Enhancement to Service 142?

sbst275 SG

If you have read the Sunday ST article reg Mr Sitoh’s PAP 5 year + 5 year plan on Potong Pasir, there is a paragraph stated that Sv 142 might be enchanced?

Manager433 SG

Hmmm........if Lao-Chiam ask for it, sure reject by LTA and SBS. But Sito ask for it, approve! See!

The enhancement will be a added bus stop across the bridge seperating PP. And don't be happy too early. Bus fare for this svc 142 will increase for that extra bus stop. Nothing comes free.

The funny thing is over the alternation works permit.. Some thought it is understood that lift upgrade incl allowing alter works to allow every floor with lifts..

But of course when one is in power, he can bend the regulations though Confused

sbst275 SG

Wonder what's next, later say got SBS to add 1 more bus to Sv 142 as frequency now is like 11-15 mins Rolling Eyes Laughing

wat happened?

brotherchen1982 SG

U noticed svc 142 is a FAC svc as compared to other then PAC svc at Toa Payoh Int??? Very Happy

For political reasons???

sbst275 SG

Back in 1999, Sv 307's Teck Whye leg was axed off due to 'duplication' with the LRT... It happened 2 mths aft Tibs tookover 307 from SBS

During the election, Steve Chia made a fuss over this, and ended up then PM Goh to step into this and asked Tibs to revive back Sv 307 fully

Fat hope Laughing

FAC is there for political reasons

brotherchen1982 SG

sbst275 SG

Keke...

Entrance of SAJC right?

Manager433 SG

Becoz SAV students all leg no strength to walk in from PP NEL stn mah, unlike residents of PP, all can walk. All super fit. Reasons for tat? Becoz PP residents everyday join in the run with gurkhas running along kallang river jogging tracks mah.
