Sorry to add another poll, but I was quite surprised by the result of the other one!

I voted "something else" BUZ the 196 and send all 196 and 195 services via Ivory St tunnel.
Only marginal time savings are possible with increased frequencies as the route is already saturated with high frequency services, any additional time savings from more buses would be minimal (less than ~2.5 minutes waiting time saved).

The idea that larger buses cannot be used on 199 services NOT going via Ivory Street needs to be checked.
Negative people... have a problem for every solution. Posts are commentary and are not necessarily endorsed by RAIL Back on Track or its members.
