The lady was more unhappy abt students that have paid for aircon stamps gets mainly NAC fleetOriginally posted by Apex-LW'21:Nowadays, NAC buses are quite uncomfortable to most passengers, they prefer AC buses instead.
SBST should have convert Sv 151 to FAC status.
Quite unfair for students...Originally posted by sbst275:The lady was more unhappy abt students that have paid for aircon stamps gets mainly NAC fleet
In fact, Sv 151 was a FAC sv when it started
There are MK4 striders deployed on 151...Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:Quite unfair for students...
Buses used on Sv 151 consists of NAC & CAC fleet, could be Volvo B10M MK IIs, but the air-con are not very cold.
The lady also hope that SBST review the type of buses on certain routes, esp. Sv 151.Originally posted by sbst275:There are MK4 striders deployed on 151...
But 75% of the fleet is NAC
No No No...Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:The lady also hope that SBST review the type of buses on certain routes, esp. Sv 151.
It does notOriginally posted by Apex-LW'21:Another thing, telling commuters to get into the habit of knowing when the bus arrive does not solve the problem of overcrowded buses.
Is the statement true?
At least, SBST should deploy more buses on Sv 151. As Sv 151 becomes overloaded due to NUS & NP academic terms, other people that waiting at the bus stop will have to wait for the next bus to arrive.Originally posted by sbst275:It does not
Even svs like 151, even if the buses arrive on time, they are often overloaded esp when NUS and NP are in their academic terms
In fact, many other svs buses tend to avoid to be at the back of Sv 151 when it reaches any bus stops along Bt Timah Rd...Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:At least, SBST should deploy more buses on Sv 151.

Yup, at Clementi Rd, the polytechnic is just nearby, and the buses are likely to be overcrowded.Originally posted by sbst275:In fact, many other svs buses tend to avoid to be at the back of Sv 151 when it reaches any bus stops along Bt Timah Rd...
The worst is along Clementi Rd when passengers from SMRT svs makes their transfers
Is there any height restrictions for 151?Originally posted by sbst275:In fact, many other svs buses tend to avoid to be at the back of Sv 151 when it reaches any bus stops along Bt Timah Rd...
Not height but rather physical restriction at NUS... The slopeOriginally posted by SBS9889U:Is there any height restrictions for 151?
as steep as those in NTU?Originally posted by sbst275:Not height but rather physical restriction at NUS... The slope
179 only has 2 NAC buses though... with 2 more additional NAC buses in the moring peak.Originally posted by 105090:Polytechnic/ University dedicated buses are forever (majority) NAC.
eg 96 74, 151, 179. Hardly FAC
I would not comment as I have not seen the slope at NTIOriginally posted by samtlk:as steep as those in NTU?
Go take a joyride on sv179...its fun to see the LO3Xs go up & down the slopes (and the daredevil turnings by the BCs, esp at night)Originally posted by sbst275:I would not comment as I have not seen the slope at NTI
Now night not fun already... They've extended the timetable to 31min per round instead of 24min per round after 10.30.Originally posted by samtlk:Go take a joyride on sv179...its fun to see the LO3Xs go up & down the slopes (and the daredevil turnings by the BCs, esp at night)
