254/255/257 loads can easily cross 100 pax.. Why no BSEP yet or even fleet add from SBST side... Totally ignore the JIS area.

shellstation SG

At Jalan Kayu, is 39/858, 103 or 117 faster to Yishun MRT?

SMB315C SG

I wonder who mentioned about 103 & 138 DD debut in this forum.. Hmmmmmm

SMB128B SG

At Jalan Kayu, is 39/858, 103 or 117 faster to Yishun MRT?

39 > 858 > 117 > 103

At Jalan Kayu, is 39/858, 103 or 117 faster to Yishun MRT?

103 (fast, limited seating)

117 (slow, with seats)

39 (fast, normally packed)

Hi mr SBS2652G, the starting point mr shellstation mentioned is jalan Kayu. So you should put 103 (slow, limited seating). Not (fast, limited seating). The journey Sbs 103 takes is at least 27 min from Jalan Kayu to yishun. Sbs 39 and SMRT 858 takes 15 min. Take note start from Jalan Kayu. Cheers. Thanks.

39 > 858 > 117 > 103

Hi mr SMB128B, if start Jalan Kayu, you are right. Buses like 39/85/858 are much faster than 103/117 because they go expressway from Jalan Kayu onwards. Cheers.

Isn't that common sense that 103 will reach faster than 117, given that 117 will have to ply all of Yishun Ave 1 and Khatib MRT to get to Yishun MRT.

If your point is which connects NSL MRT faster then 117 and 103 maybe similar or 117 could connect Khatib marginally faster.

Hi mr busanalyser, no. Not common sense. About same timing. See where is starting point. If start seletar aerospace Dr (after baker st), about same. 117 has seletar west link (3.5km non-stop) to contend with but Sbs 103 has west camp rd (with many stops) to contend with.

By the way Sbs 103 does not go to khatib mrt. It is a bit winding too, Cheers. Thanks.

SBS2652G SG

fast as compared to 117. im comparing with seating

do note that off peak 103 does not really stop at west camp, just run through. Cheers

Hi mr SBS2652G, not fast leh. It is equally slow. I took both buses before. Timing about same from Jalan Kayu to yishun. Did you note down the timing? Don't base on perception only. Cheers. Thanks.

dupdup77 SG

Hi mr SBS2652G, yes but they still ply through the stops at that road. You need timing so that you can judge. Cheers. Thanks.

Yes 117 is express along Seletar West Link but it's super super slow...

dupdup77 SG

Yes 117 is express along Seletar West Link but it's super super slow...

Hi mr array88, yes I know. I took twice Sbs 117 already. Cheers. Thanks.

SMB128B SG

Yes 117 is express along Seletar West Link but it's super super slow...

Slow as in travelling speed?

SBS2652G SG

not perception. 103 from bef west camp rd to yishun mrt on avg 15-20 while 117 is arnd 20-25

SBS2652G SG

Yes 117 is express along Seletar West Link but it's super super slow...

the slow speed is what makes it slower than 103, needless to kention the bcs who purposely try stop at every traffic light

SBS2652G SG

Hi mr SBS2652G, yes but they still ply through the stops at that road. You need timing so that you can judge. Cheers. Thanks.

i rode both before a few times amd also have the timesheets for the respective services.

Hi mr SBS2652G, I took Sbs 117 yesterday morning. It was 19 min for the trip from seletar aerospace drive (before west camp rd) to the bus stop nearest yishun mrt and 19.5 min on the return trip. So I will say it is about equal with Sbs 103. Anyway hope this is just the starting and with months to go, once loading increases, I believe the bus captains will drive much faster to compensate back. I welcome your thoughts here! For me, distance wise, Sbs 85 will be a better choice than 117. Cheers. Thanks.
