If it’s 10 bus I wun be worried.

But their boarding clearance is beri slow. Dunno which berth are they using

sbs7207b SG

Should be a hino bodied by SKSBus.

sbst275 SG

This is what I'm suspecting

15 mins freq, x-fer at Tg Kupang.

Cos 8 buses, it means freq of 25 mins minimum if it does full route.

azharjj SG

yup... saw the standee banner at jurong east int (CW3 queue)

Inside article, Handal Indah hopes to takeover and develop some bus terminal land.

They've lost focus onto serving JB routes.

Superbus SG

IDR may see a new operator which will start operations next year, CW's biggest threat yet. That new operator may also operate into Singapore, provided that it's lucrative enough and new licences being offered for operators.

Superbus SG

What is that bus on the right?

SKSbus SA12-300 integral model. Essentially a citybus version of the CJ8-TKE integral model also by sks. SA12-300 built on the Ci09 body whereas CJ8-TKE on the e128i body. Powered by the Hino J08E engine. sks' first low-entry model.

sbst275 SG

IDR needs its proper public tpt plans.

That should keep the viable ones profitable.

I believe even HI is finding difficulty in maintaining its own domestic svs.

TIB1010Y SG

where is CW6 boarding berth @ boon lay int? is the bus loop inside the int or park there?

DonMe SG

So many malaysia operators having operations over the causeway, when would our singapore bus operators do the same? Or they are not bothered and only let malaysia companies take over the whole operations of the causeway bus services?

TIB1010Y SG

don b suprise if next time more CW service serve woodlands, sembawang or yishun or other north-west part of SG.

or 1 day Causeway link become SG 3rd bus company. haha

i had send feedback to SMRT abt operating more bus service from yishun and sembawang and they said its not needed at the moment.. =_=

carbikebus SG

By right SMRT can introduced 1 cross border svc from Sembawang to Larkin IF RWS decided to terminate their bus svc contract with SMRT.The fleets from RWS8 can be utilised for it,951 anyone?

For M'sian buses, entry level is low. Any case, even HI is lamenting that their local bus ops is not very sustainable as compared to CW1/ CW2/ CW3/ CW4/ CW5.

But seriously, CW5's loading is miserable.

LTA wun allow duplication of bus routes and in any case all the quotas are alrdy taken up.

lemon1974 SG
