1) Try the UK Dennis Lances xcept TIB1007H. Most of them are
able to turn your skin red at the end of the journey. Some of the
Habits are keen to freeze you into ice by the end of the journey,
especially in the morning.
2)The routes that SBST operates are mainly those with historical
reasons. In the past, SBST follows Boeing strategy, now the trend
had moved towards Airbus strategy, thanks to the MRT.
Comparitively, TIBS routes are planned much later.
The newer SBST routes BTW, are very direct and fast. Eg. Svc 161,
168 and 39. Svc 39 wind thru Pasir Ris and Tampines due to high
demand during the peak hours, its cheaper to take 39 from Yishun
than 969 + transfer.
3)Every bus service provider has the problem, but much of the time
is dur to unpredictable traffic congestions. For exmaple, during
the Chantek jam last month, 5 svc 74 VO3-Ax arrived at Bt Timah Rd
in tandem.
Try waiting for svc 852 at nite after missing one bus, and u
believe that the off peak freq on their site is only 17mins at most
when u start counting 5 74Vos going off past u..
4) Recommended buses: SBS2836T(161), SBS2829(39),
SBS2831(39)
