Hey there everyone.
Let me tell you why. Those indicated in CAPS LOCK + BOLD show why people prefer Service 190.
For Service 190, from Orchard to Bukit Panjang:
Orchard Boulevard, Scotts Road, Stevens Road, Whitley Road, PIE, BKE,
Bukit Panjang Road.
For Service 700, from Orchard to Bukit Panjang:
Orchard Boulevard, Scotts Road, BUKIT TIMAH ROAD, Whitley Road, PIE, BKE, DAIRY FARM ROAD, PETIR ROAD, PENDING ROAD, Bukit Panjang Road.
For Service 171, from Orchard to Bukit Panjang:
Orchard Boulevard, Scotts Road, BUKIT TIMAH ROAD, UPPER BUKIT TIMAH ROAD, Bukit Panjang Road, Jelebu Road, Petir Road, Pending Road, Bukit Panjang Road.
Tell me, with passengers demanding the faster route home possible, which one would you choose?
-
wow
u guys are realli well-informed -
Also, for the fact that service 190 has a much more better frequency than service 700/700A and 171. Naturally, most of them would prefer a service which has a shorter waiting time. =)
-
Service 190 has the best load ever , every morning packed to the brim , even 2-3 bendies like not enough
-
actually 700 also quite ok... maybe cause the frequency not as often and then everytime 190 reaches first to their bus stop so 190 lor
-
yes, 700 is not too bad, it's just that it is usually not the first bus to come that's why ppl usually take 190. if 700/700A comes, they will take it if they're headed for BP, unless they stay along bt panjang rd....
171 is a no-go..... -
Don't forget that service 190 continues on to CCK after Bt Panjang, that's why bound to have more passengers than service 700
Service 700 route at least not so bad, along Dairy Farm Rd / Petir Road only have 2 bus stops if I am not mistaken. The bus is still considered express
Agree to the extent that service 171 journey from Orchard to Bt Panjang is very slow. -
ive tested with 700 and 190...190 always reaches my destinated stop at bt panjang much earlier than 700.
with such high frequency of 190 buses, i would rather wait for 190 even when 700 arrives first. (normally no longer than 2 minutes)
171 is not meant for passengers travelling from orchard to bt panjang -
Yup , more for those who live along the Bukit Timah area'sOriginally posted by hegu:171 is not meant for passengers travelling from orchard to bt panjang -
ok let's see why:Originally posted by hegu:ive tested with 700 and 190...190 always reaches my destinated stop at bt panjang much earlier than 700.
- 190 usually speeds thru stevens rd as not many ppl will board/alight the bus from the bus stops there.
- 700 usually crawls thru scotts-bt timah-whitley area becos of several turns, traffic lights and stops at bus stops.
- 190 enters the expressway earlier and exits later than 700
- 190 takes the most direct route from bt panjang to orchard. ask any car owners living in bt panjang how they travel to orchard and they will surely say bke-pie-stevens
vice versa. -
main purposes of 171:Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:Yup , more for those who live along the Bukit Timah area's
- city to bt timah area
- bt timah area to bt panjang area
- bt panjang area to yishun area
(vice versa)
and oh...171's freq sucks.
i wanna complain! 
-
not forgetting the schools!!Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:Yup , more for those who live along the Bukit Timah area's
171 is the only bus to orchard tat passes by lots of schools (more then 174)..
correct me if im wrong! -
190 at cck already full liao sometimes....
if i am stayin at bukit panjang i will prefer 700 anytime cos at least mayBE hav a place to sit -
Yup , 190 from CCK Int also full , every morning Sv 190A also full with students..Originally posted by patdog112:190 at cck already full liao sometimes....

-190 High Frequency
-190,700 Uses Expressway
-190 High Frequency
-190 Reaches Expressway faster than 700 (Bt. Timah Rd, Petir Rd)
-171 Bad Frequency
-171,700 Bt. Timah Rd and Upp. Bt. Timah Rd has high number of traffic lights
-190 High Frequency! -
If I'm somewhere around Bras Basah or Middle Rd, I would rather walk to Stamford Road to take 190 than to take 960 along Victoria St or Rochor Rd, because 960 has a poor frequency. During peak hour, 960 often become full at Bugis and the bus skips the stops along Rochor Rd & Rochor Canal Rd. (The situation is the worst on Saturday and Sunday nights.)
