The traffic light sensor thing. Now cannot use, cos traffic light all not affected by radio frequencies.Originally posted by ^tamago^:yes.
RapidBus 700 also had other time-saving measures as well.![]()

1. Bus priority at traffic lights is discontinued (transponder).Originally posted by patdog112:why they change 700 back to a normal service?
I believe you're referring to Transit Priority Scheme (TSP) which allows buses to receive green light earlier so that their waiting time at junctions are reduced.Originally posted by ^tamago^:yes.

The above was not implemented on Rapidbus 700.Originally posted by stituss:3. People are not willing to pay higher fare then, so changing back to normal service encourage more people to take it. (But now, people don't mind paying EXORBITANT prices to get a seat -- two cases in point are SBS Transit new premium service serving Flora Road & SMRT Bus Plus serving Bayshore, which are both charging slightly less than $5).
It charged trunk route's fares then.Originally posted by stituss:3. People are not willing to pay higher fare then, so changing back to normal service encourage more people to take it.

If the lights are green, it will stay green for 10 seconds more.Originally posted by stituss:I believe you're referring to Transit Priority Scheme (TSP) which allows buses to receive green light earlier so that their waiting time at junctions are reduced.
In total, they limit the request for green light at four junctions only.
It's okay. Maybe I could try to dig up old newspaper clippings on it.Originally posted by stituss:Thanks for highlighting. Sorry for the boob.
