Your [b]unnecessary money into upgrading a bigger "bus stopping" is actually a next-stop information system.

the problem of smrt not implementing more bus is because its 'terrority' is lesser than sbst.
look at the area sbst is controlling, and the new four service all operate form sbst terrority to sbst terrority. -
I think there is more demand for cross territories bus services.
Example is from the western area to ANG MO kio and T. Payoh.
Written to both companies,
SMRT's reply, no plan at the moment.
SBST's reply,
" Bt Panjang Town is under the purview of SMRT. Thus, much as we would like to, the suggested service must be supported by SMRT and the authorities in a similar way when SMRT wants to operate a service in our towns. In view of this, we do not have any immediate plans to introduce any new services to Bt Panjang at this moment. Nevertheless, we would continue to monitor requests for similar connection and reconsider when future opportunities arise. " -
hmm.. maybe in the form of 1-on-1 exchanges like 168/969, 161/965, 39/966. both sides must be willing.Originally posted by phillipC:I think there is more demand for cross territories bus services.

Reminds me of handover of SBS svcs of CCK to TIBS in 1999. Like TIBS handover Svc 864, 865 & 866 to SBS & SBS handover Svc 190 to TIBS.Originally posted by sinicker:hmm.. maybe in the form of 1-on-1 exchanges like 168/969, 161/965, 39/966. both sides must be willing. -
its interesting to note that, while TIBS took over so many of SBs services, SBS only took over TIBS 82 103 163 820 821 864 865 866, of which 82 103 163 820 821 belongs to SBS originally.
remaining 864 865 and 866, well, 864 was merged with 84, 865 was withdrawn, and 866 was renumbered and amended here and there.
103 was amended to cut short to serangoon and seletar camp
163 was amended to sengkang
820/821 > 378/379 was merged with 103
so in conclusion, those buses which TIBs gave to SBS was either withdrawn or amended, and save for 864/5/6, the rest had low ridership prior to SBS re-takeover -

I am waiting for SMRT to introduce new services to Changi Airport Cargo Complex preferbly from Woodlands via Sembawang . There had been remours that they planned a service there but let's wait and see what happens later.

Who cares..SBST's buses are no match for SMRT's MB buses with original Vogelsitze seats.
Heck the fancy stuff.I just want my airconditioning, bendy buses and sleep.The rest are distractions. -

1) like svc 59 it would provide a good connection between the north and CV
2) Complement svc 858. -

What would be your reason for SMRT to take over SbSt161 and 168?Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:As well as Svc 161 & 168 to SMRT!
Personally, I would rather SBST to take back SMRT106. With SMRT, many times I need to stand all the way from Holland V to Orchard. It seems SMRT 106 are less frequent than SBST106 or SBS111. -

Anyway, Woodlands is SMRT territory, so all svcs will be under SMRT. -
then, we hav to wait for the government to step in saying that SMRT "needs more services".Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:Just like the idea of SBST 171 handover to TIBS in 1995.

AFAIK, SBST on SMRT territory provide competition between two major public bus co.Originally posted by sinicker:then, we hav to wait for the government to step in saying that SMRT "needs more services". -
I think 169 should return to SBST control. In this way, YIS residents can get to see DDs rumbling down YIS Ave 2.
