Is Pasir Laba Camp in the SAFTI area?

no, PIE seperates them.

SAFTI MI is a camp on its own, PLC as well.

why not you go AOH and ask the soldiers there.

Suspect there are 2 routing

1) Boon Lay Way, Jurong West Ctrl 2, Jurong West Ctrl 3, Jurong West St 64, Boon Lay Way, Upp Jurong Rd, Jurong West St 93, Jurong West St 91, Jurong Camp II, Jurong Camp I, SAFTI MI (Tengah Ave), Link bridge, PLC

2) Boon Lay Way, Jln Boon Lay (Noticed it)

Even the alighting point is haphazard, either os or opp BNL Int.

The BC for rt 1 is damn lame

Cos they need to wait till bus is filled (so tat SAF themselve pay lesser in number of trips made)... But it causes erratic bus arriving esp since the crowd arrival totally depends on Westbound MRT arrival

Ytd at 1 pt, 6 parking along Boon Lay Way, blocking SBS buses from moving off to Boon Lay Way.

Today buses move off when there are full pax.

Standard for SAF

Cos e indent is based on per trip, of course would wait till fully seated to depart

But such method isn't good esp e crowd comes from Westbound train every 4 - 7 mins

First thing is, this isn't an indent for buses, its a tender contract, whereby it doesn't go by per bus/trip/hour, like how an indent would.

Second thing is the buses don't go based on per trip, its per head, a person from TNC would take down the rego and the number of passengers on board the bus, got see what's on the clip board? Standard procedure for SAF bus contracts.

Even so isn't it e same? per trip or per head since it's all based on capacity since e buses wun depart unless filled?

The previous AOH was a tender based on per trip, Comfort Bus went in (sub some to SBST), they dint count any head, some buses were running full, some buses practically empty, towards the end, and you could still head to Pasir Laba at 6 pm (partly due to there being a few night activities). If its by head then, you think you can enter after 4 pm? TNC wouldn't want to gamble with potential not-so-full trips after 4pm whereby they may not even recover the cost of having the buses running. Comfort was able to make do with empty trips as they are paid for the trips, instead of being shortchanged.

on e look, everything nicely say 'per head'.. but ends up only leave when filled, bao jiak biz alrdy

Cos, as I said before, TNC won't want to run buses with even one less passenger, cos the buses are not theirs (they have, I believe, no buses themselves for hire at all) and they have to pay the respective operators for the trips they run. Those operators charge TNC per trip, while TNC charge SAF per head, so TNC has no choice but to fill up all the seats. Private bus operations in Singapore is not as simple as you think.

If the there is a constant flow of crowd coming in, the bus will up filled up in less than 5mins.

Think abt it..
wouldnt it be better if the bus come, open door then u can bord the bus first to enjoy the seat and aircon ?

Rather than standing in the queue line and wait for the bus to come then u board then the bus zao ?

Seriously,
If you were on the groud, you would have know.
On the 1st few days of AOH when there wasnt much ppl, buses DID depart BNL/JR Camp/PLC half-empty or even empty at one point of another. Buses were at the berth waiting for at most 5mins before they were being pushed off.
