those at Jln besar wanting to use 23 to go to Tampines can just do a 66/67 to 23 transfer at Rochor Canal Road (the bus stop besides Sim Lim Square)
these 30 pax u referring to may be passengers from Tampines who want to get to serangoon road direct
Possible. Either way I have seen while getting in at Tekka Center, the bus already has a good # of pax. And if you note the distance between Jalan Besar and Serangoon road is quite long to walk - so may be people don't mind paying 10 cents more if required. -

Why don't they just have it terminated at Queen St or Marina Centre Terminal
23 used to loop at Tomilison Rd -

I thought DD got 8 wheels.
2 in front, 6 behind.
4 or 6 wheels how to take the load?
tomorrow when I take DD bus, I will go count.
-
Definitely not 10 wheels.
I stand by my 8 wheels.
Are you all sure you all are bus fans?
-
Your ''wheel'' means 1 tyre or 2 tyre? If 1 tyre means 1 ADD got 10 wheels
2 each for the 2 rear axles and 1 for each front axle. If you see clearly from this pic I got from SgWiki [ Direct link from SgWiki, no upload to photobucket or anything ] that it got 2 pair of wheels each for the rear axles but have 1 wheel 4 the front. Since buses need to have symmetrical wheel position to ensure the centre of gravity does not move off-core, it is CONFIRMED to have 10 WHEELS

Air con double deckers only have 8 wheels.
- 2 front wheels
- 2 tag wheels
- 4 rear most wheels
Look under the buses to get the answer.

Finally, I have someone who agrees with me.
You all better go count the wheels again when you all take the bus tomolo.
