Why is 979 not stopping here?
972 bus stop along Bencoolen St taken away. Interesting. I guess very low alighting/boarding? Or maybe with reinstation of Bencoolen St bus stop, this bus stop will be removed including for sv 64, 65 and 139.

Probably because of the right turn to KJE slip road.

Reinstatement.

I think the only reason why it's being removed is because there wasn't a bus stop there to begin with, though I contend to have a bus stop there would be useful for directly accessing SMU. So personally I don't get why there is a need to remove the bus stop, since the nearest ones aren't exactly that close either?
More thoughts:

More thoughts:
- After this bus stop is removed, would 972's destination still be "Bencoolen St"?
- Also since 972 will not stop at Bencoolen St, why don't they skip the YMCA stop as well; just u-turn from Plaza Singapura via Handy Rd back towards Bt Panjang ...
watch out for updates soon

most likely because no yellow box to filter to right lane to enter eway just like for 67 before turning to rochor towards cck
Might as well make 972 terminate somewhere
Once 171 is shortened to BPJ, there could be possibility that 972 might terminate at Marina Center. This will also help them to control 972 better with every second bus going off service back to BPJ as you do not need 32 buses to do the opposite during AM or PM in the off-peak direction. AM I think already controlled a bit, but PM most buses do full route.
Once BPJ Interchange is up, the loading of 972 will increase in off peak direction as well as it will provide direct MRT access to Segar/Senja as alternative to 920/922.

32 buses leh, you want to cut?
yes to be honest, cut as in to ensure buses go at least 50 on eway not 40
32 buses is too much for 972 or is it so?Sometimes duty only 32 but buses only 29 like what GA practice last time.

We said 24 buses was too much, then SMRT made it 27, then 28, then 29 and now added another 3 buses to 32.
Seems like there is really high demand?!?

ok thanks.
To make it worse,I've seen 972 stop at bus stops with hazard light on and crawling at 15-20 kmh at Orchard..Even 106 now is faster
actually off peak a bit too many buses.. sometimes pm peak can see fully seated to bp
