  1370K 1371H 1374A bunched at Bt Timah Rd

  1370K was first, 1374A was second, 1371H was third

  In the end, 1374A was way ahead reaching WRI first, 1371H was a ghost bus and came in last while my bus 1370K overtook 1371H as Woodlands Stadium.

  Off peak also can bunch up power ah

  Yeah I see quite abit of assumptions too. I think 99, 241 and 243 also bunches up alot. I have also seen some those very low chance services bunch quite often. Like 43, 70, 147, 181, 300, 854, 913, 964. Services like 162 and 162M also bunch quite often.

  For 187, Ive see that ADL and MAN A22 bunch very often too. I guess its cos of the performance capabilities of the 2 different models? MAN A22 very fast acceleration as opposed to the ADL which has quite a normal pick-up. Besides passenger boarding/alighting activity at each stop for 187 is quite high. DD sure to be slower than SD, especially when people start coming down from a upper deck.

  27 is by design. Since DDs cannot ply, most often see 2 buses leaving together even from HG Interchange. Does not matter, because load being so high, people need 2 buses to come together.
