Actually I'm perfectly fine either way.
As long as I could properly fit into 518 on Friday and beer
nights I don't really care which bus is doing the job.
But judging from how SBST themselves didn't even bother about
this service for the past few years I think it's time LTA come in
and help.
I do agree that it's high time now that Sv 518 gets a new fleet
add. Its last fleet add was like 4 years ago (2699Y was the bus
then IIRC). But i would rather they add a full-day bus to Sv 518
rather than a S-Shift or even E-Shift.
Because Sv 518's crowds differs heavily depending on the events
along its route (think along the line of the events along TP,
Orchard, Suntec etc), and those aren't exactly conforming to the
regular office-working hours imo..
