Finally, SBS is back to Toh Tuck Ave Very Happy But why 507 is axed?

Great! Need not take 188 anymore from some stretch of Toh Guan Rd. But I hope that it can call IMM instead actually

leeJZ SG

Svc 507 can be chopped, MRT is faster and cheaper without the need to change trains.

sbst275 SG

507's demand is from Toh Guan mainly. So the MRT reason is really ilogical as you would take 105 then EWL, where is the direct journey then?

leeJZ SG

was refering to svc 507 pax living in Jurong West.

sbst275 SG

Say clearly, 507 has overloading capacity FYI

leeJZ SG

dont forget it has 25min headways.

sbst275 SG

Ya lah, but the bus is packed until passengers is standing on bth entrance and exit steps Very Happy

Regarding 96 and 151 diversion

For 183

sbs&tibs SG

Look, 183 does not really serve 507 withdrawn sector, isn't it? It was said that 507 had quite some loads right? What is the reason of withdrawn.

OFF TOPIC: BNL took 182 from JRE and now JRE taking 507 away from BNL. Doen't it looks like a cycle?

sbst275 SG

That's why I'm puzzled as well... Although frequency is 25 mins, it is a cash cow to residents at Toh Guan Rd. That's why I'm enhancing it by making travelling time shorter.

Regarding 183, it seems that that is a solution other than Sv 96

iveco SG

Then can 183 be enhanced? Combining it with 95 or 200, for instance.

sbst275 SG

Maybe not from anyway I can see as for 95, it will skip Kent Ridge which may trouble people. 200 maybe but you know that 183 is a new service that they are just to link up Old Toh Tuck Rd and Toh Guan Rd East as there are no oth svs

tranquilice SG

Service 95 needs to serve Kent Ridge terminal, so not feasible. As for service 200, it has a frequency of 20 to 25 minutes while service 183 is about 12 minutes, so there may be a problem.

SBS Transit introduces vehicle location system to more bus services

The Vehicle Location System (VLS) will be introduced on another five service routes - 3, 194, 282, 284 and 285 with effect from 23 August 2004. This follows the successful launch of the system early this month on five service routes - 40, 228, 265, 268, 506.

And given the positive reception to our goodwill ambassadors who have been stationed on the buses to help familiarize commuters with the system, SBS Transit will deploy another 37 goodwill ambassadors during the peak period on 23 August 2004 to the five new VLS service routes to assist commuters.

iveco SG

Is SMRT doing any more VLS trials? Or do they have to sort out 189 first?

^tamago^ SG

dunno?
