sbst275 SG CW1 should charge $0.85 (Kota Raya) and $1.15 (Larkin) to complete with 170... Fares should be based on card fares Sv 950, CW1, CW2 are just clogging the Checkpoint..... All never fully utitlised, worst is that the Checkpoint which is not well ventilated already, have CW1, CW2 and 950 waiting there for at least 10 mins to get utitilised... SBS and SJE (Most of the time) need not
tranquilice SG You mean duplicating with MRT? (Service 67 duplicates with MRT between Kallang and Bedok).
PJ_Quek SG what i mean is the CW, SMRT and SBST berths all join together ( something like Woodland interchange boarding berth, 3 svcs queue together )
SBS9818A SG SBST275, honestly I think there's something wrong with you up there. A simple post on extending 985 to Suntec City has degenerated into a slugfest about SMRT vs SBST, Handal Indah vs SBST etc etc. If not for these competition would SBST improve their services? Without CW1 or Sv 950 do you think SBST would even bother to bump the frequencies of 170 up and allow 170X to call ADJACENT to Kranji MRT? And I am really inclined to think you haven't taken services like 965 or 969. I'm a relatively regular passenger of 969 and let me tell you, it has high passenger loads even during off peak hours. I strongly urge you not to go around spewing your vitirol when you don't even know what is going on in the first place.
sbst275 SG Fine Fine Fine 9818, you may pleased to know that bef or after the compeition, the no of buses for SBS JB rts remains @ 60 (The total fleet size)
SBS9818A SG There is NO LOGIC in Sv 966 going into Bukit Panjang as there are SO MANY alternative services available to Woodlands, such as Sv 187 and Sv 960. Moreover, do you think it would be effective to make Sv 966 running time longer? Its main purpose is to link Marine Parade and Woodlands within an hour and if it were to go inside Bukit Panjang, the purpose is being defeated! And I don't think you realise the problems Sv 950 is facing now, the service is temporarily short of qualified drivers. Quit blaming SMRT for every little problem that surfaces. If you think you're that good, go create your own bus company and we'll see how you perform.
SBS9818A SG Again, your intelligence (or lack thereof) rears its ugly head. SBST has recently increased its JB fleet to EIGHTY buses. How on earth do you expect them to cope with 60 buses for three seperate routes?

PJ_Quek SG Yes. But if I use Bus Concession to enter Malaysia, I just see which bus come first at WDL, regardless 160, 170 or 950
PJ_Quek SG Just a suggestion for 966 only. Maybe another route call 967 can solve the problem. 967: CCK BPJ PIE TAP Eunos Marine Parade
rancour5 SG Can we get back to topic!!!This is abt 985 nt other services..other services ..open another thread for goodness sake.. Among all the suggestions..think the best one is 4 it to extend to upper east coast.Btw if it goes there? which terminal do you think it can call at?
tranquilice SG Yes, extend to Upp East Coast via 853's Sundays and PHs route. Don't understand the sentence in blue.
rancour5 SG what i mean is.. if we extend it..then why should 985 call at geylang lor 1 terminal..we can extend to other terminals i hope. if so, then which terminal shd it terminate it.
iveco SG actually, 985 amendment better. instead of using Bendemeer & Boon Keng to Geylang Fringe, can go by Macpherson, Paya Lebar & Sims Ave to EUN.How about this suggestion I overheard in the Shoutbox? Not a bad idea, right?
iveco SG MacPherson Rd, Paya Lebar Rd, Sims Ave, EUN Rd 2, EUN Int. Doesn't enter MacPherson or Ubi Estates. For pax going to MacPherson Rd (Bef Aljunied Rd), it's a faster alternative to 61.
