I think service 963 is introduced in 2003 by SMRT.

I recently saw a notice about this new service 408 going from Harbourfront to Labrador Park at Harbourfront Interchange. Does anyone know where to find the exact route of service 408?

i_am_a_penis SG

a childish enquiry...

do u guys know how does SBST pick the numbers for a new service to be introduced, eg, why pick "408" for this service and not other numbers??

they use the 4-digit methods by singapore pool also??

coz 4xx svcs are for leisure buses tt operates at a higher frequency and weekend, special periods [xcept for sv403]. This is to differentiate from Normal svcs. 8 is for the bus svc to prosper and hopefully fill ridership.

Do you mean 966?

Route:
HarbourFront int, (Seah Im Rd), Telok Blangah Rd*, (Pasir Panjang Rd), Labrador Villa Rd, Carpark A, (Labrador Villa Rd), (Port Rd), Carpark B, (Port Rd), (Labrador Villa Rd), un-named road, Telok Blangah Rd*, (Seah Im Rd), HarbourFront int.

() denotes express

*semi-express

But 410 is BSH feeder.

sbst275 SG

Sv 410 is kinda funny... It was not classified as a feeder sv till late 90's

The Mk4 DM3500 featured in the poster is SBS 2837 R, a service 161 bus.

Expect service 408 to use Dennis Darts due to 3 reasons. First is that the stretch of Labrador Villa Rd outside the food centre (one-way road) is narrow and there is illegal parking on both sides of the road, so 12m buses will have serve problems passing thru this stretch of the road. Second is that the stretch of Port Rd between former Tanjong Berlayer camp and carpark B is out-of-bound to all heavy vehicles including 12m buses, there are signs there displaying this. Third is that the buses have to do a 3-point turn in carpark B and based on my observation, there is insufficient space for a 12m bus to do a 3-point turn there.

So far, in Labrador park, there is only one poster informing the public of the new service at the bus stop near carpark A, the poster is pasted on a NParks notice board. There is no poster at carpark B.

Bus stop yellow-box marking had been done on the road surface at the bus stop near carpark A. The marking is: "For SBS T buses only". The bus stop marking is about the length of a Dennis Dart. The bus stop near carpark A is at the roundabout, with no bus stop pole. As for the location of the bus stop at carpark B, there is nothing there presently to identify where it will be.

Also, so far there is no bus stop poles after the food centre (towards the park) and opposite Singapore Institute of Marketing (towards HarbourFront). These two are the additional bus stops along Labrador Villa Rd beside the two at Labrador park.

Then how come? Dennis Dart only got 10 buses..For 42 and 92

sbst275 SG

Em... It runs on Weekend... Sv 92 Dart can be deployed

Parks 408 is like the Citybuzz scheme. The fare is so ex. Even 401 charges normal trunk fares. Mad

sbst275 SG

Hey... You should be happy that they are providing the service

sbst275 SG

Hey... We have been neglecting the berth at the int...

Is it ready yet?

TIB1133B SG

From BDK to certain areas of ECP, I doubt anyone will cross into the third fare zone.

sbst275 SG

Hey... You can't compare apple with oranges... It is difficult to serve Labordor Pk using main fleet buses...

And, BDK to ECP? Are you sure? All are $1.03... Go see Sv 30, 401... Other than Sv 401 up to UDMC Chalet.

SBS9611D SG

Look no further than here for Svc 401 fare structure. From BDK to COsta Sands, it's still 83c. 408 route details are not out yet.
