kuekj SG With effect from 16 July 2006, Service 173 will be amended to use Bukit Batok Ave 1, East Ave 6 and Hume Ave. It will no longer serve 3 pairs of bus stops along Hillview Rd and Upp Bt Timah Rd. Press Release The problem with the amendment is, it gets rather confusing when it comes to the part from Jln Batu Niam (sic) to Hume Ave. I wonder if it is possible to convert the junction of Jln Batu Nilam/Hillview Rd/Hume Ave to become a cross junction. Maybe the Hume Ave express is rendered redundant soon :p
muziq bus SG I am for this idea.. Its about time that this change takes place. SMRT seems to be trying to do loads of changes already... so thats a good thing.... cool, another bus to BB swimmin complex apart from 189..and old 989 oh ya, it is not possible to convert the junction of Jln Batu Nilam/Hillview Rd/Hume Ave to become a cross junction...the distance is a tad too far to become a cross junction... and the junction at Hillview Rd and Elizabeth Dr is too small to turn in to... that is why 173 has to make a U-turn via the roundabout...
SBS9889U SG Looks like the frequency will get worse due to using roundabout at Hillview? Maybe the Toh Tuck part of the route can be amended too. Good initiative by SMRT too, so far introduced 902, 922, Teacher's Estate and amended Sv173/700.
kuekj SG maybe also after the unintended bad press from the media when they mentioned sbst introduced about 20 services/service changes last year, but smrt has introduced 1.
Manager433 SG SMRT Bus must do something about this long waiting time during peak hours. I sometimes wait for 15 mins during evening peak hrs.
kuekj SG only for their internal operation purposes. (no wonder charging such a high fare of $1.15, using the express 5xx range :p hey we are off topic!)
sbst275 SG Suay is like 190, even come bendy bus, the most I believe is like only 100 out of 132 passengers onboard... Why?? No one wants to stand at the behind carriage This happens not just to 190
phillipC SG I think is because they want to increase fare soon, so must wayang that they have done "somethings'! Is really wayang show!
muziq bus SG Sheesh..when they never amend u all make noise.. when they make amendment u all make noise... u dont take it everyday right? so? i do.. so? it doesnt affect me.. finally i can go to hume avenue easily with lesser climbing up slopes...
