Hi all
I am new to this sgforum
Nice to see so many bus enthusiasts
I don't understand this topic.. can someone explain?
Most of the times I see bus no. 27 plying along Tampines Ave 1..
Not sure whether it's a bridging bus (those that are deployed to
meet demand, as said in SBST website) ..
Anyone else seen any such occurrences of buses plying
along where its not supposed to be (don't include one-off incidents
or late night depot departures)
If this is not the place to discuss the above or there's a thread
for that, pls let me know also :)
Yes its a bridging bus. It starts service from Tampines Ave 5
back to Hougang. By right the bus should have its EDS stated as
"off service" instead of the service no. Drivers conveniently
programmed the EDS early since Ave 1 does not have Service 27.
There are many places which buses are scheduled to off service
to start somewhere along the route. A fair no of services have them
also. 27 happens to be more common due to the no of buses doing
it.
