gorby107 SG

Ok, this is not an April fool joke.

Saw the poster at the bus stop along Geylang Bahru(Blk 73)<compete with Sv 107), the other one at Sims Ave(aft Lor 1 Geylang). It will head to Shenton Way.

I did not manage to catch a proper glimpse of the poster.

Price:$3.00?

There's a couple of crossover scanario here..

1. Use buses from 961 985 or 980
2. Crossover from 188E (963E buses do 530)

2nd method waste more diesel.

I wonder how much time savings they can have...maybe they use Republic Blvd...530 and this one seems like short distance ones...

Y_Shun SG

I think 107 shld be sufficient? If the BCs dun bunch too much.

Seriously what do you suggest if not $2?Maybe $2.50?One of the reason they wont lower the fare is that they dun want to kope 107 paxs in the morning peak.Maybe $2.50 are more reasonable.531 should $3.50 IMO otherwise its defeat the premium status..

SBST applied for fare increases for Premium services to $3.60. It has been approved btw, just that SBST hasnt implemented it.

perhaps if ComfortDelgro deploys its coaches for Premium svc, it may command even higher fares – maybe $4?

in yesterday’s ST article, Bus Hub director V. Anilan said he only got 12-14 pax in morning peak and hoped the load increases to about 25 before he’s ready to introduce a return leg in the evenings. I guess the problem is no Bus Hub bus-stop plate is installed along the bus-stops. btw, is this svc published in MM guide?
