  yeah lo... 74e and 151e is to serve Ngee Ann, SIM, Maju Camp, Singapore Poly (for 74) and NUS (for 151e)..
  
  its not really a service for working adults unless its lecturers and people like that..
  
  anyway, we students really hate 74 or 151 plying bt timah road.. theres to many bus stops, about 10-14 and the buses always have to stop for one passenger to board and alight.. waste of time!
  
  also, not much people alight along bt timah road, espeically so for 151, except the one near NIE and crown centre..

  Actually I feel that this is precisely a services for working adults. Students and even NSFs use concession stamps, so most probably they will not take such services unless they too much money to spend liaoz.

  Dont understand why this service is serving some stops along Clementi Road instead of making them express sector.

  It doesnt make a difference during morning peak hours as Clementi Rd southbound is jammed. So might as well call at those bus stops along the way.

  I think by today's standard most NSF/Students don't mind fork out a bit to save journey time right?

  I'm holding bus concession. So I would rather wake up earlier to catch a normal service to save money.... If I take FFW, I have to spend an additional $2 per trip, compared to $0 for a normal service... (I will only take FFW if I woke up late or I'm in a hurry...)

  I hope that the normal 151 will retain the same frequency during peak hours after 151e is introduced... After all, most of the passengers who squeeze onto the normal 151 are students... (It would be stupid to introduce 151e, make the frequency of normal 151 longer, and force students to either wait longer for normal 151 or spend more money to take 151e.)

  Maybe a few times is fine, but then no students/NSFs with concession would want to do this in the long run because it will be like double paying as their concession pass already sort of like contains the bus ride already. So why should they pay again and at a higher price?

  Surely they will change the timing of the normal 151 to longer frequency during those periods.. they wan to earn $$ la. or take till adjunied and change to bus 62.

  I think the buses might operate 151A bef operating 151e in the afternoon peak... As again for 2nd day, very few NAC buses spotted

  if 154e goes straight to clementi rd, it'll make a lot of difference in terms of time savings......

  I think SAJC can skip for the proposed 154e.. But AM peak I feel should be BNL - ENS

  The new 151e will be handy for me. At least there's one extra option at KAP.

  Same fares with express service? I take express 502 frequently from Suntec to
  Jurong West and the total trip cost me about $2.18.

  i think that both ffw services might be controlled by BBDEP coz BBDEP has some buses that just suit for 151e (eg 742T , 751S , 1956L , 1957J , 1998R) this is what i know so far for 151 , feel free to give in some more info or correct me for the AC buses of 151 by BBDEP.
  
  74e i rather it to be controlled by HGDEP coz the AC buses at BBDEP are mostly DDs unless they are going to deploy DDs. From BBDEP , those buses that suit 74e are 1930K , 1950C , 2650L , 2654B , 2778C & 2783L unless tey are willing to let JB buses serving them. From HGDEP there is 888G , 1973L. Others i am not tooo sure.
