Great job guys, carry on to update with more information.
-
is yio chu kang terminal racks (next to the bus svcs board) always empty? I last time go there nothing.
-
Where is the rack? I have never seen before. I went there a few times.
-
It's not called rack. @ Yio chu kang terminal, there's this bus svc board (every int should have one). It's at the corner.

This would be good news to me. But I guess now they will have to change all those arrival timing on every bus stop.Originally posted by 105090: sv182 frequency improves to 14~22 minutes -
Today, I went to Buona Vista for joyriding.
I took service 191 for the first time.
The bus used were very old, very rickety, yet the fare is cheap.
Only one person (that is I myself) was onboard, until the bus was about to leave the Portsdown Road, then there were three workers boarded the bus.
When I was the only pax onboard, there were bunches of guides.
After I took a big bunch of them there were still many left.
So here is the photo of the service guide rack onboard the service 191 bus:

Last few weeks went Serangoon Int saw only 105 guidesOriginally posted by 28_29_293:wat abt punggol & serangoon int?
While Punggol Int have all the service guides -
means sv119, the service which sengkang residents firstly demanded but had since seen demand falling sharply, will be making the frequency worse then previous. when it was introduced, freq was at a maximum of ten minutes with many DDs. nowadays, its 10-14mins (but i always wait ~17mins) and only one DD. that explains.Originally posted by 28_29_293:wat u meant by the one in bold?
not too sure there, cos 14-22mins is a big range and say when a bus towards tuas goes to tuas South via Tuas Chkpt and the next bus dont, then frequency for bus stops after Tuas Chkpt may experience a slight drop. and maybe the opening of Hyflux plant in tuas influence this decision?Originally posted by PhyrePhox:This would be good news to me. But I guess now they will have to change all those arrival timing on every bus stop.
still, this is a really big improvement for sv182 -
I have a question:
Is the current batch of SBST guides (a.k.a. cokes) produced and published by K'ai Communications? -
Actually... what's the purpose of 182 going to Tuas Checkpoint when going towards Tuas south? It's not like it can pick up pessengers. And if it's for the staff in the checkpoint, don't they want to go towards Boon Lay instead of industrial Tuas?Originally posted by 105090:not too sure there, cos 14-22mins is a big range and say when a bus towards tuas goes to tuas South via Tuas Chkpt and the next bus dont, then frequency for bus stops after Tuas Chkpt may experience a slight drop. and maybe the opening of Hyflux plant in tuas influence this decision?

The SBST Guide (folded map), published in Sep 2004 is by K'ai Communications, not the SBST coke guide.Originally posted by SGEMP:I have a question:

Today (16/10), TIB876Y (912) has racks with 856 & 857 svc guides.
-
If then what about the coke indiv guides? Are they by different companies?Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:The SBST Guide (folded map), published in Sep 2004 is by K'ai Communications, not the SBST coke guide. -
SBST prints it themselvesOriginally posted by SGEMP:If then what about the coke indiv guides? Are they by different companies? -
If I am not wrong, Svc 926 guide is also available at Woodlands Int, you have to go to the General Enquiries office and ask for it.

I Would Like to REMIND all Forum MEmbers that PLs be considerate when you're out there doing any spotting or collecting any guides.. If theres a need to take the guides, a few would do.. Pls do NOT TAKE A BIG BUNCH.. such behaviour is irresponsible. What happens is theres a passenger onboard and dont know his/her way around.. ? Yes.. 191 might be a low demand services.. DONT AUSSUME that there will be no one who really need the guides.. AND.. PLs.. for those who like to take pictures.. I would like to stress that you NEVER use your FLASHLIGHT. By doing so, you are only trying to put the Driver in Danger..

Just wanna stress this few points.. By doing the Above mentioned, you are only trying to cast a bad light on BUs Enthusiasts In Singapore.. [/b] -
On my visit to Bedok Int today, the racks contain the svc 33, 35, 401, 506 and FFW 30e, while the rest are empty. (Coke version only)
