I saw this kind of situation a few times already. But most of the time, i see the CT18s on Service 69.

I once saw a service 229 with a CT18 desto in it and the rego was the same (SBS 857)

Back to the topic. I found out from a BC that the BC does not even know that the ETAs are missing! I remember the MK4 was with a LEXMARK ad at the back of it.

WHen i showed him that it was missing, he laughed! Laughing

which service is it?

tranquilice SG

BCs usually don't notice if the ETA plates on bus stop poles are missing or not.

SBS9889U SG

Express 506.

i believe they might have noticed that their timesheets all got revised though, but i agree they may not necessarily notice the same about the ETA plates.

service 125 was missing when 125A is removed because 125 have better frequencies now as it has ore buses serving..

sbskidz SG

The plate is put up again but not the time but telling commuters that 125 operate on weekdays betwen * and * and does not operate on Sunday and public holidays…

105090 SG

sv125 never had plates telling ppl it dont operates on sundays and PHs aint it? its like sv90 ETA: ppl thinks it only operates on suns & PHs only, same as sv138 on weekdays only..

anyway, the ETAs some not honest one.. like Express 518A in the morning 1st 3 trips.. ppl may think its a full trip, not a terminating trip..

105090 SG

do sv125A terminates at all? its route is from sims place to Bendemeer Rd (loop) and i cant see anywhere for it to terminate?

^tamago^ SG

layover at sims place terminal lor.

in any case, it seems tat the bus might do a few trips in a string if the svc is operated by S shifts.

sbskidz SG

I know the route very well!!!! I just live at Serangoon Road!!!
From sims place all the way to Bendmeer road, turn to Whampoa East.
Driver normally rest at the bus stop of service 20( Outside Beng Wan Primary school)..now demolish..only stop there.Then change the number to 125 and turn in to Serangoon Road and continue the route to sims place.

tranquilice SG

Were passengers of SWT125A allowed to remain onboard beyond Bendemeer Rd?

sbst275 SG

It is like a loop sv.. Reach Sims Dr, it would be back to 125

105090 SG

means 125A only do 1 round, terminate at bendemeer rd then become 125 again.. so how does it commences? from sims drive as a empty bus? or BC kicks ppl out of 125, and change to 125A?

sbst275 SG

OK..

It starts as 125 @ St Michael...

Reaches Sims Dr, change to 125A...

Reach Bendermeer Rd, loop back

Reach Sims Dr again, change back to 125

tranquilice SG

It’s good that SBST withdrawn SWT 125A. It’s so confusing. Also passengers taking service 125 along Sims Dr had to wait for the next bus if a SWT came by, now they no longer have to do that.

sbst275 SG

And @ 1800 - 1900 esp, have to wait up till 40 mins to get 1 125...

105090 SG

125A side plate says: Terminating at Bendemeer Road (o/s Blk 54).
The service guide says "operates from Sims Dr (blk 45) to Bendemeer Rd (o/s blk54), looping at (opp woodsville sec school), so passengers cannot take 125A beyond Bendemeer Rd? and also cannot take 125 from sims place or remain in the soon-to-be 125A?

anyway, 125A main loads are mainly from POSBank and Aljunied MRT into Kallang Way.. very few ppl goes towards SMT.

sbst275 SG

By right, cannot...

Very few? Not really...
