Night buses suggestion
-
Ok folks my suggestions...
For SMRT Buses Niterider 1:Not much comments,16 mins frequencies are ok except for the 2nd & last buses which are usually packed to the brim.SBST 1N only suppliment the Yishun sectors.It's good if SBST can extend 1N till 4.15am so that indirectly can ease a bit of NR 1 loads mainly to Yishun.
NR2:No comments on this ones but i feels that 2N should go up north to suppliment NR2 rather than going to the East.
NR3:Another super cashcow but really need to improve its frequencies.SBST 3N doesn't help much either.They really need to publitise their Niteowl more
NR5:Good loads bad frequencies.5N are so-so.Need to extend its last bus timing
NR6: ,Not so healthy loads maybe 6N covers more Hougang area and till Punggol.But 6N 2nd & last bus loads are reasonably good.
NR7:Super packed during Saturdays & PHs.2N & 7N need more publicity and extend the last bus timing.
NR8:Yo-Yo loads on this service,Need to improve the frequencies @ 3am.8N also doing quite well currently from mouth to mouth recommendation alternative NR5.
So my suggestion for SBST is to extend 1N/5N/6N/N/7N & 8N till 4.15-20am from current 4 -
I think SBST should put up Nite Owl plates at bus stops, and state where it goes. At least SMRT put their NightRider stickers.

NR3 is like night time 190.. of course even at night its crowded.. last bus 190 during fri and sat is freak crowded.. many people lan lan muz take first NR3 bus home from orchard...
N3 is better , oni frequency bad... buses compared to NR3 is much better.. cooler aircon and smooth ride.. somemore its cheaper than NR3 by 50cents.. many people dun know SBST has night service too
sometimes in the night i wait for nightservices rather than board the last 190 bus home.... -
NRs always so cold

Nightrider $3 transfer is free to another NR within 45 mins
NiteOwl EZ Link $2.50 Cash $3 No free transfer,NiteOwl is indirectly suppliment for NightRider.If i drive NR7,2N & 7N help a bit,If NR6 theres 6N -

Did he say SBST? SMRT ones some of them allow the drivers to change settings, like fan speed, temperature.Originally posted by TWS4793:I thought SBST say BC cannot adjust temperature of the AC?

Last year, took 1214B on NR8, BC drives 106.
And numerous box, Habit and batch 2 bendies on NR5 and 8 also, others also have an assortment.
This new year day also have 1111P on NR2, and of course an assortment of others. -

I would suggest to let NR3 go to Scotts Road and turn at Newton Circus into Bt Timah Road (like 171). Then go along Bukit Timah all the way until the end. Then turn into Choa Chu Kang Road @ Ten Mile Junction there and follow actual route again.
Bukit Timah has no NR bus. -
that place rich people place where got take NR?Originally posted by C151:I would suggest to let NR3 go to Scotts Road and turn at Newton Circus into Bt Timah Road (like 171).

Last time bus stop still have Niteowl press release now most gone already

N3 ply through some bukit timah area.... but mostly is express area...Originally posted by C151:I would suggest to let NR3 go to Scotts Road and turn at Newton Circus into Bt Timah Road (like 171).

Even if rich people live there that does not mean that they all use car to go home. Think about people who are still too young (like teenagers) to drive or don't dare to drive at night.Originally posted by 105090:that place rich people place where got take NR?

Some NightRiders & NiteOwls drivers are flexible,They sometimes let you alight at not designated bus stops.They also accept $2 if you really have no $ left.Originally posted by patdog112:N3 ply through some bukit timah area.... but mostly is express area... -
Well, most NR drivers care for passengers. I slept inside NR2 and then, the BC ask where you go and I say overskipped busstop and he drove on.

last time SMRT advertised for part time NightRider-only drivers..
-

N3 at yewtee area.. 3.50am i tink.. nobody in bus liao.. the bus captain ask me which street i stay i answer him cck north there.... the bc very kind still say at night very dangerous i drive u inside... then turn the bus into the small street nx to my house.. really kind.. should hav wrote letter to SBST

gd suggestion, esp since 174M is no longer running.Originally posted by C151:I would suggest to let NR3 go to Scotts Road and turn at Newton Circus into Bt Timah Road (like 171). Then go along Bukit Timah all the way until the end. Then turn into Choa Chu Kang Road @ Ten Mile Junction there and follow actual route again.
Bukit Timah has no NR bus.
but then, there must be a reason why sbst didn't wan to serve bt timah anymore after the nite owl revamp. and the reason is not like "the rich ppl there can take their own buses", but rather considering the past statistics of 174M like the number of alighting pax in the area etc...
