yup. they rather take 401 and take up the whole area at the back as a group than to take 196/197 and hav to separate themselves in the bus if seats are limited.Originally posted by gorby107:Most of them are Teenagers
which I saw last few weeks ago
Such as sv115, 119, and improved 136.Originally posted by sbst275:And anyway, whether is there a demand for add sv or not, it has to be launched 1st...
Passengers often ask for new links but when they are given, often demand is v low
401 was great when it terminates at Geylang Lorong 1. then it calls at many stops along EC park, now, the trip towards marine parade, 401 only calls at 6 stops along ECP before turning to Marine Parade Rd. very inconvenient.Originally posted by SBS9889U:I belief 401 needs more publicity and faster frequency.
From what i have observed since the shortening of 401 since 4 Dec 2004, there are very little or almost no pax boarding 401 along any stops(like Blk72/74, Parkway Parade) on Marine Parade Rd(after still rd south exit). However, there always seems to more passengers alighting from 401, even till the last bus(On Sunday), there are still passengers.
Maybe SBST should try something more daring to the route like extending its operation hours to be something like that of Parks409 as there wouldnt be much bus @ Marine Parade after 2400. This may be useful to the residents of Marine Parade/Bedok area.
the main points of ECP are bedok jetty, food centre, seafood centre, marine cove. further down, nothing much already..Originally posted by 105090:401 was great when it terminates at Geylang Lorong 1. then it calls at many stops along EC park, now, the trip towards marine parade, 401 only calls at 6 stops along ECP before turning to Marine Parade Rd. very inconvenient.
Why can't it be?Originally posted by SGEMP:How can this be?!
I do not know if these 6 stops are in a highly-demanded areas i.e. like those around the Big Splash?Originally posted by 105090:401 was great when it terminates at Geylang Lorong 1. then it calls at many stops along EC park, now, the trip towards marine parade, 401 only calls at 6 stops along ECP before turning to Marine Parade Rd. very inconvenient.
If svc 409 has poor demand after 12am, then I think 409 will end its operations before 12am daily.Originally posted by 28_29_293:so how's the svc? The bus empty between mn & 3am daily?
