But IF there's really such service and it's fully operated by OCs, I think I know where they will take the buses from.

Just wait for Jan 30 please...Do not fight over with just that service. Answer would be reveal on 30 Jan :)

Ya. We all have to see what SMRT will deploy whether in a SMaRT way or not.

Really must be low-floor? Cannot be more than 5 years old?

Then why did I see 2 Scania/Mercedes coaches being used? They both had RWS 8 destos (Paper Destos), are definitely more than 5 years old and, they can transport workers or children. Hmm, something funny going on.

Raraken SG

double standard

From RWS to HBF, SMRT scheduled 12 mins for the journey. Bus was travelling at 30kph at e Sentosa bridge

Can give good running time for RWS8 yet cannot allocate resources and good travelling timing for basic svs

SMRT started as a stat board, seems like it has forgotten its past

Wow.

980 can have really shitty frequencies of more than 25 mins during peak hours. Just, wow. And the 980 drivers chiong like hell.

There were 2 types of RWS8, one being the staff version (for RWS staff only) operated by private operators using a variety of buses (Zonda, King Long, Mitsubishi etc) and the other being the public version (for public/guest only) operated by SMRT (OC500LE).

With a improper berth? ...Why wouldn't they put it at the 966 & 950 berth...

Please refer to previous pages.....

low floor buses actually dun work esp the rear

The kerb steps esp those on top of e tyres are super high! Not for Asians

How bout the SBST KUBs?

I smell some SP KJ OCs xfer to WLDEP for this 963R?

Citaro are totally diff from KUB or OC500LE. In any case e OC's front tyre seat is higher than e KUBs.

U've to climb steps for every indv seat aft e exit door. No doubt MB has been improving e design yr aft yr making e kerb step lower and lower, but if one is not careful as in attempting to get off from e seat and the bus brakes too heavily, ppl could trip and fall from e step. It's alrdy a prob w/ OC or KUB ppl moving to the steps aft e exit, it would be e same w/ O530.

90 mins running time, 17 mins break.

Bus went to use Kg Bahru Rd, Chinatown and travelled at 20kph for whole journey. At the old Thong Chai hosptial went to clog up bus lane at 20kph to kill time.

BC said cos schedule planned for when Universal Studio Singapore & Casino opens for biz.

Even 963R didn't occur driver rushing, travelled at 50kph along Expressway

Cos there is higher demand for 963R.

People going to Vivocity may choose 963R over 963 because its faster. I suppose 40 minutes trip from Bukit Panjang instead of the former 1 hour. Demand not too much based on the new IR.

sbst275 SG

nah, 963R freq somemore is 30 - 40 mins, if you miss it rather take 963 to Vivo still.

963R's demand isn't tat high just now, ppl rather take trunk svs because many are concession holders. Even e driver also mentioned tis is more for ppl meant to go to Sentosa ($2.25 only leh).

sbst275 SG

963R uses OAC O405. If didn't see wrongly, total fare stage for 963R is 34.0 as well.

There was 10 OC500LE spotted at bus park of RWS.

TIB1234T SG

Yah. It was half bus full already at opposite Marsiling station bus stop.
