  Nope... There has been no awareness of such Scheme B rts... Even if they wanna take, are the buses there? And, those passengers who know the bus, they are expected to know the ETD of the sv esp if there are only 1 bus, like 641... It leaves Shenton Way at abt 1710

  Wonder why the opertors didn't publish guides and display route information at bus stops. Not many passengers know where the buses ply to.

  yeah even some bus stops also have no plates to inform commuters of their presence. some stickers of the services are also peeling off. ppl dont know anything at all

  No wonder!!! Once I was waiting for a bus at Marine Parade during peak hours when... ... a PTE coach full of people arrive at the bus stop. At the sides of the bus said " Scheme B Service 642 " At that time I don't know where 642 plays and there is no plates at the bus stand to inform its presence but it still lets people to board and alight the bus. I was .
