Woodlands transport can?

I prefer Korean or European..Yea its true not all European rules and regulations can apply here but at least we can learn a thing or two from them..Best thing is they take care of the BC's welfare,example BCs can save between 15-45 mins upon returning to depot,No need to refuel,bus wash and parking as there is outsourced bus shunters to take care of it.

Hi mr sbs3004X, I have nothing against woodlands transport but I hope they will not win. On few occasions, they even skipped the fixed half-hourly timing for Punggol plaza free shuttle buses. They have the audacity to skip some of the timings. Be it lack of manpower, poor attitude of the drivers, etc, they definitely have no right to take things in their own hands. End up the shoppers wait even longer for the next bus and some even went to take sbs buses which come much more frequent. Cheers. Thanks.

Hi mr sbs6750E, yes shuttle stil use mini bus. No, the Punggol plaza to sengkang shuttle bus is no longer operating. It was taken out after more and more HDB flats in Punggol are up. Both routes go to Punggol mrt. One goes by Punggol field-Punggol way to Punggol mrt then Punggol place to Punggol field to edgefield plains to plaza. One goes by Punggol east to Punggol drive to sentul crescent to Punggol mrt to Punggol central to plaza. Cheers. Thanks.

302 failed WAB quota today again..

Feeder 302 (14 buses)

WAB: 35%

SMB1368T SG

even now 962 still has no A24 when it was promised...now there are more A22s to cover the WAB quota when this service badly needs HC buses especially at the bus stop outside SP at 6pm when you can expect the bus stop to be packed like sardines at this time. What I thought is that those non-WAB bendies can be swopped for DDs from 856 given that 856 is not a WAB service. At least can also save more A22s for other services

Personally, I feel that to tackle the lack of buses and drivers, SMRT should consider giving away its non-basic bus services (premium, express and cross-boarder) to the private operators, to free up buses and drivers for its basic bus services. This can be a short-term measure.

As for a long-term measure, they can consider building up its private bus business...

Premium and RWS8 should be given to private operators.

962 justified for double deckers.Do not talk about A24 anymore.

I know that this service really needs a DD boost...

Sideline, Svc 902 really cannot make it lah the frequency... Then some rigid came after like 10 mins of wait, two bendy buses came...

To make things worst, buses alighting passengers blocked the way to the boarding berth... It was not a good planning for Woodlands Temporary Interchange...

Should have realign Woodlands Square and get more space to accomodate a greater space for bus parking and boarding/alighting berth area.

SMB315C SG

Actually, why they would want to change the format and such... I wonder...

The format is very Gorba-ish..

Font for the route number is relatively "thin and tall"..

Route details are kinda squashed..

SMB315C SG

they are doing testing for the EDS yesterday... saw 972/855 route details on SG1691L..

I have seen 852, 854, 856, 912E, etc. too..

Dunno what happen recently, but i don't see DDs running on 979, what happened to all the Enviros?? Or maybe they found DDs useless for 979 (no!)?

Maybe went for overhaul or major repairs?Already 3 Enviro 500s got accidents..

I saw one Enviro unit doing 979 two days back..

Yes 962 should have got in some DDs instead of the A22 spamming, but what to do.. again DD shortage.

DDs on 979 are doing well.. infact need more... but goes back to the same problem.. SMRT does not have enough DDs... hence the A22 spa,mming.

Yup, I think 979 need some DDs to run at night too. 11pm also got packed bus. There was once SMB5901C ran on AP slot, i think it did well. I happened to board it at night and it managed to pick up all the pax at Bukit Panjang, with 10-15standing pax, fully seated..

Well if LTA supply them the A95s they should deploy 2 for 962.

The whole LTA/SMRT DD saga is going on for too long with no near term solution yet.
