Express buses in Singapore

nice, but the fares are a bit out. Airasia: last minute booking (w/ tax) usually costs RM89-RM95 (weekday) or RM145 (weekend). the fare is capacity-controll...

Where does it go to?

If not wrong, I had observed on one of my nationwide joyrides (June 2005) that the Kovan City (former HG south Int) was to be ran by Citi Exchange Express & Service Pte Ltd, and would head for KL, Malacca.

Nearly forgot: I've also noticed a ticket booth for Triton Express buses at the Malay Village at Geylang Serai. I've heard they the buses depart from the car park in front of the booth, but I'm not sure.

sinicker SG

nice2 rocks. took it in 2003.

PhyrePhox SG

Expensive though.. I took the DD Nice from the Old Railway station in KL back to here. Tickets cost me RM70.

They serve food and newspaper (if I remember correctly). I was almost falling asleep till the attendant woke me up to serve me food. Never did get back to sleep after that Confused

SBS9828X SG

theres a long bus (like 997A) owned by Transnasional... Maroon livery with gold stripes...

They serve light food and paper. The bus is like a 12 metre bus (interior) with an area for the steward/ess

sinicker SG

ic, i took it frm singapore.. S$47!! they served nasi goreng and chicken wing, peel fresh orange juice and den warm milo, later on in the journey, showed 'ong bak' on tv. my parents and i wanted to try out the semi- DD so my dad paid for it.

there is the 16-seater bus rite? with PC games, massage chair and all.. tix is S$56 frm SG-KL.

PhyrePhox SG

I think the price must have gone up by now. At least you got "Ong Bak". I got some B-grade movie called "Spiders II" or something. Tried my best to ignore it. LOL. Wah! And you got warm milo...

I don't know much about the 16-seater bus and I'm quite surprised that it's $56! Shocked
