They're quite smart in this terms. First of all, the bus stops 188E skips are bus stops that hardly many people board or alight. Just look at BB road as a case...and secondly, by putting the service at super peak hours,many will be forced to board as they wouldn't have a choice. Waiting for a regular 188 may mean that a person will be late for work.Originally posted by eX.A.K.R.:They have the cheek to charge Express fares for a piece of... faecal matter like this?
This doesn't look express at all.
they r forcing ppl to make adjustments... most ppl on morning peak take bus of regular timing, passengers haf to adjust their time to catch those regular buses.Originally posted by simnatic:They're quite smart in this terms.

more like they are forcing people to take their 188e by putting the service at the timing when alot of office workers take.Originally posted by khk:they r forcing ppl to make adjustments... most ppl on morning peak take bus of regular timing, passengers haf to adjust their time to catch those regular buses.
74e and 151e, maybe, and I agree with you that those two routes are more or less useless; I can't say the same for route 174e though. I once took this bus from Wheelock Place to Boon Lay once; I boarded the 6:33 PM bus and reached Boon Lay at a little over 7, the only delay being caused by heavy traffic. A normal route 174 would have taken over an hour.Originally posted by muziq bus:174e, 74e, 151e as well. Faeces from the almighty SBS
74e Does have the demand from SP / SIM / NP. It's only that the demand ends at AMK or Hougang Ave 8.Originally posted by eX.A.K.R.:74e and 151e, maybe, and I agree with you that those two routes are more or less useless; I can't say the same for route 174e though.

Hmm, I saw quite some people board 74e at Dover station although there is one svc 74 DD behind...Originally posted by sBs_boy:74e Does have the demand from SP / SIM / NP. It's only that the demand ends at AMK or Hougang Ave 8.
