163 don't need to extend to YCK MRT, too many duplications.. There is always 86 to take and 86 needs more double deckers. :D

If the junction of Lorong Chuan and Braddell Road can be improved, then 73, 105 and 159 might be able to use double deckers again. -

The high frequency is because of the additional buses that starts service in the Tampines area. You can see KUBs parked at the Tampines Ave 6 route waiting for service during peak hours. I think that DDs could be deployed for these buses as they do not need go to the airport, so height restrictions is not a problem. Also, additional buses are needed during 8 to 9 pm.

The problem lies with the height limit of the CTE Braddell flyover. -

I think Lorong Chuan should be integrated with the junction of CTE and Braddell Road so that it will meet Braddell Road before the CTE flyover. That will leavce ample space on top for double deckers to cross.

One VO3X Batch 2 on 163 today, rego unknown.
Cheers.

Doubt they can do anything to that road for now.
Cheers.

today, the problem has yet to be solved.. often, a simple tweaking of traffic light timings does the tricks but $2m salary brains usually overlooks such simple suggestions... -
