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...

  I always take 1474U and pack like sardines...

  at least the situation got improve, i still remember waiting for 9mins for a 190 on a sunday towards cck at night last year only to get an a22, with passengers sitting on the foldable seat and it was full to door... now it's better, i hardly see a22s on 190 nowadays but even if i see an a22 the next bus is not that far or front bus is quite near

  I guess it depends on slot also.. could be front bus run very fast (Many 190 BC like to run fast).. 

  SMB1474U should have a fixed slot like SMB5048R right?

  Should be,even SBS6418 also saved from the scrapyard..Rear all repair and i got a feeling the handling isn't good as it used to be anymore

  Citaro SBS6535K on 43M now. Buangkok MRT towards Punggol at 12:45 pm. Malay BC. 

  Luckily it's still school holidays now. SD can be full at certain off peak timings on school days, though not necessarily students.
