  Not enough buses? Then why they're on IKEA Shuttle?
  
  Obviously it's profits over basic service obligation

  970 very poor frequency. Don't need to wait at interchange to see if there is jams. Look at the no. of buses and the length of route and you know.

  Sheesh, what time was that...
  please la, 970 is like SBS's 186 ok.
  not referring to the freq but am referring to the demand and load.
  go and see for yourselves, dont just assume.
  
  963 night and off peak hours not much ok. its the peak which is crucial.
  
  i also saw one 30 at BNL, one 175 at GL1, one 65 at HBF.
  so? drivers switch between 2-3pm what. Night time no rush what.

  You dont know those kiddos anyhow whack ones,When SMRTB is down they boycott,criticise,When SBST down they will also critice like shit.This is how they call themselves bus fans,No solution always condemm ones.A cousin of NATO also,No Action Talkcock Only
  IKEA shuttle they mostly deploy the basic sv buses on weekends unless the PA Lances went for maintenance,Those IKEA shuttles are not full time SLs,They're either chartered service representative or Part timers.

  Well that is still an opinion.
  CCK has got a good service to town with freq of 2-8minutes...
  And dont say that SMRT cant cope with 190..
  even london has a service like that, service 73. with a freq of 2-8min and stil needing better freq.

  Yes, thats true. But some narrow minded ppl feels that SMRT aint doing good cos of these low demand(off peak) service.
  
  186 is still having probs and no one's grumbling? it even appeared in STOMP

  True. The only ones who are more credible in giving these statements should be the people who live in BB and CCK.
  We been thru how SBS, TIBS and SMRT ruled the area.
  
  for BP, since SBS days, freq of buses there have been standard at 15mins...

  What did he assume? He merely stated that he saw 1 bus at interchange. I find your statement pretty amusing.

  Definitely, many of the flats north of Bukit Panjang Rd like those in Senja and Segar were completed less than 10 years ago.
  
  CCK North was also another new area then.

  700 unlikely. Remember it was downgraded from a Rapid Service.
  
  Since it's stable, why suddenly introduce a 700E when there's not really anywhere to "turn Express"?
  
  Same with 190e and 960e (Bukit Panjang sector)

  With more residents moving into these estates, they need more bus routes, not fewer.
