SMRT Service 966
-
The pity extend to all residents staying in SMRT towns. Whereas residents in SBS towns have direct buses, residents in SMRT towns need to transfers.Originally posted by krautfuher:190 is a express service that's charging basic fares
I doubt they will introduce one from BP since unlikely the speed can beat 190.
I hope they start one from Yew Tee though, ply through CCK and Bricklands Rd. Else Yew Tee residents are real pitiful having to rely heavily on feeders.
As a result, they pay higher fare, incur longer journey time, and have to endure the hassle of transfers.
sigh.

Well, I still think it would be better to see the situation after the new SMRT buses comes in.Originally posted by 105090:maybe like 518A/B
A starts from Woodlands, skip Bukit Panjang >> Marine Parade
B starts from Bukit Panjang >> Marine Parade
actually,i see 966 as some sort of weekend bus like 857
I think with their current fleet size it would be hard for them to deal with the situation, esp with unpredictable road conditions on expressways. -
Actually, I think 966 was meant to serve bp when it was first introduced. But there was only 1 entrance/exit from BKE to bp and its quite stupid to make a loop in bp. So the extension was made only after petir rd extended to join diary farm rd. Or else, it would probably use SLE/CTE and join PIE like 857. Why waste an extra 10 mins for that huge roundabout for the 2 extra stops along PIE. Its not like it serves a large part of wdl either before getting to BKE.

I think that new Petir Road was the best excuse to make 966 calls at BP
