Free Shuttle Bus Sv list

Then stop increasing the population, Singapore cannot afford to cater the needs for the increasing population. We are good enough with 4 million people in Si...

I'd be less pissed if the shuttles were 'suspended indefinitely pending investigations' rather than just pulling out the plug in an instant.

OT: RWG did not offer free shuttles to 'nearby heartlands' is due to the fact that it's situated up on a mountain. The nearest 'heartland' is a good 30 minutes drive. It does not make any economical sense to provide free shuttle to points in Klang Valley whose travelling time are no less than 60 minutes per direction. Then again, I don't see the Malaysian authorities trying to stop these shuttles from KL. They still do promote Genting as a one-stop leisure destination for families.

They do offer to some 6 - 8 subrubs.. But it's only for members and 1x daily.. 10am go up, depart at 5pm from RWG.

Update

Private operator are thinking of countering by applying for paid shuttle service. Only issue is shuttle or express sv framework would not be allowed to be applied.

The fee will be 1.5 times more than than the public transport one if the private operator wants to 'preserve' the routes.

But the thing is: Will people willing to pay so much money to enter RWS?

how much does it cost.

Say from Jurong East.

$1.41 for Sv 97 ride, 72c for 188R ride. So it adds up to $2.13... 50% more is $3.20 per ride..

Kids is min $1.32

Or from Tampines.

$1.85 + $0.65 resp: $3.75.

Kids is min $1.55.

They said public tpt wat, I can use 188R/ 963R to compare..

weekdays leh?

RWS should have charge S$2 per trip to RWS and S$2 per trip from RWS initially instead of giving it as free shuttle....i dun think there will be many aunties/uncles taking these shuttle liao...

now there are excess buses already... someone should complain to the government and ask why SMRT isnt using their RWS8 buses for normal services instead such as putting these 10 buses on Sv190.... ask them to give up RWS8 to these private operators instead.. haha...

105090 SG

188R 963R NR1 and NR6 should also be banned in this case.. but never..

possible SMRT ppl kpkb lost earnings.. political based..

Use those 10 bus to replace those UDs and ELBOs. I hope someone will really highlight to SMRT about this, espeically from those poorly served services. Let's see what kind of stories and double standards are they going to present.

They alrdy said based on public tpt wat..

RWS8 is shuttle bus framework, else why one of e affected operator wants to apply to PTC & LTA to grab it away from SMRT.

paid service ma..

in any case, SMRT dun make $$ it's seriously their taiji cos RWS8 & RWS88 esp are contract w/ RWS and applied under shuttle bus framework.

188R & 963R was they think they can get direct passengers, to realise most take to Vivo nia.

from the Straits Times...

THE two integrated resorts (IRs) violated casino restrictions and safeguards not just by providing free shuttle services to locals, Parliament was told on Wednesday.

One of them, Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) promoted its casino rewards programme at heartland shopping malls and 7th month Hungry Ghost events, said Minister of of Community Development, Youth and Sports Vivian Balakrishnan.

'I am very sure that they were not trying to entice hungry ghosts with the free food or cheap food at the casinos,' he said in Parliament, when explaining why the free shuttle bus services in the HDB heartlands and Central Business District areas provided by the IR were halted abruptly by the Casino Regulatory Authority (CRA) last Friday.

RWS provided free bus rides at 19 pick-up points, most of which were in the heartlands and CBD areas.

'They were clearly not part of the public transport network. These buses also operated very long hours, up to 10.30pm on weeknights and up to 2.30am on weekends and the eves of public holidays. These late hours meant that most of the facilities at the RWS would be closed, except for the casino,' said the minister.

The other IR, Marina Bay Sands offered a paid premium bus service at 12 pick-up points covering the CBD and Orchard areas. The fares were redeemable at food and beverage outlets, some of which were in the casino.
