my most memorable bus ride got to be the bus no. 170 from Bukit Panjang area to the causeway then again from causeway to johor. been taking this ride bus ever since i was a very small kid. now the surrounding area at bukit panjang all change liao.

Remembered the days taking SBS 171 to Zoo
-
I remember taking 901(currently 911) to causeway, esp when at earlier times the former Woodlands Int was near causeway and the shophouses and market were always bustling and the old svcs 901, 902(now 912), 903, 904, 905 were always packed.
Ah well, why think of this now, it is sad because I will never be able to relieve my childhood as this place has now turned into a ghost town. -
many yrs ago when me n my ex took a bus which travels over the ben shears bridge.. coz me like the scenery there

Hmm, i will never forget this bus ride.
2 years + Back, when i was taking 98 DD from JE. Me and my friend were on the upper deck, and the entire DD was empty except for us.
Then comes a malay couple, with the girl leading the guy by the hand, practically running towards for the back of the bus. I was puzzled, most people would want to run OUT, and not INto the bus right?
So i looked at them. And it was there i got quite a shock. The girl was adjusting her long dress, (didn't think too much about this), and then i looked away for a while to chat with my friend, (he was facing the front, i was at the seat infront of him, turning back), and when i looked back, the girl was sitting on the guy, and then standing up the next moment (repeat x10).
I was like wtf? Looked for a while more, and than told my friend about it. The malay guy had a bochup look on his face too. (maybe trying to act cool or something.) The girl just look at us, and looked away. They were about 16-18 i guess.
T'was a pity i had to alight just about now, i alighted, and looked up. They were still going at it, but as it was a cold night, the fog was blocking the windows.
What an experience i'll never forget~ -
Those days many JB ppl come to SG to shop simply because things here were much cheaper in 1980'sOriginally posted by SBS3624G:I remember taking 901(currently 911) to causeway, esp when at earlier times the former Woodlands Int was near causeway and the shophouses and market were always bustling and the old svcs 901, 902(now 912), 903, 904, 905 were always packed.

Johor Govt going broke because of building huge investment to complete with SG -
Complete? I thinks its compete, right? Anyway I think it makes more sense to invest even more money for pots like Pasir Gudang.Originally posted by sbst275:You know why? It is the traders that gets the RM..

But Pasir Gudang Container Operations will move to PTP to make the latter more volumes as it has not been able to attract more customers... They are more very desperate to get 1Originally posted by SBS3624G:Complete? I thinks its compete, right? AnywayI think it makes more sense to invest even more money for pots like Pasir Gudang. -
I think Johore got too many ports, every 50km, got port! So it makes sense to merge, but I think if the money can be used to subsidise fees, it might work better, we must also not forget Malaysia has a large pool of cheap labour, so if everything goes cheap, we lose.Originally posted by sbst275:But Pasir Gudang Container Operations will move to PTP to make the latter more volumes as it has not been able to attract more customers...

True, then it has too be that the state govt spends too much on JB.Originally posted by sbst275:Ya... But then, services provided matters as well... -
They have neglected the bus services... Only just thinking of competing with us and neglected their pplOriginally posted by SBS3624G:True, then it has too be that the state govt spends too much on JB. -
Oho, I see what you mean, their shopping centres are so nice and their buses so dirty. Actually, the state govt should do itself a favour by making bus svcs better to attract even those who dun have cars.Originally posted by sbst275:They have neglected the bus services...
