues will come under control.

  but how many DDs they going to buy no one knows. if they only buy a few to act as wayang fleet then still no point. for the sv965 situation i mentioned earlier; if the freq increase then it wouldnt have happened since theres no jam along the expressway.

  You are on the ground, they are not, they look at computer data and then plan accordingly which is never correct coz they did not take into passengers with bags...

  thats why SMRT dare not display its licenced carrying capacity in a prominent position with a chart big enough for people to see. they must hide it above the drivers cabin and print it so small till no one can ever notice.
