This height will be perfect for the cross-border routes.
You must knew that DDs can clear custom height limit but some parts of JB DDs cant ply due to low lying trees,Their overhead bridges which is 4.1m for most part
SMB3537J out on Sv 169 today.
0720 hrs Yishun MRT bus stop towards Woodlands. Timing should be 3116R's. Bus behind is 1439Y.
Great for svc like 169 receive DDs,Hopes 187 will follow suit

You are wrong.. their overhead bridges are 5m in height....

I see, thanks for the info. Shall see tmr if 3116R's slot is done by another Enviro cameo or back to 3116R.
But kinda glad at least they got the timings right this time for an Enviro to appear, even if it might be a cameo.

Possible that 965 two BSEP MANs get the ADLs considering 969 cannot get more DDs from BSEP side unless fleet add (which I am expecting soon).
965 the demand very high meh till need DDs? If like dat they should have gotten bendies years ago unlike 969 wich had bendies from the start

3 perm + 3525(covered by 3531A today) cross. = TOTAL 4 *
* Base on what I know :)

Bro they have already tried bendy at Sengkang,The exit part is too narrow and chances of kerbing is very high..

Ok that is justified but im not sure if 965 needs DD. It only have 2 BSEP add compared to other service like 966,857 etc
The loadings can get crazy bro,and for 969 during off peak dont underestimated it bro..Ive ever drive 969 during 1.45-3pm at Yishun only a full standee all the way to Tampines
Originally posted by TIB 585L:Ok that is justified but im not sure if 965 needs DD. It only have 2 BSEP add compared to other service like 966,857 etc
Yes but BSEP has extra DDs to give.. It cannot give to 106/190 etc coz its BSEP quota is over.
It is still waiting for tree pruning at Dunearn/Bukit Timah road to give DDs to 67/960.
965 does have high demand between Yishun and Woodlands often shared by 969. Hence, since they cannot increase capacity on 969... they are doing it on 965... not bad I guess.
965 from Sengkang to Yishun just about okay loading.
969 can have more DDs if Amdep transfer 2 slots to them

And i took 969 alot of times to Tampines at different hours including night time. This is my general observation, i dont wish to be specific coz i took 969 umpteen times for a period of nearly 10 years.
Morning peak- Packed to the door, even bendies
Off peak- Fully seated at WRI, got standees from Admiralty to Chong Pang, Got standees from Chong Pang to both MRT. Khatib to Yishun, got standees but not until the door.
Evening peak- Same as morning peak, damn crowded esp at hot spots
Night (from 8pm to 2345 last bus)- Fully seated most of the time, got some standees at hot spots.
But no harm having 5-6 DDs anyway,even 119 got 2 bsep DDs

965 although i hardly took it, in my opinion it is like a leftover bus. Whatever pax 969 cant take, throw to 965 as it shares the same route for more than half the route. Only the Ave 7 and Sengkang part is different so the loads is even out in a way.
Peak hour time, people chose 161 over 965 over obvious reason wich is why 161 always pack and people chose 969 over 965 due to Chong Pang n it has bendies
Actually 965 doesn't need more than 3 DD...can say even at night, the demand is just suitable for MAN. Peak hours probably yes, there's high demand. So likely 1AP 1/2 split shift.
SMRT should also fixed the timing for 965A to allow commuters to enjoy more spacious bus.
965 just need frequency adjustment.

Bro... but have to get from SMRT side... not BSEP... BSEP quota is over for 969 unless it adds one more bus... so max 2 ADLs from BSEP and 2 crossover from 850E.
