Hi mr dupdup 77, the problem is very few people will actually
take 143M from pandan to je. the time and cost (98cents for 143 vs
77cents for 51) already put many people off. i wrote to SBS and
their reply was Service 143 did not serve pandan gardens. so they
implement 143M to connect pandan and teban. seems that SBS
personnel also dont know what is going on.
Lol... My doubt is maybe in future sv 143 will go direct from
Teban to West Coast and not do Pandan... As it causes unecessary
travel time for Teban residents... Also Sv 51/143 route same until
Alexandra rd junction.
so once people are familiar with 143M connection between Teban
and Pandan, 143 will get edited to not ply Pandan... Only then 143M
makes sense...
Right now 143M is just taking the load from 143/79.. Sv 79 DDs
are now going empty back from Penjuru to JE as 143M is taking its
load.
