this is the reply i got from LTA. There is no problem in transferring between 170 and 170X at the checkpoint.

We refer to your email dated 11 August 2010.

You may wish to know that service 170X and 170 are considered the same service. Hence, transfer between these two services is not valid according to the transfer rules and the Fare Calculator is unable to allow calculation of fares for transfer between these 2 services.

However, at two special stops, at Woodlands Checkpoint and Johor Bahru check point, transfer between any of Service 170, 170X or 160 are allowed albeit not the normal transfer rules. At these two points, SBS Transit Ltd has allowed transfer between these services as if the passenger did not alight from the bus. Unfortunately, due to technical limitation, the fare calculator is not able to effectively compute the same for transfer between service 170 and 170X.

isn't strange or funny...

Checkpoint mode gotta be done by SBS yet the system i.e. online calculator all done by LTA...

The reply I got (way nong ago) did not even mention abt CIQ issue.

Finally saw tat CWL at Kranji ytd. Desto: JB CIQ <> Larkin.

In any case, realised those who take bus/ 170 - MRT - bus to their workplace at Sembawang, Admiralty, Bt Batok, Jurong East (Toh Guan 183, IBP 99) are more affected than taking CW1.

The diff works out to be 5c to 22c to and fro. The nearer station is to Kranji, the bigger than impact.

sbst275 SG

I've printed a list for CW1 & 160/ 170X from JB CIQ.

Kota Raya dun need to tabulate because basis pts Yew Tee, Admiralty is not much affected alrdy.

Those Malaysians who thinks by taking CW1 is cheaper is terribly wrong unless they're heading to North Link or Bt Batok St 23 or Toh Guan/ IBP.

1 classic example: JB CIQ > Kranji > Admiralty > Woodlands Link.

170: $1.09 + 24c + 12c = $1.45.

CW1: $0.43 + 91c + 30c = $1.64.

Up to Admiralty MRT leg is 1c diff, but see wat happens aft x-fer to 964...

sbst275 SG

dunno how to plot e fare comparison onto here leh...

sbst275 SG

does CW1 now plies Kota Raya II again?

sbst275 SG

I'll update the list once I've free time

But from JB CIQ can confirm there's no changes to some station destination (170 > MRT only) i.e. Boon Lay.

If there's adjustment in the next phase due to mid term link, expect significant drop in fares for mid x-fer culmualtive distances.

sbst275 SG

Any distance update on 160, 170, 170X & 950 is impossible right now.

Though the mid term link is in ops now, there's some other road diversion.
