NEW TRANSITLINK GUIDE 2006 FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORT COMMUTERS -
I wish to ask whether which guide is better between the Mighty Mind Bus Guide or the Transitlink Bus Guide.Originally posted by CAIX:The Mighty Mind Version 2005 of the bus guide has been released on 1st October 2005. Same cost, $3.50, nothing new, just added some new services. I can say that the Mighty Mind Bus Guide is a Copycat version of the Transitlink Guide.
One gd thing about Mighty Mind Bus Guide is that there are bus services labelled at each bus stops. So, one knows exactly which are the buses plying on each service. But Transitlink Bus Guide is more detailed about fares be it adult fares or concession fares or stamps. -
Does the TL Guide contain the list of Bus Stop Code Nos.?
(eg. Hougang South Int: 63009, Jln Boon Lay - Blk 695C: 21361) -
Mighty Minds has TNC-operated services inside (I.e, Jurong Island Services). TL guide stopped publishing them after SBST withdrew them.Originally posted by tanjun:I wish to ask whether which guide is better between the Mighty Mind Bus Guide or the Transitlink Bus Guide.

In my transitlink bus guide, they contain only the road name and the landmark and fare stages. But I quite like the colours being used in TL Guides. Mighty Minds Guides doesn't utilise much colours. Maybe I buy both guides. Then no need to think so hard of choosing. Heheh!!!Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:Does the TL Guide contain the list of Bus Stop Code Nos.?

I hope one day Mighty Minds also include Scheme B bus routes.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:Bus-Plus Svcs also have in the Mighty Minds Bus Guide -
I also hope that Mighty Minds will list up the EB & WT routes. (eg. EB88 & WTOriginally posted by SBS3688Y:I hope one day Mighty Minds also include Scheme B bus routes.

Impossible. They are not services which you, the ordinary commuter, can take.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:I also hope that Mighty Minds will list up the EB & WT routes. (eg. EB88 & WT -
It is "Mighty Minds Singapore BUS GUIDE & BUS-STOP DIRECTORY NEW 2006 EDITION"Originally posted by CAIX:The Mighty Mind Version 2005 of the bus guide has been released on 1st October 2005. Same cost, $3.50, nothing new, just added some new services. I can say that the Mighty Mind Bus Guide is a Copycat version of the Transitlink Guide.
I purchased my copy of this yesterday night at Books Kinokuniya (Ngee Ann City) at the cost of $3.90.
Take note of the significant changes:
1) Service 2 had its first bus timings from City changed (earlier by 1 mins)
2) 97e, 174e are included.
3) Svc 125A is removed.
4) Mistakes found in the service 225 guide: all the first and last bus timings are printed wrongly.
5) Service 170# (the blue plate svc from Kranji MRT<>JB Kota Raya 2) included but as (Queen Street<>JB Kota Raya 2)
6) Extended version of 925C included
7) BP 540 is removed. (Is it withdrawn and if yes then when it was withdrawn for what reasons?) TNC 714 disappeared from the 2006 version of the guide. I suspected that it was merged with 715 given the 715 had "added stops" including Jurong East interchange. (When and why this occur?)
More to come... -
BTW, 3 new SBST services will be introduced on 23 Oct. (SVC 43, 52 & 59). As the TL guide 2006 has been released, does the TL guide contains the 3 new svc information?

What does the new TL guide say about 159? Is it listed as bi-directional or loop service?

It is listed as bi-directional service.Originally posted by iveco:What does the new TL guide say about 159? Is it listed as bi-directional or loop service? -
What about 965?Originally posted by 5454:It is listed as bi-directional service. -
I am getting the Transitlink Guide tomorrow.

EB and WT will never be printed.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:Scheme B, EB & WT svc also not inside. About how many pages?
Scheme B is excluded.
There are 477 pages
The TL guide is better, cheaper, reliable and they both have got the same size.
400,401 and 403 are labelled as Parks services with the exception of 405...
Townlink are not labelled anymore
Intratown is still labelled
Its an excellent guide....slightly better than TL 2004 -
Svc 926 route details are wrong. It indicated svc 900 route details instead.

Yeah, only services for public riding will ever be considered for inclusion.Originally posted by muziq bus:EB and WT will never be printed.
... which is labelled as Graves service?Originally posted by muziq bus:Scheme B is excluded.

I bought it today and also spotted the mistake. I went to tell the staff about it which she call the main office and chatted about it. After that she told me that they will look into the matter first and decide on what to do later.Originally posted by foxtrot1985:Svc 926 route details are wrong.

TL Guide 2006 is the best, with thread-binding, you don't have to worry about the pages falling off from the TL guide.

I fear that labelling service 405 as "graves service" is too discriminatory for the service 405.Originally posted by kc_leung:
