Something like a huge version of 410Originally posted by Kheng Peng:i think is 123
from bukit merah to bukit purmei avenue via queensway, holland road, napier road, orchard road, havelock road, tiong bahru plaza, lower delta road and then bukit purmei avenue , but ridership is good. Maybe should cut off the part from Clemenceau Ave and extend it somewhere else. -
yes, 123 is an interesting route

i will ask you guys to go read up a 1972 street directory. finds the route details of service 182 then under one of the 3 bus joined compnies. then i will argue the fact that , that version of 182 is really... mad

182 EWRT CIRCUS - JURONG IND EST
via dunearn road, scotts rd, orcahrd rd , chaintown, kg bhru road, telok blanagh road, AYE, jurong ind est.
now tell me why cnt 182 juz go CCK rd nd go old jrg rd then jurong ind est of them 1972 roads?

how about feeder 315 and 317?? a bit confusing at Serangoon Garden bus-stop weather which one go to Int and which one go eg. North Ave 1

There is a small card infront that indicates the direction the bus is heading..Originally posted by bus555:how about feeder 315 and 317?? a bit confusing at Serangoon Garden bus-stop weather which one go to Int and which one go eg. North Ave 1 -
Service 123 and service 275: Both from Bukit Merah looping at Bukit Purmei AveOriginally posted by ^tamago^:yes, 123 is an interesting route -
Service 859 travelling along Sembawang Vista can be very confusing...the bus turns out from there, loop around Sembawang new town and back along Sembawang Vista again and continue to Yishun interchange...Originally posted by Yaimster:859

Let me throw in Parks408 and Parks409, as well as routes 36 and 925 - all four actually enter carparks along their routes. Additionally, route 36 is weird for another thing - being the only "infinite loop" bus route in Singapore .
But my votes still go to extreme circuitous routes, like 859 (WTF?!) and 123 (oh shi...), along with Express 518 (one gigantic loop from PIE, down Orchard Road, through Suntec, up east along ECP, and finally closing the loop at Bedok ), and the ones above.
Routes 5, 45, 175, and 185 are also rather weird - 45 and 185 ending at bus depots at one side, and routes 5 and 175 seemingly loving to cut through "small alleyways" rather than use the main corridors. -
How about service 927 in the past?? It only travels from the zoo out to Mandai Road and then U-turn back to zoo again. That was the days before service 927 was extended to CCK int in early 1997

Super windy and hilly route...173.

Its like svc 60, only that 315 and 317 doesn't use so big card.Originally posted by sBs_boy:There is a small card infront that indicates the direction the bus is heading..
The card is really a card, not the kind like desto on svc 60.
This is 60.

188 also. other than the 2 origins, it does not serve MRT stations at all but links up all the neighbourhoods.Originally posted by eX.A.K.R.:Routes 5, 45, 175, and 185 are also rather weird - 45 and 185 ending at bus depots at one side, and routes 5 and 175 seemingly loving to cut through "small alleyways" rather than use the main corridors. -
Like that 73 is worse. They dont even put placards at the front. =D.Originally posted by bus555:how about feeder 315 and 317?? a bit confusing at Serangoon Garden bus-stop weather which one go to Int and which one go eg. North Ave 1 -
They've desto, should be able to tell, different colour also.Originally posted by Yaimster:Like that 73 is worse. They dont even put placards at the front. =D.
This is the one which goes back to AMK.

Reason is very simple.. 315 and 317 have only 1 side of the desto being used. While 73 / 136, you could just refer to the side desto for the direction that you are intend to travel to.Originally posted by Yaimster:Like that 73 is worse. They dont even put placards at the front. =D. -
but may be confusing for laymen. esp those who are not regular pax. i'd suggested to SBST to put up bus-stop plates as a guide to inform pax to take note of the bi-directional svcs, the destos to look out for, but seemed to fall on deaf ears.Originally posted by sBs_boy:Reason is very simple.. 315 and 317 have only 1 side of the desto being used.

theres such an arrangement for 170 at Woodlands CentreOriginally posted by SBS3688Y:but may be confusing for laymen. esp those who are not regular pax. i'd suggested to SBST to put up bus-stop plates as a guide to inform pax to take note of the bi-directional svcs, the destos to look out for, but seemed to fall on deaf ears.
but perhaps those passengers at serangoon gardens are regulars, so not a big problem -
Then might as well say the services that ply St Michael's Est. are even worse, but all of these services have different coloured destos like what ngjy22 has shown.Originally posted by Yaimster:Like that 73 is worse. They dont even put placards at the front. =D. -
Well , To Teck Whye board at the Central Stop opp the MRT Stn , to Yew tee can board either at CCK Int or Lot 1 bus stopOriginally posted by hiphop2009:307 also

Last time, they used to have different colours, so quite easy to tell. Now the colours the same, I almost took the wrong bus. Same for 136.
For buses around Serangoon Garden, it actually doesn't matter so much. Their routes are pretty short, you just have to take from one end to the other end and back. At the most pay more...
