Did service like 960 being affected as well?

No wonder.. missed SG5453G at Chinatown today and SG5573T came about 2 mins after, and SG5573T caught up with SG5453G at SMU... SG5573T met with many red lights soon after and it again caught up with SG5453G at Bukit Panjang...
SG5573T reached CCK INT at 1930hrs, but according to DDU, it was supposed to leave CCK INT at 1930hrs (mealbreak gone)...
SG5573T was on 190-190-28 today...

LTA was trying to squeeze 130 pax in a single rigid bus.
Timings given for 248 seems to be too long...
SG5468P (248-sw-301) was ahead of schedule for close to 16 mins at around 1810hrs yet DDU was green and timing was just 0:30 (unsure if ahead or behind time)... means front bus (likely all buses since no bunching was spotted) is super ahead of schedule....

190 getting good stuff again...

190 with rigids? Seriously. Not a good thing.

My good stuff means special bus like new demonstrators. I took SMB1474U on 190 a few times and the bus is always packed until after Dhoby Ghaut where the crowd is not too high. 190 should use full fleet DD to cater the demand.

honestly it depends on the distance between the front dd and the back sd that makes the sd crowded

A few times i took 190 MAN A22 (190-190-27) from ChinaTown at around 1830hrs, most of the time it can manage the crowd and will be fully seated with few standees throughout the whole journey to CCK. It will usually catch up with SMB5048R (front bus 190-190-16) at BP or Teck Whye. Only yesterday it was quite far away from front DD so it was packed to the door...
