last SG · 2007-10-07T22:05:41+00:00

So expect a more reliable schedule?

carbikebus SG

Cant say much,But before the W start,I normally see 10-16 mins wait for off peak which is quite ok for services plying PIE given its quite new at that time.But after this W starts all go haywire,Sometimes even 20 mins for peak hour.Hopefully the freq are just like last time if not even better

sbst275 SG

I ever saw 985 & 985W brunching along PIE during off peak hrs Laughing

Does those bus stops with 985 but dont have 985W have the poster?

Maybe SMRT forgotten to include that 985 frequency would be improved or the wait will become 20+ mins in the future? Laughing

simnatic SG

Obviously, 985W is a waste of resources for SMRT. For goodness sake, hardly anyone take the bus from the stretch 985W currently is diverted to. If it follows the normal route, there are many from Swiss Cottage,St Anthony,HomeTeam NS, BBDC, Blk 7XX residents, the temple...it was a bad decision from the start. Confused

TIB1224Y SG

I think the resources are just divided out from the 985 pile.

krautfuher SG

Finally! Its about time Razz

azharjj SG

Even before 985W started, i know that this service will have low demand coz firstly, who would want to board the svc along BB road ?

Btw anyone has any idea what is the letter 'W' in 985W means ?
and do u guys realised something ? It is always SMRT that fails to come up with good routes...

JJxJJ SG

cant agree more... the worst is 922...good route layout..but reaaaly terrible freq Laughing

TIB1062Y SG

I don't find it good.... They can make it better by amending the route to Jelapang Rd to cover up for the lost of former Service 345 and NOT making the poor little students from Greenridge Primary School to walk all the way from Segar LRT all the way to the school.... Twisted Evil

Really miss my primary school days when I take Service 345 to school everyday, and squeeze inside the bus with whole lot bunch of my schoolmates (Greenridge Primary School)... OAC Merz but never note down the rego... Crying or Very sad

sBs_boy SG

'W' - West

sbst275 SG

The 10 mins freq rule Laughing

carbikebus SG

sbst275 SG

carbikebus SG

Too bad lor,At least peak hour requirement is met LTA had nothing to say.

sbst275 SG

Wait... 20 mins is peak hr

Dun even meet 10 mins Laughing

Off peak 15 mins, 20 mins no one care

tvcnq SG

Was 985W supposed to be a normal service in the first place? I never saw any proper sign for 985W at bus stops. 700A has a spot beside 700 on the main sign and 190A/67W has a separate sign. The only indication that there is 985W is from the route info board at some bus stops.
