Svc 98

azharjj SG

No more full red or full white colour plates ? Oh ic... I didn't know that.

60 was served like this because to call at the bus-stop at the so-called "inverted C" Bedok Res Rd in the direction of Bedok not only to eunos right (if i'm not wrong the withdrawn feeder 226) ?

Unfortunately, no...

Still have full red/ full white colour plates (In fact majority of the fleet still using that now just that the merged colour plate was introduced lately).

226 + 385 = 60 (There were bus stop plates showing such an equation when the merger took place Mr. Green )

Service 98 got red and white plates Wink They will change plate at Jurong Island Checkpoint. So u will know which bus is heading to where when u are at the bus stop which 98 serve both the direction.

i thought evryone would be used to this by now. because....

in he 80s when i take buses i look for green and white front plates to see which direction i go. those applied to buses serving macpherson, serangoon gardens and even st Michael's. and i think for a fair bit mei chin rd area.

today service 60 uses the classic system. (glad to observe that - erm why red colour plate...want green)

in fact in the 80s all services display a 'side metal desto" at the front of the bus to show where it was going.

-

as for 98's case, yes it seems confusing.

1) the bus service duplciates a portion at jurong Pier zone. so u dunno where its gg unless u view the SIDE PLATE. (shd use front plate )

2) the 98 bus has thhis 98A. 98A is the remnants of the old 98 when it used to serve from jurong Int to jurong East int. notice how the bus terminates so near the old Jurong int site.

perhaps shd feedback that 98 use white, green and red plates AT FRONT to diffrentiate the diff routes 98 JRG island checkpt , 98 Jurong East and 98A Jurong Old int

I want to ask...

Is there any service 98 that loops at Corporation place, skipping 2 bus-stops ?
This bus MUST be empty...

SBS9888Y SG

According to JE route group...the 2 stops that 98A pass (the one at AYE and outside Taman Jurong Shopping Ctr (Sheng Shiong)...can be use for boarding and alighting..so lao aunty and ah gong can wait for 98A to and at sheng shiong to do marketing Wink

they need not be empty, if there are passengers wanting to board.

Service 98 covers the full route from Jurong East Interchange via Jurong East Ave 1, to Lakeside Station, into Taman Jurong Estate down to Jurong Port Rd, to Jurong Port area and loop back via the same route in a vice-versa format.

Service 98A covers 3quarter of the route from Jurong East Interchange via Jurong East Ave 1 to Lakeside Station and down to Taman Jurong Estate...it then loops at the end of Taman Jurong Estate via Yung Ho Rd, Corporation Rd, AYE and back to Yung Ho Rd and has 2 additional stops (AYE and Sheng Shiong) that Service 98 does not cover..

If you are going to Jurong East Ave 1, Jurong West St 51, Lakeside Station and Taman Jurong Estate, you can take either Service 98 or Service 98A

If you are going to Jurong Port, Jurong Pier and Fishery Port Rd area, you can only take Service 98.

If you are going to the Sheng Shiong Hypermart, u can only take Service 98A.

To differentiate Service 98 and Service 98A, look at the bus..buses that are plying the Service 98A route will have a "A" suffix on the desto.

The buses alternate...one bus 98, then next one is 98A, then 98 then 98A etc. between 930 - 1630 and 2000 - 2400...

Service 98 operates between 0530 - 2400.
Service 98A operates between 0930 - 0030.

Service 98 and Service 98A is a FULLY AIRCON service.

Thank You For Travelling With SBS Transit. Have a Nice Day. Very Happy

Perhaps service 98 can adopt service 315 and 317 way of differentating by inserting red and white cards in a small slot in front of the driver seat. It is really confusing just to differentiate by looking at the side plates only. Besides, some BCs have forgotton to change the side direction indicating the correct direction while in a hurry.

n4l SG

All svcs that go to Jln Bahagia does that Smile ~ One big red or white plate at the front depending on destination..

131, 124, 125, 139, 186, 21...

If you often use these routes or live there, you'd know..so it doesn't actually confuse people much. Unless you're just going there once or twice or for the first time, then its usually better to ask around Smile .

566117 SG

they put desto, not big red/white plate Wink

Oceane SG

You live at Jalan Bahagia YH? Laughing

SBS9888Y SG

the 21 DDs dont have it

n4l SG

Can't remember Smile .

I know last time, before they used the side destos in the front of bus, they used to have a small "IN" and "OUT" green sign at the front of the bus.
IN representing going into the terminal, out the opposite Laughing .

Used to Smile .

Isn't the side desto coloured red/whte? Razz

566117 SG

sort of, i guess...

brotherchen1982 SG

some ppl call it metal plate while some ppl call it side desto whereas both refer to same thing... Laughing

SBS9888Y SG

yes and 21 Double deckers dun have the square desto at the front of the bus

tvcnq SG

They should follow the 177 method. Beside the driver seat, the SLs will hang a handwritten sign saying where the bus is headed. Its either "Bukit Batok, MRT "or "Bukit Panjang". There is even the chinese translation. It makes everything very clear, even for a first-timer.
