it was quite a blow when 989 was shortened/ merged with 185.

now with this 985W, getting from bt timah/ BB to Boon Keng may just take longer..

so i guess say theres 15 buses for 985, and now only about 8 will ply full route while 985W will have 7 buses plus 945 and full route 985 aiding it within BB?

same case for 98 and 98A? and the historic 170 where a Larkin-bound 170 can takes more than 30mins at customs

hello? I organise a bus depot trip? You've mistaken me for someone else. Ever since i left the hobby. I have not joined any other forums. I don't even know that trips to bus depots can be organised. Exclamation Well, i really don't know what to say but if you think i am a clone of someone else, I'm not. Please, don't make false accusations. I really have left. I only post here once in a while.

ps: pls just stick to your "exclusive" forum. This is a public forum anyway.

Yups.
You see, BB Blk 440++ suffered when the old 985 route was amended. There was no more bus for the students to take to Pioneer JC and TWSS and to CCK.

They had to take 180 now and walk in.

With 985W, they cannot complain anymore.

For the case of Swiss and BBDC stop

To CCK - 188
To BB Road - 188, 187

To BB - 945

Volvo Olympian SG

Hmm , Let's wait and see ... mabye 985W will only have demand for the bus stop (Blk 400++) area's.

SBS9889U SG

So the 985A will still ply using 985’s route?

Volvo Olympian SG

Yup , 985A not affected so it will be as per normal

SBS9889U SG

There will be 42 Sv985 Trips and also 42 Sv985W Trips on weekdays/41 Sv985 Trips and also 41 Sv985W Trips on Saturdays/43 Sv 985 Trips and 43 Sv985W Trips on Sundays (According to timetable) (From Choa Chu Kang).

Seems that 985A timetable isnt included.

stooper SG

Good ah SMRT... Sunday better frequency than weekdays... Laughing

muziq bus SG

haha, 985A is just random 985 on weekdays afternoon..
same as 985 bendy on weekday morning

Volvo Olympian SG

Ok , there is a Berth for Sv 985W at Berth B4 (172 , 985).

muziq bus SG

ok...might as well they fill in the blanks anyway

How does Kranji Depot have enough buses to deploy for 985 when 985W is implemented? 985 should be controlled by Ang Mo Kio as well. If not then ask Woodlands to transfer some UD OAC/CAC buses to Kranji and deploy these Nissan Diesels on services like 61 , 67 , 172, 176 ,188 , 189 , 307 , 941 , 945 and 947. I dont understand why must tey use buses like Merc and Hinos on 307 & BB feeders , they are so erratic and has the WORST frequency. Btw when tey deploy these Nissans on the above svcs , there is going to be more than enough buses for 985/985W and 188. Perhaps 985 or 985W and/or 188 sould also try using such buses. PLS DEPLOY THESE NISSANS ON 307 , 941 , 945 , 947 , 188 and 189 , there is no reason for BB feeders and 307 to use Merc and Hinos. These buses should go & deploy on 188 ,985 and 985W and get all the non Nissans back on 980.

What do u guys think abt this?

swee_heng SG

obviously SMRT is wasting buses for 985W , what for plying the uncovered bus stops for 985? Btw only theres ppl boarding at Blk406 , cant these ppl alight at Blk331 and walk opposite? Twisted Evil

I think that they gonna take buses from 188 again , WHY CANT 985 and 985W CONTROLLED BY BOTH KRANJI & AND ANG MO KIO , like that then got enough buses ma. Cool

SMRT can also transfer the Nissan CAC buses from WLDEP or when 608 withdrews , bring those buses to KJDEP and deploy on 172 , 176 , 188 , 189 , 307 and the BB feeders; 941 , 945 and 947 , tere is obviously no bloody good reason for 307 and BB feeders to use nice buses like Merc and hino. If tey wanna put for sow , deploy these hinos on 77 , 106 , 190 or transfer some to SMDEP for 167 , 171 and 960 and get some of the buses from there and deploy on 188 , 985/985W , if not ten use UDs on 985 and or 188 then. Mad

what do u guys think?
