from your translation, it can be seen that SMRT staff is forced to
promote their own LRT/MRT services, and not to inform commuters
that there is a shorter way to get to Toa Payoh i.e which is to
transfer from SMRTBus service 190, 700 or 960 to SBSTransit service
105 or 153 at Whitley Rd... cannot blame the staff as he/she is an
employee of SMRT...
i guess it is the same for SBSTransit... if u try SBSTransit
website, and u try to plan the shortest time traveled from e.g Toa
Payoh Interchange to Bukit Panjang Rd (Blk 183), u will find that
the results will be either
Solution 1 - board sv 105 or 153 at Toa Payoh Central (Blk 177),
alight at Whitley Rd, cross the bridge and transfer to [b]sv
181M and alight at Blk 183... (
Solution 2 - board sv 143 at interchange, alight at Scotts Rd (Far
East Plaza), cross over and transfer to sv 181M at
Orchard MRT Station (
Solution 3 - board sv 145 at interchange, alight at North Bridge Rd
(St Andrew's Cathedral) and transfer to sv
181M
If you guys noticed, all involves transferring to sv 181M... and
actually what is the frequency of sv 181M? on christmas eve, new
year eve and CNY eve & CNY holidays itself... asking the
commuter to wait long long to get to Bukit Panjang? 
and none of the solutions informs the commuters to
transfer to SMRT services...
It seems rather absurd, but this is the competition between the two
transport companies, and we the poor commuters have to figure out
the way ourselves... Sad isn't it, but again, this is Singapore...
Get the picture?[/b]
Although Sv 181M only operates on Festive, isn't it as a guide
as the alt is Sv 190, 700, 960?
