All,
hooray. On SBS 3504U double decker sbs 117 from punggol to
sembawang now.
Riveria
LRT bus stop: 5.59am wait sbs 3/83/85
6.03am
take sbs 83
6.11am
reach Punggol int
6.17am
sbs 117 arrives at berth B4
6.47am
reach khatib Mrt
6.59am
reach sembawang int.
Just to
get an estimated feeling of the time to reach
destination.
Of
course not going to be super accurate because today is Sunday and
it is the 3rd trip for a new launched service.
Initial
findings:
48 min
from Punggol east (Riveria LRT) to reach khatib mrt. This is slower
than sbs 85 which takes 33 min plus 10 min waiting time.
The
longer time for sbs 117 is attributed to the winding around seletar
aerospace and the super long yishun ave 1. This is as good as sbs
85 going 1 round in Sengkang east to west. So to all detractors who
say sbs 117 is much faster, please think again. Take note there are
only 2 passengers on sbs 117 today and the timing is already as
such.
Exactly
1 hr from Punggol east (Riveria LRT) to reach sembawang int. Sbs
117 takes 42 min from Punggol int to sembawang int. In future, with
increase in load, may need add 10 to 15 min.
Cheers.
Thanks.
I heard when Sv103 vs Sv117 at Seletar area, Sv103 would reach
Yishun First? Is it true?
Anyway, it's still first few days...hard to say. Look at 972,
initially the journey time was long, but it's shorter now
iirc..
