CW1 should 80sen from JB checkpoint to Kranji, I think. The price
is about the same as 170. However, they are having a poor business
because their boarding berth is located too far. People who get out
of the JB checkpoint immigration counter will see 170 berth
immediately, followed by 950 berth. CW 1 is about 50~80 metres
away. People tend to travel in a more convenient way, thus, will
try to walk less. And this might be one of the reason why CW is
having a poor business.
Besides, last week I went to Malaysia, I saw that SBST 170X is
taking passengers from Kranji MRT. [b]Yes, passengers no need to
cross the overhead bridge anymore, they can take 170X from the bus
stop beside "This Fashion". Like that, people sure will
take the 170X buses, because they no need to cross the road
anymore. Nevertheless, passengers still can board 170X, 170 and 160
when they cross the overhead bridge.
On the other hand, CW 1 does provides coin changing services, but
their counter in the Kranjin MRT bus stop (opposite one), is a make
shift one. Moreover, passengers have to get drenched to reach the
counter when it rains. This is also another factor that CW1 is
having a poor business.[/b]
PJ, 170 charges in RM also... Like S$1.00 @ Kranji... RM1.00
from Kota Raya, so it is fair playing ground... Ya, should follow
card fare, easier to complete... Like this very hard to complete...
CW2 and SJE is at deadlock as of coin changing sv... I am thinking
of asking SBS to have coin changing @ Kranji to make Handal Indah
to go back to Malaysia... HI want to eat our business
