Oops. Claims for refund invalid after 3 days (that ride with wrong fare deduction is on 12 Sep).

He actually means:

In the recent past, Dunearn Rd/Bt Timah Rd between Whitley Rd and Newton Circus had more SMRT services than SBST services. There were 4 SMRT services - 67, 171, 700 and 960 while there were 2 SBST services - 66 and 170. But with services 48 and 57 plying here, the number of SMRT and SBST services here are now equal, which ends the "SMRT domination" which is the terms he used to describe.

DOn't forget 67 & 171 were once operated by SBS in the past.

I remember that. Wink In my previous post, I mentioned " In the recent past... " The year 1999 (for handover of service 67) don't seem recent to me. Neutral

No_10_Tomas_Rosicky SG

wow, now besides 232, there will be another svc plying Lor 6. More buses should be diverted to Lor 6, cos Lor 4 is too pampered.

Lor 4 - 28, 56, 73, 88, 105, 153, 155, 157, 159, 163, 231
Lor 6 - 57, 232

You mean those spare Mk IIs controlled by West Dist are now at AMDEP? When I saw the earlier post containing the regoes, I thought they were ARBP ones.

I took Service 57 today, and here's my review.

Route - 8 (The service had potential on this one.)

Loading - 5 (The main weakness of this service on weekends.)

Frequency -7 (This one's OK)

Comfort - 9 (Major point on this service)

Bus Fleet - 7 (Too bad this service cannot use DDs)

Overall - 80 (A potential service that might stay for years to come)

CAIX SG

Hi, just came back from taking service 57. Here are my comments:

Route - 10 / 10 : Very good and integrated route on this service. Serve Bishan, Toa Payoh, Whitely, Bukit Timah, Newton, North Bridge Road, Shenton Way, CBD, Telok Blangah, PSA, Keppel, Harbour Front, Bukit Merah. Good and Special Route

Loading - 3 / 10
Very few people take this service (as well as 5 Cool , Except me.

Frequency -8 / 10
Freq. range is not bad, just like other bishan service.

Comfort - 5 / 10
This bus mainly uses MKII and MKII has a lot of weakness - Noisy, air-con not strong, the bus shakes when at high speed.

Bus Fleet - 6 / 10
This service (as well as 5 Cool uses old bus like MKII & CRB. Should use newer bus like MKIV DM 3500 or VSO.

Overall - 60 / 100
This service has room for improvement. But in the begining, its OK.

I will evaulate service 58 next week (because it is holiday so I can take the service).
