yeah, headache now. argh.Originally posted by my@jas:Reading your decription gives me a headache
Next time just state the road name it passes through.
If ever implemented, it'll most probably be a SMRT svc as it passes through WDL, SBW and YSH. -
dont really like SBS buses... so...
-
whoa..if really DD crash hope it's gonna be a B9TL. 0.1 m higher than VOs, LOs, VSO.
-
I believe 851 would be better off under SBSOriginally posted by iveco:169 could be given back to SBS, who will put VSOs to serve on this route. -
But SBS can't put DDs on that route.Originally posted by sbst275:I believe 851 would be better off under SBS

Hopefully the place can redevleop to take in DDsOriginally posted by iveco:But SBS can't put DDs on that route. -
yea.. or maybe when yishun int is rebuilt then DDs can come in, but i think just making the roof higher would be a plus point cause more ppl wud rather take buses that have DDs then SD's -> mostly SMRT
-
Actually just hack down the covers at the entrance. Add a berth that is currently used for alighting purposes (ie. next to 811-towards Khatib).

One qn, for service 164, at the part where it turns right into Wellington Circle, I have checked The Street Directory by Mighty Minds stating that Wellington Circle is a dead end. So, how does the route go then?Originally posted by tintinspartan:I may say this:
I plan a new service
164: Yishun to Boon Lay
Passes by: Yishun MRT, Yishun Mosque, Straight, turns right at junction before Sembawang MRT, turns right to Wellington Circle and goes straight till junction before Canberra Primary and turns left, Sun Plaza, turns right to Sembawang Crescent, turns left after meeting with main road goes straight till Admiralty where it turns left aft.

Short trips:
164w Yishun to Woodlands Interchange: (supplement service)
follows normal route till reaching junction near Innova JC and mainroad to SLE and turns right and follows 161 route to end at Woodlands. Starts at 6:00 and ends at 9:00, 14:00 till end of operation
164A Boon Lay to Kranji(looping)
Follows normal route until junction at Turf City Road and goes straight to end at Kranji Terminal: Operates from 5:45 to 8:30 and 16:45 till 20:00
Buses required: SDs only
20 buses required for 164
9 buses required for 164w
10 DDs required for 164A
Depots controlling Service: SLBP, AMDEP and BBDEP -
We would have to make a roundabout or follow the way 82 loops at Punggol or 975 loop at Lim Chu Kang
-
One problem that results will be that the service has to introduce a sort of red and white plate system similar to SBST for roundabout routes like 73, 136, 315, 317, 21 and so on. However, unless the EDS changes colour, that is simply not possible.
Besides, there are other routes which are vague to me for example th portion at Woodlands Grove Sec Sch. Does the bus service turn into the small road Woodlands Drive 64?
Just a thought. -
Well ... Let's say for 410 for example. SMRT could have ...
410A instead of 410G for 410 Anti-Clockwise ... and ...
410C instead of 410W for 410 Clockwise
or 410E for 410 East and 410W for 410 West.
Just a thought. -

To a general public, it sounds rather confusing. Some people are asking me about differentiating the directions of buses of 73, 136, 315, 317 respectively at Serangoon Garden Circle. Of course, I will have to explain like 73, 136 use different coloured bus plates at the side of the bus while 315, 317 use a small card in front of the driver's seat.
Then they ask me, how come SBST don't want to standardise the way of differentiating the directions so that it will be easier for us? I am stunned though. Anyway, with 985W, 67W and other shortworking trips, what I am worried is that commuters are confused and tend to infer from another SMRT service like for example 67W is a shortworking trip instead of acting as a role like 73, 136, 315, 317. -

I cant tell what's the difference between for e.g SMRT svc 912 & 912E... ( the letter "E" at the back). Sometimes, I saw both 912 & 912E plies on the same road... It's rather confusing. But what I know is it can't compared with an exp svc like 188E & 963E... Can anybody explain this ?
-
811E,812E,912E... all these are intra-town(2 towns) svc.. it means tat it terminates at the yishun instead of going to another town.. like for e.g 811.. 811 goes to khatib area and chong pang area.
example
Svc starts at Yishun Int as 811
then to Chong Pang
and when it reaches the bus stop outside northpoint,
the driver will change the no. to 811E.
It works for every alternate bus.
so if u wait at that bus stop. u will see..
811/811E/811/811E/811/811E.... etc
then it continues into Yishun Int(811/811E)
then to Khatib
and back to Yishun Int..
those that take 811E must alight while those on 811 can continue to Chong Pang.. -

For SBST usually they will have the red T plate infront. -
if for a service like 912, which is explained by chocolates, is an intra-town service, 912E means that it will terminate at woodlands interchange after finishing its trip. if you see a 912 without an E, it will not terminate but will go to woodlands interchange and terminate the next time round. this goes the same for 911 and 913. for trunk services, an E means express service.Originally posted by azharjj:I cant tell what's the difference between for e.g SMRT svc 912 & 912E...
