why no evening return trip?
-
Only 1 trip
Wonder wat bus will they use? -
Pardon me, but I feel that it wouldn't really do much of a help. For example if I take the bus from Clementi Ave 2, for service 532, would I be sure that there will be empty seats? Take it as the last stop before the express sector. There would be times when more people will take the bus, and there is only one on the service.
Any bus I also don't mind lah, its just the comfortable factor and timing... -
Actually 538, 539, 544 and 545 could call at International Plaza. It is not a safety issue, really, to turn to Robinsons Rd from there.

I cannot believe that Service 542 skips the only bus stop at 28519 Blk 425 Jurong West Ave 1 where the load is supposed to be the heaviest.
-
That;s the whole point. They want everyone that boards the bus to have a seat.Originally posted by fmradio:I cannot believe that Service 542 skips the only bus stop at 28519 Blk 425 Jurong West Ave 1 where the load is supposed to be the heaviest.
You pay 3 bucks for a seat why not? Can sleep on the way to work somemore
High chance Volvo SDs will be operated. None of the Mk4s varients have standing area. Unless they use ComDel's private bus which is totally not in line with PTC requirements. -
hmm 1 bus only per day? so people from that bus stop will start to walk to others before and after, what difference does it make by skipping that bus stop
or take the good old 198 and 97e. -
u cut at least half the time with the new service. 198 - 97e is in fact more expensive than the new service. cutting journey time during morning peak means people can wake up laterOriginally posted by fmradio:hmm 1 bus only per day? so people from that bus stop will start to walk to others before and after, what difference does it make by skipping that bus stop or take the good old 198 and 97e.

534 is a lot similar to the former 501..
are the premium services subjected to "duplication with MRT" regulations? -
I think they should be, but I can't be sure. Actually, I agree with you on your first point. If SBST wants to introduce this service, why didn't they cut 501 to AMK during the duplication?Originally posted by 105090:534 is a lot similar to the former 501..

Could it be....Originally posted by choww:Only 1 trip Wonder wat bus will they use?
the new Scanias? -
I thought any operator can operate these premium services?
-
Note that these premium bus services will have crossovers. For example 540 to 51, since 51 drivers (at least for hg part) were told to go for the learning of the 540 route.

How come Jurong area got 5 premium service then Tampines 0 service
-
Ask SBST or garment. Maybe garment give to another company already.Originally posted by SBS9889U:How come Jurong area got 5 premium service then Tampines 0 service -
How come no one grumbling about this niche service?
When SMRT intro Teacher's estate you guys make big fuss. HAHA. Hilarious.
But these premium svc seriously only one trip per day?
Sheesh.... -
Like what?Originally posted by service_238:Unless they use ComDel's private bus which is totally not in line with PTC requirements. -
smrt need some too
-
erm width of entrance and exit doors is less than 1.2m for comdel bus or sioemthing like thatOriginally posted by stooper:Like what? -
Some buses or premium services?Originally posted by patdog112:smrt need some too
If premium services, I believe these will help a fair bit:
Choa Chu Kang to Shenton Way District (routing in CCK up to you), may x2, one to cover CCK Crescent and the Yew Tee area, the other for Central?
Bukit Panjang to Shenton Way District (routing in BPJ up to you)
Woodlands to Shenton Way District (routing in WDL up to you), may x2.
Bukit Batok to Shenton Way District (routing in BBT up to you), may x2. (one straight from BBT West Avenue 3 --> Central --> East Avenue 3 --> EXPRESS, the other from Bukit Gombak area?)
Yishun to Shenton Way District (not sure about this area. Haha) -
Wonder why sbst never name them as Shenton Way Direct (SWD)?
-
