Yup you are correct. But you see during morning and evening peak hours there are a lot of people take it and tends to be slower as there are many people boarding and alighting the bus so maybe FFw can help a little?? The average waiting time around 5 mins during the morning and evening peak hours. Sometimes Whampoa South, Serangoon Rd, some stretch of Upper Serangoon Rd, Beach Rd and Kallang Ave tend to have jams during the peak hours when going to Hougang Central Int. While going to shenton way, the jam part is at some strectch of Upper Serangoon Rd, Lavender St, Beach Rd. This could waste a lot of time. If a ffw is introduced, it could save time but the prices can be set lower as those working adults taking it are not so rich, one point to let them consider about. Thats I have about to say Smile

Hello! You don't need to be poor in order to use the bus. There are rich people who use the buses too. It's just a matter of preference and convenience. And do you know what are buses? Buses are public transportation. Which means, rich or poor, fat or thin, black or white, immature or mature, silly or clever all can use the public transport. Can you have some common sense if you don't ave any common dollar!

Just a suggestion:

30e can possibly also start from Boon Lay Int too. I belief it will have quite good pax as Express 507 was already withdrawn.

For 10e, maybe can extend to Kent Ridge for NUS students.

why will SBS want to start it from Boon Lay when it withdraw 507 in the first place

gorby107 SG

Sorry I have some misconception on that. All people can sit the public transport regardless they are rich or poor as they are people's transport. Sorry for that Smile

I suggestion Sv 10e will be Tampines to Kent Ridger Term

10e is linking Tampines Int and Ave 5, Upper East Coast Rd, East Coast Rd, Old Airport Rd, Collyer Quay, Paffles Quay, Shenton Way, Harbour NEL stn, PSA Bld, Haw Par Villa, S'pore Science Park and Kent Ridger Ter.. It is a short journey and more than 20 bus-stop very faster...

First and foremost, I have no violent objections to the introduction of "ffw107"

However, since you've mentioned, those workers in Kallang Bahru/Geylang Bahru are not that wealthy, how many of them would be willing to take "ffw107" since it only helps a little? I had difficulty comprehending the last part of your statement (perhaps due to your english), whereby you stated "could save time but the prices can be set lower". What do you mean by this? You meant ffw107 fares should be set cheaper than the rest of fast forward services? Doesn't sound very practical & realistic to me.

Furthermore, I feel that there is a better way of utilising the buses instead of putting potential buses on "ffw107" as personally, I dont feel that the demand is so solid. Hence, I am not very supportive of the introduction of ffw107.

I think most of us here know what is your actual motive of suggesting ffw107:- Due to your overwhelming passion for service 107. However, please consider other factors and be more meticulous when you make a statement. Wink

carbikebus SG

sinicker SG

gorby107 SG

SBS2811P SG

FFW162 ba!!!

Then put me 2811P on FFW162!!!Vroooooooooooom!!!Wheee!!!

105090 SG

next potential for ffw may be 24e

^tamago^ SG

thanks. i coined the idea much earlier when FFw 97e took off.

2 full months after i suggested it to them, they replied after a through study that they have no plans to have a service like FFw 162e.

fyi, i also live along the route of 162 but tough luck, so we can just wait.

and the idea of 147e is excellent.

alex_cai92 SG

y? any reasons..???

28_29_293 SG

i guess there’ll be no 147E n even no 80E cos sbstransit will tell u take NEL instead.

28_29_293 SG

aft 19 sept:
10E (east to ctrl)
30E (east to west)
89E (northeast to east)
97E (west to ctrl)
174E (west to ctrl)

tranquilice SG

I’m wondering, if SBST introduces another FFw route on the same parent service (for example: A new FFw service on service 30 from Boon Lay to HarbourFront), what will SBST number this service as?

sinicker SG

30e²

SBS9828X SG

Laughing

And the list goes on 30³

Or maybe 30ex

But i dont think they will introduce two FFw from a service...
