Howcome can this happen?! Is it because to channel away the crowd efficiently?Originally posted by ah-soh:during off peak hours how do we determine whether the sbst 98 bus goes to jurong port road since both 98A n alternative trips of 98 will loop at taman jurong - - jln ahmad ibrahim instead. -

The bus displays a sign that says "LOOP AT JALAN AHMAD IBRAHIM".

Isn't SWT 98A = alternative trips of service 98?Originally posted by ah-soh:during off peak hours how do we determine whether the sbst 98 bus goes to jurong port road since both 98A n alternative trips of 98 will loop at taman jurong - - jln ahmad ibrahim instead. -
noOriginally posted by tranquilice:Isn't SWT 98A = alternative trips of service 98?
SWT 98A terminates at Corporation Rd (One-directional)
The alternative trips will duplicate sv240 at Jln Ahmad Ibrahim & loops back to Jurong East Int. -
SWT 98 has plares on the side looking like this:
Jurong East Int -> Corporation Road -> Jurong East Int
sometimes can have 2 or 3 consecutive 98A then have a original 98 (full route)
the normal 98 has red and white side plates to facilitate the Jln Tepong area.
info is taken quite a while ago. -

So does 98A terminate at Corporation Rd or loop back to Jurong East?Originally posted by 105090:SWT 98 has plares on the side looking like this:

98A terminates at Corporation Rd.Originally posted by tranquilice:So does 98A terminate at Corporation Rd or loop back to Jurong East?
The service that loops back to Jurong East will display the usual 98 front desto. -

The bus changes desto if I am not wrong -
not at Corporation Rd. 98A goes off service at Corporation Rd. Last time the BC will turn into the old Jurong buspark, but now I only saw them go straight up Jurong Port Rd.Originally posted by sbst275:No it does not

But still, it is sort of loop back right? Instead of empty bus back to Jurong EastOriginally posted by samtlk:not at Corporation Rd. 98A goes off service at Corporation Rd. Last time the BC will turn into the old Jurong buspark, but now I only saw them go straight up Jurong Port Rd. -
okay. 98 is confusing. will nvr evr take it.
-
well..if you're not going to Jurong Port Rd, eg only going from MRT to Taman Jurong, any bus also can take. Only those who needs to go to Jurong Port Rd have to take note of the destos.Originally posted by sinicker:okay. 98 is confusing. will nvr evr take it. -
not necessary. AFAIK some buses go back empty via AYE, Jurong Town Hall Rd, while some go back to SLBP.Originally posted by sbst275:But still, it is sort of loop back right? Instead of empty bus back to Jurong East -
theres some flexibility on 98A. as mentioned, may change plates to normal 98, may return to depot or interchange or labelled 98A and loop back to jurong int on revenue.
i took a 98A towards Jurong Int before last year.. not sure bout the politics now.
theres many ppl to/from jurong east to jurong east/west ave 1 and up to corporation road, hence needs more buses. lesser ppl goes to jurong port, so theres many 98A than 98 -
The looping service is 98 & not 98A
-
if that's the case why do i see 98A on revenue service TOWARDS jurong east?Originally posted by samtlk:The looping service is 98 & not 98A -
I saw it too...the same case as 92A(off topic)(not so sure bout now though)Originally posted by service_238:if that's the case why do i see 98A on revenue service TOWARDS jurong east?
98A sometimes travel both directions... -
To know whether 98A terminates at Corporation Rd or loops back to Jurong East, all we need to do is to look what is written on the 98A bus stop plates along the route. This should be accurate unless SBST didn't update the bus stop plates.
-
If 98A does not loop back to Jurong East Int then can we sue SBST for placing false information on their 98A side destos?
-
I went to check the 98A bus stop plate outside Lakeside MRT station just now. It indicates that 98A: Jurong East
Corporation Rd (Corporation Place) Jurong East (ie. 98A is a loop SWT). -
which means there's only 2 types of trips instead of 3 last time.
The info board at JE Int shows only:
Short trips, Service 98A, operate from Jurong East Interchcange to Corporation Rd (Corporation Place).
without the alternate trips thing.
The side desto of 98A shows:
Jurong East Int Corporation Rd (Corporation Place) Jurong East Int
One thing to take note though, 98A does not call at the bus stop along Jln Ahmad Ibrahim. -
Does 98A call at the stop along Yung Ho Rd opp NTUC Lifestyle Centre?Originally posted by samtlk:One thing to take note though, 98A does not call at the bus stop along Jln Ahmad Ibrahim. -
No. It will go express along Jln Ahmad Ibrahim & Yung Ho Rd on the return trip & start picking up passengers at the first stop along Corporation Drive. This is the info I got from 1 of the BCs.
