-
To those that wanna flame around here, you said "we"
I think you dun even know who is Dairy Farm's parent co and what it does... I know you are searching now
It's parent co to C&C and Jardine Shipping Agency, as well as Dairy Farm who has supermarkets at Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, Singapore & Malaysia as well as Manning (Here is called Guardian) -
Erm... If they wanted to use BN, they would have chose to put IKEA ads on BN buses then...Originally posted by lemon1974:cos these 9 buses are painted with IKEA's advertisement. There is no bus from BNDEP, with Ikea advertisement..
But since they are used on sat, Sun, public holidays, there shouldn't be shortage of buses.

This will depend on IKEA.... They can choose which service they want to advertise their ad on...Originally posted by stooper:Erm... If they wanted to use BN, they would have chose to put IKEA ads on BN buses then... -
well let's just say they didnt want it on a 33 Scania.

This could be a great piece of news who doesn't own a car but wants to visit IKEA...According to the IKEA Singapore website, they stated that the free weekend shuttle service will continue after 4 June 2006, with some slight changes in the schedule.
So do remember to check the IKEA Singapore webpage again in early June for the new schedule

Hop on for a free weekend ride to the IKEA store from 6 MRT stations from now till 2 July 2006 (weekends and public holidays only.) Do arrive before departure time to board the buses. -
SMRT Bus spotted with IKEA ad, does this mean that the new ikea shuttle will be under SMRT?
BTW, SBS Transit's contract ends on 2 July aka tommorow. -

Wonder how would SMRT cope... Svs with shortage of buses on major rts cannot be bothered wanna take the likely more profitable shuttles -
I've taken that Tampines shuttle twice & the rego of that shuttle was SBS834L...Luckily not the deadly ades mosquitos or I wouldn't dare think what the outcome would be like...lots of them located at the rearOriginally posted by brotherchen1982:Remember there was an forum article complaining about mosquitos inside IKEA - Tampines shuttle.

Hmm, I think it could be just an ad only but not shuttles buses & as sbst275 mentioned, SMRT not enough buses unless perhaps they could use the PA LanceOriginally posted by SBS9889U:SMRT Bus spotted with IKEA ad, does this mean that the new ikea shuttle will be under SMRT?

If this is the case, SMRT only need to supply 3 buses. -
