even if 172 still ran the original route to upp bt timah rd, it would still be transfered to TIBS due to the crossing of territory. on the other hand 66 138 157 174 506 was supposed to be transferred to TIBS as well but after further study were given grace to continue its operations under SBS, with restrictions to the amendment of any of the routings within SMRT's territory for the abovementioned services .

But 66, 157 & 174 do not start or end in Tibs-controlled areas. JUR/BNL/TPY/BDK are all SBS strongholds.

Shouldn't 190 have been handed over back in 1995 if your argument is true?

I might consider 67....but definitely NOT 171. Its a most terrigible service that is seared in my memory. Its frequency is just plain f*cked up. Amongst the worst I can recall off-hand.

That one started from YSN. Sooner or later Tibs would have wanted it too. After all, Tibs started YSN routes from scratch, beginning with 800 and 850.

Hmm whenever I take 854, I usually get a seat :) Lucky me!

Uppps for this!!!

25 painfully slow and draggy at the competitive stretch.

854 doesnt seem to drive fast....comparative to the other SMRT svcs...

The 25 buses that go fast go at hair-raising speeds. I still remember how 7888K went from 0 to 60 in record time.

I've yet to have taken an 854 that goes anywhere as fast.

It's good to ride on the bendies and OCs, or even sometime Lances on 854.

Can try waiting for it in Ang Mo Kio interchange at around 1.30pm, but the timing is a few weeks back. Not sure has it changed...

Frankly i chose certain SMRT buses over SBST buses for certain routes.25 crawl during off peak but peak hours seems to be quite fast.The young BCs tend to skip bus stops if the bus are packed unlike certain BCs who still enter bus bays despite sardine packed.854 tend to crawl IF the SLs spot service 25 ahead of them(1-2 bus stops away).Ever encountered 1 bendy crawl when he see a 25 DD infront of him from Changi Rd all the way till Hougang,The results less peoples take 854 and upon reaching YCK Rd he sped all the way to Yishun.Funny sia these type of drivers

I prefer Bt Batok Depot take back Bt Batok Svc excluding 852 and CCK Svc excluding 925 and Kranji Depot to be a bus park for SBST.SMRT can take Eunos excluding 61,Sims Place,11 and 175 plus certain Upper East Coast svc.195 can also goes to SMRT.Kallang there got empty land to built a multi storey depot(Former Gas werk) or Kallang Bahru factory.This way they can save the trouble off service from WLDEP/AMDEP to eastern or town area.They can control Marina Ctr for 75(partial with WLDEP),171(with AMDEP),960(WLDEP),Lor 1 Terminal,Shenton Way for 970,Harbourfront for 188/855/963 and RWS8 for RWS.Let SBST control Bt Batok and CCK.BBDEP control BBT,CLE and Kent Ridge.Kranji Bus Park joint control BBT,Full control CCK and cross border svs like 160/170.ARBP control Ghim Moh,Buona Vista,Bt Merah and Harbourfront.

I rather have 11 175, 195 and Eunos services stay with SBST. SMRT already do not have enough buses and BCs. But I agree let them give up Bukit Batok and Chua Chu Kang or Yishun services for more resources being push back to the north for better frequncies and introduce 1 or 2 new trunk and 1 feeder service for Sembawang.

Maybe I shall try the next time. Thanks for your information.

This seems to be very confusing! Stop all your takeover fantasies!
