cck_190 SG Well, 1 reason might be that after almost 2 years of not doing a bus guide and having many changes in the bus services, they might have gotten a bit confused when they were making the guide.So, they missed out a few things...
^tamago^ SG i haven't seen NAC buses on AMK feeders and Townlink svcs for a long time.. dun think Svc 262 is PAC..
MooKu SG But I still think bus guides should be checked to ensure it is as accurate as possible... I got extremely cheesed off once when I took a wrong bus and ended up at some other interchange instead of the intended one and I was so late for my lessons. 2 years of not doing a bus guide? You mean this time it's by er uh ex-SBS-dunno-what-Transit-it's-called-now-sorry, and the past 2 years by Mighty Minds?
freakybuses SG 262 is the THIRD feeder svc in AMK to be FAC... just after 261 and 266... Missed the O405 OAC operating on 261 & 266... these 3 svcs plus 267 operated on pure O405 OACs before CACs are on the roads...
cck_190 SG Transitlink bus guides are published in the earlier beginning of the year. So, 2 years is the gap between the last transitlink bus guide produced(Early 2002) and this year's transitlink bus guide(Early 2004) Transitlink did not publis and bus guide in 2003 due to the NEL network rationalisation.Mighty Minds produced quite a number of versions last year. Anyway, how can you take a wrong bus to your school when you go there everyday???
MooKu SG No lar, piano lessons mah. I went for them from a different location that day, so I actually went to check up which buses I could take! In the end I was brought to a different location... and then I had to take a cab. 2 years ah?! Can't they like, you know, update the bus routes in a computerized-system whenever routes are changed? In that way it'll be more up-to-date no....?
cck_190 SG Their e-guides are up to date but their book guides are not.They can't possibly be producing new guides everytime a service is amended or made...
tranquilice SG Originally posted by cck_190: Their [b]e-guides are up to date but their book guides are not.They can't possibly be producing new guides everytime a service is amended or made...[/b]SBST online guide is not up to date. Remember in 1992 Transitlink came out with a free supplement guide when many services were amended.
freakybuses SG but yet i remembered there was a notice about 262 going FAC some years ago... 2001 or 2002...
MooKu SG Originally posted by cck_190: Their [b]e-guides are up to date but their book guides are not.They can't possibly be producing new guides everytime a service is amended or made...[/b] I didn't know they had e-guides!! No lar of course not have a new version of the bus guide whenever changes are implemented... I was hoping that at least say, Year 2004's bus guide could include changes up till e.g. November 2003... As updated as possible... you know.
service_238 SG Cut off date is 15th February 2004 while the book says 31st January 2004. Note that there's no service change in the month of march. Svc 37 operating hours are as before the change.
SBS9818A SG That should be no cause for errors in Sv. 111, Sv. 28 and Sv. 29! They were AMENDED WELL BEFORE 31th Jan!
ipodee SG i contacted transitlink in the past on such errors but they always say that the cut-off date was xxx months ago, but cant blame them cos such things need time to publish
