Service 307 was set up by then-SBS as a townlink
service.Townlink 307 had Double Deckers and MK3s. It is a merger of
Service 301, which is the current 307 Teck Whye route, and Service
303, current 307 CCK St 62 route.
When Tibs first took over, it was indeed a pampered service. It
received bendies, and frequency was good. That only lasted for
around 3 months. It was probably because Tibs was trying to
popularize itself with residents of CCK.
So, in 2000, two months after the launch of the BPLRT, Tibs
shortened it and converted it into a Feeder Bus Service. It only
served CCK St 62. Then came the pre-2001 elections, a lot of Teck
Whye residents complained to the MP and thus, the MP told Tibs to
reinitiate the route. however, tibs only reinitiated half of the
Teck Whye route. During this period, frequency was getting worse
and bendys were no longer deployed.DAFs were deployed.Also, the
direction of the service was changed, it went to teck whye first
before going to St 62.
In late 2001, Tibs then initiated the whole of the old 307 route
and on the press release, it was written as "Enhancement of 307"
and introduced it as a new intratown service. During this time,
only onece a bendy was deployed and then all the CACs started
coming into 307.
Now, 307 is one of the most unfairly treated service. With a
frequency of 15 minutes (although smrt claimed as 12 mins), 307
receives the dirtiest CACs of all CAC 0405. Well, what to do? it's
the fate of it. I know all these as I have been taking 307 since
it's SBS days...
