That is the order of arrival, sv543 arrival depends on traffic.For the past 1.5 weeks, it has arrived at Fullerton bus stop around 0844hrs[+/- 3mins]. Other times it arrived past 0900hrs... same BC driving.
At Tanjong Pagar probably around 0835hrs[+/- 3 - 7mins] and again due to traffic conditions

I believe they are considering whether the load is justified to put a B10M instead of an O405 as the latter has standing space.

Yesterday for Premium 555, only 5 passengers in total including me throughout the journey... Pathetic enough? -_-" -
That's very pathetic... Revenue income is $18.00. Not enough to cover for the driver. Guess have to do more to attract some passengers from Sv700....

Very hard... This is because Service 700 also takes less than 1 hour to reach Shenton Way from Bt Panjang. With cheaper fares (as compared to premium fares), they would rather take Service 700 instead, and hence, all the bendies on Service 700 in the morning are usually >70% packed..

mypaper is FOC one, so they use it as a bait for pax to board Premium 548/549 instead of waiting/queuing to take them...

Usually it takes 2-4 weeks for the demand to be stablised before SBST decides if its profitable to continue operating the route.For a start they should reconsider the express sector. Hope they would consider BKE, PIE, Whitley Rd, Stevens Rd, Paterson Rd, Irwell Bank Rd, Kim Seng Rd, Outram Rd, Cantonment Rd.. abit long ah..

BKE, PIE gd route but bus get jam at Whitley Rd always due to 1 lane exit from PIE, if SMRT bus break down[frequently
] there, gd luck to passengers on bus... -

Well, alternative route (apart exiting to Whitley Rd) can be exiting to Thomson Rd, Scotts Rd, Paterson Rd, all the way till Shenton Way... But i don't know whether Thomson Rd (after PIE) towards Orchard will jam up or not.
