JIS, Mk2s on 151, VO2xes on 154 or 3899E. Or go airport walk around.Originally posted by choww:Any "special" services or buses to recommend? I'm getting abit board cos of holidays

I'm currently spotting xovers... If you are interested can PM me for timings... and since you live in toa payoh its good to take advantage of your locality to get to places as early as possible.Originally posted by choww:Any "special" services or buses to recommend? I'm getting abit board cos of holidays
If you are not into supplementary services... try the 174e, 502A, 536, 538, 539 express sector. If prefer B9 on expressway try 543 or 545. -
Can take 179 in later AM peak, 8.30am - 9.30am. At that point, the DDs would have only half seats filled. If pro BC, will chiong like crazy, can get 5 or 6 buses bunching.Originally posted by choww:Any "special" services or buses to recommend? I'm getting abit board cos of holidays
Don't take before or after that period, will have lots of people.
PM peak, should try the period 16.30 to 16.50. At that point, also not many people. -
Can someone explain to me about the pass which allows you to take photos of buses during a set period in interchanges? Must I write in a formal letter to SBS Transit in order to get the pass?

Answer is no.. They would not issue the pass to you even if you write in.Originally posted by TWS4793:Can someone explain to me about the pass which allows you to take photos of buses during a set period in interchanges? Must I write in a formal letter to SBS Transit in order to get the pass? -
Only foreigners are allowed to get these passes, provided they write in to SBS Transit?Originally posted by sBs_boy:Answer is no.. They would not issue the pass to you even if you write in. -
Why not? They would if he has a valid reason. If not, why does some TS (not treadstarterOriginally posted by sBs_boy:Answer is no.. They would not issue the pass to you even if you write in. ) ask bus fans to write in to SBS Transit / SMRT (respecitively) when they ask their permission to take photos in interchanges. 
--------------------------------------
You must write in to seek their permission WITH a valid reason*. Only then, will they even consider giving you permission to photograph in the interchange.
*I dont think bus spotting as a hooby is a valid reason. I could be wrong. -
The thing is you are not a foreigner and I dont understand why you want to get the pass when some of us here may have conflict with the driver/green guy but eventually didnt even write in to ask for permission in the first place?Originally posted by TWS4793:Only foreigners are allowed to get these passes, provided they write in to SBS Transit? -
Hello, I'm asking 'what if' so that I know roughly how the procedure is carried out.Originally posted by service_238:The thing is you are not a foreigner and I dont understand why you want to get the pass when some of us here may have conflict with the driver/green guy but eventually didnt even write in to ask for permission in the first place? -

Thats right. have u seen the recent show Gurmit Singh & Fann Wong "Just Follow Law"?Originally posted by sBs_boy:Answer is no.. They would not issue the pass to you even if you write in.
in the show, email they say cc means "cover car-chng", bcc means "better cover car-chng". That's the typical Singapore style! They will want to "cc" or "bcc" themselves! They will forever NOT grant us permission to photograph buses in bus interchanges & MRT stations la! -
