Favourites
1)Bedok Int,Many services and BCs from diff depots gather,Tons of Hawker centre.
2)Boon Lay Int,Old time fav,Should let Hgdep services end there also IMO,Jurong Point is my fav hangout with my family.Got numbers of BC friends there.
3)Bukit Merah Int,Nostalgic for me,The only Int without the nearest MRT Station reminds me of the early 80s.One of the very best Timekeepers there!
4)Bt Panjang Int,Unique int.My fav service 700 is there.
5)Buona Vista Ter,Well for me having to learn S32 last time while it was under HGdep,Quite friendly staff there got there.
6)Changi Village Ter,No worries about parking and eating,Except for some inconsiderate illegal parking motorist who leave their bloody cars just infront of the boarding/alighting areas!
7)Choa Chu Kang Int,One of my fav SMRT bus Int.Can see Hinos very easily.
Ghim Moh Ter,My fav chin chow drink stall is there during the times where i drive service 100.Unique 3 pt turn after the alighting area.
9)Harbourfront Int,Very interesting to see SBST/SMRT/Sentosa and private buses parking together!Foods is heaven there!
10)Jurong East Int,Spacious Int,Best bus services,JI & cross border service,What more can i ask?
11)Kent Ridge Ter,Peaceful ter for BC at least,But food is the minus point.But i still rate as one of my fav.
12)New Bridge Rd Ter,Having drive S2 before this is one of the best ter i've ever been,The Timekeeper doesn't care if you are early or not.
13)Sembawang Int,Simple int but needs at least 2 more services,Quite redundant to just having 5 services there for an Interchange.
14)Serangoon Int,This is the place where i've tasted Merc even i'm ex-Hgdep BCs,Friendly staff/Route Maters,Caring Manager,What more can i expect?I really miss the atmosphere there.
15)Shenton Way,Although i dont drive any of the services there but there's twice i follow my S107 Friend and chant with the timekeeper there.There are friendly although first impression tell a diff story.
16)Saint Michael's Ter,Best mee rebus stall there,Old ter with lots of renovation to be made,But i have number of friend there on S21 & S131.
17)Tampines Int,My most fav int in the East particularly,Great connection to food,Shops and bus spotting.
1Toa Payoh Int,Need i say more?
19)Upper East Coast Ter,My fav hangout during certain off day to chat with some BCs there.
20)Woodlands Int,Can see almost all SMRT bus models,Great place to see bus chiong pick up!Causeway point,My top 3 fav places.
21)Yishun Int,Nostalgic places.
Dislikes
1)Bishan Int,Cramped and dangerous parking lots,Every year there's cases buses accident there due to the parking arrangement.
2)Changi Airport Ter,Wonder when there ar going to demolish this place?Stuffy,Crap timekeepers,So dimp and so boring!
3)Hougang Central Int,Cramped and a lots of attitude BC Uncles.
4)Sengkang Int,Wonder why they call this dark pit int in the first place?The former ones are way off better.
5)Sims Place Ter,Really need another services to start there,I see some private buses/Vehicles takes advantages by parking at the lot specially for SBST buses.
6)Pasir Ris Int,The only thing i dislikes is that there are many apple polisher BCs whom reported every movement of yours particularly those with complain before to the Route Master.A lot of attitude BCs.
7)Yio Chu Kang Ter,If only they built a bigger Ter.

Favourites:
Bedok Interchange
Lots of services combined together and best place to take photos of buses (outside the interchange).
Boon Lay Interchange
Best place for taking pictures of 10.5m variants.
Hougang Interchange
Lots of HGDEP buses there especially the MKII and DT.
Tampines Interchange
Another good place to take photos of buses outside the interchange.
Dislikes:
Pasir Ris Interchange
A bus driver (SBS 2729U on Express 51 once asked me on why I took picture of buses (I took photo opposite the bus park). Long walking distance from interchange to main road. Poor lighting conditions.
Sengkang Interchange
Interchange is dark lit especially at the alighting area. No good places outside the interchange for me to take photo of buses except at main road.
Note: The interchange(s) mentioned were the only ones I visited so far. -
Pasir Ris is the one with top complains since 1999 compared to other east district int,Reasons attitude problems and sabo kia BCs

Like:
Tampines Int - Give Credit abit lar. Only Interchange to have almost all SBST buses terminating there, ranging from Dennis Darts* to B9TLs. (Minus NAC MK IIs CAC MK II DM, VO2X). Got Kaki TS also.
Bedok Int - Great food, great buses. Good combination for spotting
Punggol Int - Quiet.
Woodlands Reg Int - Love to see bendys zooming below my feet.
Toa Payoh Int - Shoik.
Not so Like:
Changi Airport Ter - Stuffy. Stay inside bus better.
Sengkang Int - Same as above.
Hate:
Bishan - Whose great idea to place a MCP above a Int. Damn Stuffy and also damn choking. Saving grace only is Junction 8. Heck, dunno why some people like to choose that for meeting place.

Larkin Bus Terminal....
I love the wide variety of buses there...Causeway Link, SBST 170 and other Malaysia buses.. -
my beloved bt merah int. .....i wonder if it's the smallest int. in sg , since the loading/alighting bay is just like the so-called 'island' of the army lexicon.....if bt merah public transport points : bus int and mrt(it's the smallest mrt station is sg according to sgwiki) both are smallest in sg in terms of area i'd be like

1st : WLD !! ~~>> This has got to be my favourite ! I loved it when the Volgren bendy floors and its loud engine just roars with echoes !!! God i love it!
2nd : Boon Lay ~~>> This int has quite a few spots for taking pics and is rather well lit and windy.
3rd : Bedok int ~~>> Has many choices of place to makan after alighting the bus from a long trip!
4th : Toa Payoh ~~>> Has air conditioning , which is a good thing esp when waiting for a svc with long waiting times during a hot weather.
5th : Clementi ~~>> Quite a nice int , esp since its just only a tempo one.
Hates :
1st : BP Int ~~>> Strange right? Well dont really hate it ... But i dont like the part where the rigids have to make a one round after coming out from the parking , then the bus got stucked behind a bendy thats waiting for passengers to alight.
2nd : Boon Lay ~~>> Not completely hate it ... but the fact that we had to walk all the way to the end for some svc really puts me off , esp for svc with long waiting times and u just see a bus coming and u dont want to miss it and u chased it . But becuz of its berth is right at the end , you cant catch up with the bus and u missed it. -
Esp with the choking LO3x extremely dirty fumes and merc's exhausts.Originally posted by SBS1985C:Hate:
