  If you tried staning say during peak hrs..

  The rear area aft the exit is not even meant for standee...

  If such buses are deployed to rts like 27, sure die

  
  It is all right for one line of standees. 27 problem is unique. It should have short working trips from Hougang to Tampines and use double deckers for the short services. LTA is another fool. They should build the bus terminals that caters the height to be double decker friendly. So much for talking and talking about improving public transport.

  27 is friggin crowded.

  But it still isn't as crowded as many HGDEP services during peak hour. Probably because of its huge SD fleet.

  I can't remember ever having to skip more than 1 27 bus to get on board.

  The same can't be said for 89, 74, 147 etc etc.

  In short, 27 can be left as it is at the moment.

  And yes, I still believe 151 and 163 do not need DDs. But if its their way to discouraging me from taking CCL since I have figured the DD timings, then its working.

  147's KUBs are not coping well.

  Can't imagine putting the low floor buses on that service.

  Certainly MAN has one advantage. SEATS.

  74, 147 would need to use full ADD fleet la... It's always the downstream tat's giving problems...

  Tat said, sometimes on borderline cases there's empty seats on upper deck at times..

  190 also get these buses which can't carry much standee...

  The worst type of new gen buses ever procured...

  it's not the bus produced that's cocked up; it's the planning.

  just like citaros, the right side can be full standee area, just like kubs or OCs or SBST mb0405.

  i prefer smth like that, where capacity won't be compromised.
