brotherchen1982 SG Thought the Enhanced Express 502 svc guide got say something like: "Different routing along non-stop sector may be used".
Donavan SG Correct. It should have remained that way. Therefore BCs will decide the routings. Give 3 examples: 1st example: BC finds out PIE is jammed at Toh Guan Road. What would he do? Can use Clementi Road/Holland [email protected] 2nd example: Now BC thought using Clementi Road is safe, but a major accident occurred there. So he uses 106's or 105's route EXPRESS. 3rd example: Let's say he still took Clementi Road, but found out Holland Road was jammed up due to a breakdown of an 18-wheeler. Therefore he can go on like 52 and take PIE again. Flexibility of routings for the fastest times.
SBS BUSES LOVER SG i took the bus yesterday 11/3 on my trip to orchard rd , the BC went by holland on my return trip the BC used the PIE
BufPuf SG no wonder that day i took 502B to orchard first two times i took go by PIE which is even longer than going by clementi coz the jam damn bad.. den the last time i took the bus driver go by clementi den make me blur blur
stooper SG Then he if uses PIE to go there to city, how does he go to Defli Orchard there? PIE, Stevens Road, Bukit Timah Rd to get to the start of Orchard Road?
samtlk SG Notice in SLBP: 502 amended back to using PIE/Stevens Rd in the direction towards Orchard wef 17/03/2006.
^tamago^ SG i think loads of ppl at holland rd and clementi got confused when they see 502 zooming pass them when they thought it was amended.
SBS BUSES LOVER SG yup , i saw some ppl trying to flag it down as it zoomed past , trying their luck i guess, but since it is using the PIE again , will be missing the scenery along Holland Road .....
SBS BUSES LOVER SG dude , i still see 502 perm buses with the "paper/notice " pasted on the windscreens and saw 502B , 502 buses zooming past ? WTH ? u sure it is ammended ? , still see them . along that way .
samtlk SG 1. No press release cos it doesn't affect the passengers. 2. Different routing along non-stop sector may be used. stick these into your head. Some standby BCs may not know of the change. Even if they know its up to them which route they want to use. The guideline is for those BCs who don't know the way to Orchard. The notice is there because there are still passengers who ask "never go Clementi ah?" after the BC turn into Toh Tuck Rd.
