IKEA/COURTS/GIANT(Tampines) BUS SHUTTLE
-
Hi everyone,
They are adding more services to go places like Hougang Interchange and Sengkang Int(heard from BC) and ???
For Hougang Interchange, the boarding and alighting area is outside Hougang Bus Interchange(near to the bus stop)
Operating hours: 11.45am to 9.30pm
Frequency: 30mins
Saw two buses deployed on this service.
Heard from BC that it will last until the end of this month, and also due that COURTS is celebrating to welcome its 1 million customer

Haha ... How I wish SMRT is going to deploy bendies and charge fares for these type of services.
It's a potential holy cashcow XD. -
does the shuttle svcs operate on weekdaes?
-
shuttle services are always crowded.... because its free
Suntec City, Turf City etc.
If charge money, no one will want to go there already.
especially so for turf city and tampines.. so inaccessible for those using buses.
no bus/ charge money = no customers go = no business -
how do they count the 1millionth customer?

Nope, that's incorrect. They have different shuttle services for Hougang, Sengkang/Punggol. Just took it today, 90% of the seats are occupied when back to Hougang. A pity the shuttle ends next week.Originally posted by sBs_boy:Frequency is 40mins.

Btw, off topic a bit, it was only until I took the shuttle bus that I discovered that TPE has been diverted to the new (partial) KPE and not the normal Tampines Road end already. As a result svc 81 and 53 have been directed to use the new road as well. Erm, didn't know of this.
Edit: just saw the notice in SBST website, a lot of bus stops skipped...lol -
going to punggol is important ...
mainly the east ppl go ikea more ... and they are the ppl who shop at ikea alexdra -
Going to Punggol or sengkang is nearer mah..BTW there are more perm Chartered SL mostly from Bus Plus
-
talked to the SL who drived the Hougang Shuttle and learned from him that he need to work long hours for driving the Ikea Shuttle. Drive around 15+ hours a day(from early morning to night time).
There is even a SL who drive for 19 hours a day. His bus is being placed as the first and last bus

There was only two commuters taking the bus(including me). Then over at Tampines, the guards joked with the SL that most of the time transport the chairs of the bus over here and back.
But more commuters will take it during afternoon, evening time -
