gynobcard SG while i was on board svc 856 to woodlands today, i saw 2 svc 170 buses parked at the heavy vehicle park at Marsiling crescent (after Admiralty West Prison; near Riverside road). anyone knows why in the world are those 2 jokers there??
delonchew SG Exactly what I have been wondering when I saw them a month back. Same method of travelling as gynobcard, on 856 which passes back Marsiling Crescent heavy vehicle park.
BlessingSatan SG They are stand by drivers waiting for their shift.In meantime,They can had their coffee break too.
freakybuses SG And btw, most 170s go via Woodlands Ave 3 and enter Woodlands Rd instead of Woodlands Rd down all the way to Upp Bt Timah… why?
thots SG i noticed that too. is it becos they wanted to avoid the heavy jam along woodlands road? most lorries going back malaysia used old woodlands road.
The_Bus_Guide SG The correct route of sv. 170 is via Woodlands Rd and Woodlands Centre Rd. If there is a congestion at Woodlands Rd, they will be diverted via Woodlands Ave 3. Same goes for TIBS sv. 178.
BlessingSatan SG Mostly ya,They are on stand by after their meal breaks as most of 170 drivers stays at JB,So they won't go back for rest instead they take a break there.
gynobcard SG sorry for the sidetrack, but those malaysian bus drivers have to return the buses to BBDEP after their last trip right? so is there an employee bus that brings them back to JB after they end their shifts (for eg after the night shift)?
SBS9818A SG Not sure, I don't think the Mk IIIs park at Larkin, do they? The JB employees normally have their own motorbikes.
