I agree that they are a bit over-taxed with the handling of both
modes of operation as it is one company with different divisions,
while SMRT is still a company on its own, TIBS is just aggluminated
in name, hence SMRT corp service can tend to be rather misleading
and poor sometimes.
However, at least SBST still manages to keep up with its bus
operations rather well, [b]especially the feeder
services it serves. I am rather impressed by how it routes its
services in the area it serves, and if its in TIBS case, they would
rather place one overtaxed service there and cite "duplication" as
a reason, and i hope that this is one point that SBST can keep it
up.
Rail service is rather lacklustre......considering the frequency of
trains, but i feel that sometimes its reasonable considering the
loads ( Anyone seen a fully packed train on the NEL right to the
doors ? ) , but it would be better if placed in the hands of SMRT
because of experience.
Just my own opinion and views

Correct. I believe the only aspect to commend SBST on is their
feeder services, very well organised and planned, although some are
circuitous, but the way they run their trunk services is atrocious,
compared to TIBS, sometimes.
