Yeah, Boon Lay one gone for a few months already... Confused

If the reason is because of iris, I think too troublesome... The TV is much more convenient.

What has IRIS got to do with this? Rolling Eyes

Not everyone has PDA phones or whatever

i hope these tvs can come back…they are quite useful to see which buses come first…then i go to the berth..

Yes, what has removing the NBBD (Next Bus Boarding Display) got to do with IRIS Nextbus?

Worse still, I am not a royal GPRS user. I fear that I use it I end up spending more money. I hope SMS will be available for IRIS Nextbus soon.

best is they just put a simple digital countdown timer next to the stands/ queue like that big and clear

Again...

Not everyone has PDA phones or whatever...

Seems like SBS loves to play around with commuters $$$... Once was got demand dun wanna deploy buses, now comes this

I wonder what's next Rolling Eyes

Don't be stupid. MobileIRIS doesn't require a PDA phone to access. Nowadays all phones, 3G or not have GPRS capabilities.

sbst275 SG

So???

You think everyone has???

SBS9816E SG

One doesn't require a PDA phone to access MobileIris. Should one's phone has GPRS capability, it can be accessed and one can utilise the service.

Please do not say things like SBS Transit once didn't deploy buses when demand was present. You do not have any evidences for it.

Yaimster SG

Stop whining. SMRT interchanges are alot worse.

Look at Yishun Int and you'll find out yourself. The TVs are like half-dead, most of the time shows buses for the feeders and 171, 851. Period.

sbst275 SG

Does everyone has? You do not have the right as being a service provider to force ppl to use your new services if there is no 100% rate of ppl having GPRS enabled phone. Another thing, why make ppl's life hard to go scan thru the sv no, int??? The TV screen it may end up showing you the departure even faster than to go search for it... So called techonlogy advancement

No evidence??? What abt RSAF Open Hse??? 30 mins bus freq to cope with 200 passengers, I wonder how much add farebox collection they could have collected...

sbst275 SG

Actually there's no need to argue

Cos if MIW wants to increase public tpt usage and this is what we get instead, then it's all just wayang Laughing

SBS9889U SG

Will new AMK int have or did anybody see it in AMK already?

choww SG

But hp cannot access timing at bus interchange as it has only 4 no. code.

off_service SG

RSAF Open House is just an one off incident. Also, they made arrangements for the internal shuttles to be deployed on 90/94. Moreover, It's not cheap to charter the buses.

SMRT one sometimes the timing not updated , saw once at Bt Batok Int TV and some of the service timings is not accurate.
