502 "Express"

last SG · 2005-01-30T19:58:36+00:00

the only way an express svc can be converted to trunk service is when demand drops steadily. or else, if ppl dun mind paying more to take an express bus home...

That's because the interval between 2 sv174s is lengthened when sv174e is in operation, ie each sv174e replaces its sv174 counterpart instead of being an additional service. So for people who don't want to wait for the next sv174 which is 13mins away, they'd rather take the next bus which is sv174e.

Can you take service 105?

i stayed along AMK ave 3 (blk 554) bus stop there.. got Express 511 and Express 512.. every morning 511 100% full.. SBS have to deploy 50% DDs.. i took 512 come back from orchard road was a breeze.. 20 minutes, in comfort of a half-loaded bus.. suprisingly, after NEL came, 511 / 512 freq became 15 - 30 mins, and loads felled.. can see the pax all took NEL instead.. 511/512 should be faster ma.. majority pax stays along ave 9/ s'goon north and theres no reason why they avoided 511, 512 like a plague after the NEL surfaced.. on the other hand, sv85 (20 mins) got 90% full at the evening of its last day.. Rolling Eyes can remember 508 brcame 511, and freq became 15 mins to 8 mins.. sigh.. ppl along HG ave 8 avoided 501 as a result and took 511 as a faster alternative

Anyone knows why there is no ETA plates for Express 518?

I can see that Express 506 really deserve the ETA plates to be gone as its frequency has improved.

if u mean those in the city, there is. its together with the bus stop plates/stands found on all CBD bus stops.

I see. thanks for the info.

There are ETAs for this service on every stop along its route.

no offence, but i jus found out yesterday tat the one outside plaza singapura is missing. hope it does come back soon.

sadly, i also waited from 9.50pm to 10.45pm before a Mk IV DM pulled up (if it's Mk III i think i will wan to scream). not really mad, cos can tell he's caught up in the jam cos eventually (and luckily) he gave me the fastest ride ever on a 518. the whole bus was shakingly fast. still, he's 10 mins late at my arriving stop but no hard feelings.

The ETA of Express 518 at this stop is not put up on the bus stop pole but displayed on the board instead. Did you mean the ETA on the board is missing? Confused

^tamago^ SG

the board is makeshift after a silkair ad is splashed on the bus stop. but the 518 ETA is not found on the board anymore.
