I think 854 and 25 are the best of the best professional duplicators.....1st, they duplicate each other for quite a long distance....2nd, they have been doing this for almost 2 decades without any amendments.....WOW

Both are profitable.Originally posted by bendy2003:I think 854 and 25 are the best of the best professional duplicators.....1st, they duplicate each other for quite a long distance....2nd, they have been doing this for almost 2 decades without any amendments.....WOW -
same for sv227 and sv17.. 100% duplicated..
sv25 got its loads from AMK MRT to HG ave 3, Eunos
sv854 loads from Yishun to HG ave 3, eunos..
pity 854 dont stop at YCK MRT.. -
Actually SV 55 also duplicate SV 25 for most of the route from AMK Ave 3 to Eunos MRT. So it is 2 SBST services fight against 1 SMRT ServiceOriginally posted by bendy2003:I think 854 and 25 are the best of the best professional duplicators.....1st, they duplicate each other for quite a long distance....2nd, they have been doing this for almost 2 decades without any amendments.....WOW -
Is that why 55 must have VSOs too? In order to "race" with 854 Habit buses?Originally posted by lemon1974:Actually SV 55 also duplicate SV 25 for most of the route from AMK Ave 3 to Eunos MRT. So it is 2 SBST services fight against 1 SMRT Service -
i really dont understand the significance of VSO, just that they are new, low floor and are DDs. for the start.
Most passengers if going to the AMK ave 3/ HG ave 3/Eunos route, will choose sv25 at AMK over sv55 from bishan. higher fares and high loads are the deterring factor of sv55.. it was only a few years ago that sv55 got DDs. -
Why higher fares? Isn't the route the same from Jln Eunos up to AMK Ave 10?Originally posted by Townlink 268:i really dont understand the significance of VSO, just that they are new, low floor and are DDs. for the start.

I prefer 854, based on experience, i was at AMK 3 heading towards Bedok Int. It was either 25 or 854.Originally posted by lemon1974:Actually SV 55 also duplicate SV 25 for most of the route from AMK Ave 3 to Eunos MRT. So it is 2 SBST services fight against 1 SMRT Service
25 came first yet i skipped it and waited for 854
(its a clear i'm a tibs fan-happened when 854 was tibs)
854 came few minutes later. i boarded it and it soon over took da VO3x 25....so 854 is faster loh.....in my opinion....dun fight over wat i said.
