i think express services only worth it when you take it a few
stops before it enters expressway, and alight a few stops after it
leaves expressways.
eg. CT (off-peak, fast service).
the former 501 and 502 is the worst, and the current routes of 502
and 518 if u take from end to end..
on the other hand, fast forward services, except 89e, isnta good
deal. just that in the peak hours, when buses are difficult to
wait..
eg: sv14, 14e at Dhoby Gaut
6.15pm: 14
6.17pm: 14e (so few passengers)
6.30pm: 14e (so very good loads)
6.31pm: 14 (not much people board)
i also see, for 89 at HG, the parent 89 headway is about 15mins,
enticing ppl to take 89e. when 89e left, the parent 89 comes within
2 mins..
ah well, but thats commuters' choice
