502A: AM Peak is 6th, 7th, 8th trip of the day. 2 trips for evening peak.
502B: 2 trips in AM Peak only.

Apparently, last trip of 502 on weekdays from Orchard Road is 9.42pm, Saturdays/ Sundays is about 10.54pm.

518A is the 3rd, 4th, 5th trip of the day from Pasir Ris Interchange in AM Peak. and 2 more trips in the evening
518B has 2 trips in AM Peak only, 2 trips in evening
Last bus departs Moulmein Road on 1200am on Saturdays and Sundays only

i have a question.

during the AM peak, is there any trips of normal 518?

If we look at the press release carefully, it was mentioned "its operating hours will be extended to 12 Midnight on its return trip from marina center on ALL DAYS".

When we check the SBST website bus guide, the timing information given for SV 502 is weird.. There is a 10 pm trip depart from Jurong West Extension for weekdays. But the timing for this trip went missing from bus stops from Juring West Ave 1 onwards and up to orchard road as well.

Also, according to the time table, SV502 will reach Blk 653B (fare stage 61) on 12.29 am on weekday, 1.26am on sat and 1.17 am on sun. This is weird. I think SBST have not updated their website data correctly.

notice that there is route detail for sv502 & sv502A but sv502B is "not available".

yeah a bit confusing. As mentioned, last bus will depart from Marina Centre (Suntec Convention) on 2107 on Weekdays, and 2400 on Sundays and Public Holidays.

However, there are "downroute" from Suntec City at 2335 & 2400 on Saturdays, and 2342 & 2400 on Sundays. These 2 trips does not originate from Jurong West, but commences from Suntec Convention Centre.

Weekdays from Jurong West: 0600-2200
Saturdays from Jurong West: 0600-2200
Sundays from Jurong West: 0700-2200

Weekdays from Suntec City: 0625-2107
Saturdays from Suntec City: 0625-2400
Sundays from Suntec City: 0715-2400

So, there are ""Terminating at Bras Basah Road (Raffles City)"" trips. These trips will depart Jurong West at 2136, 2200 on Weekdays

518 Schedule from PSR:
0600 0633 0707 0722 0737 0756 0831 0852 ........... 1524 1556 1628 1713 1743 1753 1823 1853 .......

Green Text is 518A

Can see the frequency between 1628 and 1713 trips is a nasty 45 minutes Surprised

So the trips are "synchronised" such that all trips will end up at Marina at frequency 0f 15-25 minutes.

Actually, i would orefer 502A, 502B, 518A, 518B to be full day services

sinicker SG

i just realised.. they extend 518 in pasir ris and the fare stages stayed the same.

and yup, i wud rather 518A/518B be full day services too. but i think the loading wudnt be much if 518A/518B plied during off-peak hrs.

SBS9828X SG

just some guessings, wud 506 get simillar treatments in teh future?

105090 SG

506 peak period stand at door
off peak period use Dennis Darts also considered too big a vehicle Laughing

also, noticed that 506 doesnt goes to City..

SBS9889U SG

This only happens some of the times.

SBS9828X SG

thats why. No wonder it doesnt have short working trips like 502/518...
