Hopefully somebody here would not compared our GCM with Australia i hope..Aussie is Aussie and Sg is Sg..why not?

In my opinion,I prefer SMRT bus operations.I think SMRT buses are running faster & a more reliable speed. So I hope LTA give SMRT a chance although they might hate them.

running faster? try 67 along bukit timah towards tampines, 170s 8 mins behind a 67 at bpj mrt can take over the front 67 along dunearn rd

God bless ppl if this Bt Merah Package got run by SMRT. Sv 950 can wait for 2 hours and no bus appear. Singapore will be doomed if we continue run by incompetence operator. TEL won by SMRT despite all the screwed up in NSEW, CCL and BPLRT all screwed up big time by incompetence operator, SMRT.

Lost the Bulim bus package, backdoor take back Svc 944, 110. where are we heading to

Whatever they do wrong in the rail line,it is train. Bus & train are different.

Maybe coz 67 have higher demand?

To me, it still feels like a joke that 110 is operated by SMRT - especially if it's under Sengkang-Hougang package. At first I thought it's to allow bendies on 110, but oh well.

For years, 950 had been cited as an example of a badly treated cross-border service, especially when compared to 160 and 170. Not sure if the situation has improved...

2 buses added to Sv950 ever since TWRI opened..

SBS8676Z SG

110 should move to SBST under HGDEP control.

117 should move to Go Ahead in return for 136 back to SBST (maybe to Seletar).

61 and 944 join hands with the rest of Bt Batok services under TT.

I don't think their buses are really running at a reasonable speed.. Till now there's still services (E.g. 171, 860, 969, etc) snailing..

SMB5007J SG

Maybe coz 67 have higher demand?

no, it's the schedulling. Take 170 and most of the time it will go 60kmh without stopping at bus stops that often, while for 67 even if there is a 170 approx 8 mins behind + 67 stops at quite a number of bus stops, the 170 will eventually overtake, especially during off peak.

117 should move to Go Ahead in return for 136 back to SBST (maybe to Seletar).

110 switch with 117 make more sense, come to think of it.

136 better to swap for 109 to reduce dead runs. I have been saying it from day #1.

Can consider merging 117 with 883 to become 1 SMRT trunk service.

I actually think it's better to keep 117 and 883 as separate services in the long term, as one service will probably not be enough for the whole Canberra estate. Furthermore, 117's demand for the rest of its route is unlikely to deserve the same frequency as 883's route in Canberra when it is fully developed.

carbikebus SG

Agreed,both have their own catchments...883 recently got DD upgrades also..

phillipC SG

when is the expected announcement date for the winner of Bt Merah bus package ? anyone know?

CZT SG

when is the expected announcement date for the winner of Bt Merah bus package ? anyone know?

Probably nxt year when Seletar package is officially passed to SBS for OPS?

carbikebus SG

when is the expected announcement date for the winner of Bt Merah bus package ? anyone know?

Some reliable info says that the three door Enviro500 will be fitted with a new Euro6 Cummins engine..I am thinking of the new L-9 370hp/1600nm which is suitable for three axles DD/Coach
