  Can anyone help me check which is correct? In TL Bus Guide 2006, it says that 147A operates daily between 0600 and 1100 daily but in Bus Guide and Bus Stop Directory by Mighty Minds, it says that 147 A operates between 6.17 am to 8.13 am only.

  Did the transitlink version & mighty minds version state the same route for Svc 147A? Transitlink or mighty minds latest? Then u make a conclusion urself.

  Another point to add, which of these two guides are more accurate and reliable? The choice is yours and yours only..

  It is the other way round.
  
  123A from Bt Purmei to Tiong Bahru. Vice-versa for 123B.
  
  And these two SWTs are not new, they were introduced early this year.

  aiya.. so many short working trips for what? all so redundant..
  
  Many people see one SWT, scared to board it because they may not know when they will be "kicked" out of the bus.
  
  Another case is when a few SWT arrives consecutively together, making some people mad
  
  A common example is when the "additional" SWT actually takes over the time slot for the full parent trip, such as Sengkang 502A. say at 1100 is 502, then 1115 is 502A, then 1130 is 502 again.. make ppl wait 30mins for it.
  
  And, the SWT usually comes right behind the parent trip, so in the end no passengers because the parent trip had picked up al the passengers.
  
  and also, many SWT after terminating, ends up going back empty to depot or interchange.. wasting resources, unless they loop, like "98A"

  147A runs until 11am. Don't believe the mighty minds guide. That is not the official version.
