Tibs numbering system

off_service SG

Hi people. Do you think that Tibs should change it's current numbering system? Example:

Service 858 (Woodlands - Yishun - Airport):

This service is a Woodlands service. Should it be renumbered to 96x? For example service 968.

Service 989 (CCK - Bt Batok - Airport):

Sembawang services are getting the 98x numberings (980, 981). Do you think the CCK services should be renumbered?

Trunk service:
67 >> 957
190 >> 950
188 >> 958
172 >> 952
175 >> 955
989 >> 959

Feeder / Intratown:
300 >> 930
302 >> 932
307 >> 937

Bt Batok Trunk services:

61 >> 861
77 >> 867 or 877
106 >> 866
189 >> 869 or 889
173 >> 863 or 873

Give me your thoughts and comments. Thanks! Mr. Green

The following are my suggestions:

Yishun:- (80X, 81X, 85X, 86X)
171 --> 850

Sembawang:- (98X, 99X)
167 --> 982

Woodlands:- (90X, 91X, 95X, 96X)
169 --> 952
178 --> 953
187 --> 951
858 --> 950
925 --> 958
926 --> 959

Note that 925 to 927 are renumbered to avoid confusion as Bukit Panjang feeder services are 920 and 921.

Choa Chu Kang:- (87X, 88X, 93X)
67 --> 870
172 --> 874
175 --> 880
185 --> 875
188 --> 872
190 --> 871
300 --> 931
302 --> 932
307 --> 930
927 --> 881
989 --> 873

Bukit Panjang:- (92X, 97X)
75 --> 974
176 --> 971
177 --> 975
180 --> 972
184 --> 973

Bukit Batok:- (89X, 94X)
61 --> 890
77 --> 892
106 --> 891
173 --> 893
189 --> 894

Yishun
171 --> 971 (This number is suitable when it visits Bukit Panjang) =P

Sembawang
It remains unknown. I predict that it may be 86x.
167 --> 987
980 --> 980
981 --> 981 (The bus service is similar to Svc 964 and if there's a new Sembawang interchange, the routes of Svc 856 and 169 may be amended)

Woodlands
169 --> 966
178 --> 968
187 --> 967
858 --> 858 (This number is NICE when it goes to the airport via Yishun!)

920, 921, 925 and 926 remains unknown :-X

Choa Chu Kang
67 --> 897
172 --> 892
175 --> 175 (This number is NICE when it goes to Lim Chu Kang!) :-X
185 --> 895
188 --> 898
190 --> 890
300 --> 931
302 --> 932
307 --> 930
989 --> 899

Bukit Panjang
75 --> 975
176 --> 976
177 --> 977
180 --> 978
184 --> 974

Bukit Batok
61 --> 61 (This number seems to owned by SBST) :-X
77 --> 957
106 --> 106 (This number seems to owned by SBST) :-X
173 --> 953
189 --> 959

Oh my god! If TIBS is going to renumber the services that way, it might cause a little confusion for the commuters to know which bus service is the former bus service. (i.e. 106—> 8XX, etc)

Airbus330Captain SG

I agree that TIBs should renumber their numbers , well thats a good point that the re-numbering might confuse the commutors .

tranquilice SG

SBST always put up service plates at bus-stops to inform passengers of the renumbered services. Maybe Tibs can follow, however Tibs must renumber their services one area by one area.

SBS9818A SG

It would cause confusion for the first few weeks, especially for old folk but I also don’t see the need to renumber perfectly good service numbers just for the sake of “blending in with the TIBS identity”

off_service SG

I think they should renumber services that are formally from SBST. Imagine a traveller who came here previously and see a service in SBS colour and now he sees it in Tibs colour. I think they would be even more confused.

SBS9818A SG

I don’t think the general public are concerned, as long as the services goes the same route and they can take it home, that’s their mentality.

oliver_yuen87 SG

honestly, it doesn’t matter. if tibs want to re-number, they would have done it long ago. think they only want to renumber feeder services

Just_Me_loh SG

No! becoz both are ddifferent bus company.. no need to change
wat matter most is there is bus to reach our destination can already. The bus numbering system, let the bus company and the parliment to do the job!

tranquilice SG

Does the bus numbering system has anything to do with the parliament?
