IMF Bus Depolyments
-
IMHO, i think they want to fill the delegates with the impression of Singapore being a rich (and expensive country). Look at the MKIIIs deployed and you will know. All western Volvo Buses.Originally posted by SBS9828X:why must be bank ad? world bank and IMF got to do with our banks meh? -
Yesterday morning I waited so long for my 105 (never appear!) and then evening peak hours, 502 never appear at all!!!! -
Anyone knew the routes of these buses?

All you need to know about the IMF/WB Meetings Shuttle Bus Services.
All participating hotels which are providing lodging for the IMF/WB delegates are divided into 4 clusters, namely Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue.
Each cluster is further divided into sub-clusters, which are each allocated a shuttle bus service between the hotels in the sub-cluster and Suntec City. These buses are numbered by their cluster letter followed by their sub-cluster number, e.g. R1, Y2, B3, G4, etc. The desto shows 'Suntec'.
Also, each cluster has 2 shuttle bus services between certain hotels in the cluster and City Hall (Registration Centre). These buses are numbered as such, A & B (Red), C & D (Yellow), E & F (Green), and G & H (Blue). The desto shows 'Registration'.

"All you need to know about Service 36 at Temasek Ave"
By SBS9889U
Basically, Sv36 does not stop at the bus stop that Sv107 serves BUT serves the original Carrefour bus stop(Opp Centennial Twr) in direction going towards Tomlinson Rd/Orchard and the direction towards Marine Parade/Changi Airport. There is no form of indication whether a bus is heading to Marine Parade or Orchard hence most BCs would tell you where the bus is going or ask you where you are going.
In order to find out about which bus is going where yourself, from the bus stop Opp Centennial Twr(Or something spelt like that), look out for any Sv36 buses from opposite. If one Sv36 bus appears opposite you, the same bus would bring you to Marine Parade or Airport but if the bus just appear coming from Suntec, then it is going to Orchard.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today one of the Sv36 BCs waited for like 4 person to board the bus first then shout "Marine Parade hor?"

the city bound 36 appears more crowded then the Changi Airport bound one

That's more of morning or afternoon. At night very easy to recorgnize. At night the Sv36 that skips that stop or very packed is to Changi Airport. The more or less emptier one is to OrchardOriginally posted by 105090:the city bound 36 appears more crowded then the Changi Airport bound one -
