With SBST operating svc 851 & 852,There is no SMRT svc at a few stretches along Thomson Rd .....So much for monopoly

What about 167, 855 & 980?

iveco SG

Part of Yishun,YCK,AMK,BIS & TPY is SBST territory...

That's why i'm hoping to see a different operator in Hougang other than the usual suspects. It would make lots of sense for the current Loyang franchisee to also take Hougang.

It's okay. SMRT had not been doing those stretches of Thomson Road any justice anyway. Good riddance.

122 MAN A95 FL mainly for SMRT and SBST. TT and GA hav enough DDs should be as the former have some of their B9TLs in LTA storage.

A22 fan SG

As for the A22s. SBST will be more likely to received SG plated ones in SMALL numbers provided there is not enough citaros supplied to them. TT should have enough SDs already i suppose and GA will only more likely to receive BSEP A22s in very small numbers if they need SD fleet additions as supply of citaro will be limited then. If they are keen to.

What about 167, 855 & 980?

167 and 980 covers all of Thomson and Upper Thomson Roads but frequncy sux.

855 does not cover Thomson Road at all

855 does not cover Thomson Road at all

855 got serve 1 bus stop at Thomson Rd.

After 851 & 852 kena kapo by SBST,I'm pretty sure they will increase frequency and put DDs on 167 & 980.

BusAnalayzer SG

I think more than monopoly service level is important. I am sure SBS will do a better job with 851. 852 loading sucks so nothing to say about it. Easily SMRT could have added DDs to 167 also but hasn't. With Springleaf MRT in future, the loading on 167/980 from Sembawang road to Springleaf is bound to double.

A22 fan SG

I only spotted 167/980 using bendies occasionally. Esp for the latter at sundays and public holidays..more a24s ans somtimes the classic O405Gs as well too.

carbikebus SG

I thought 167 do have DD cameo during peak hours

SMB1368T SG

Meh. All I ever see are always 966 crossover buses during those hours

SMB145B SG

855 got serve 1 bus stop at Thomson Rd.

After 851 & 852 kena kapo by SBST,I'm pretty sure they will increase frequency and put DDs on 167 & 980.

By the time we see full DDs on 167, it won't be SMRT or SBST but GAS.

By that time its already 2020.

Will some Toa payoh bus get the man DDs other than that 12.5 meter TT man

carbikebus SG

Will some Toa payoh bus get the man DDs other than that 12.5 meter TT man

Unless SBST takes more than 70 units
