Withdraw of Sv 985W. Last day on 13 Oct 07
-
Does those bus stops with 985 but dont have 985W have the poster?
Maybe SMRT forgotten to include that 985 frequency would be improved or the wait will become 20+ mins in the future?
-
Obviously, 985W is a waste of resources for SMRT. For goodness sake, hardly anyone take the bus from the stretch 985W currently is diverted to. If it follows the normal route, there are many from Swiss Cottage,St Anthony,HomeTeam NS, BBDC, Blk 7XX residents, the temple...it was a bad decision from the start.

I think the resources are just divided out from the 985 pile.Originally posted by simnatic:Obviously, 985W is a waste of resources for SMRT.

Finally! Its about time
-
Even before 985W started, i know that this service will have low demand coz firstly, who would want to board the svc along BB road ?
Btw anyone has any idea what is the letter 'W' in 985W means ?
and do u guys realised something ? It is always SMRT that fails to come up with good routes... -
cant agree more... the worst is 922...good route layout..but reaaaly terrible freqOriginally posted by azharjj:It is always SMRT that fails to come up with good routes... -
I don't find it good.... They can make it better by amending the route to Jelapang Rd to cover up for the lost of former Service 345 and NOT making the poor little students from Greenridge Primary School to walk all the way from Segar LRT all the way to the school....Originally posted by JJxJJ:cant agree more... the worst is 922...good route layout..but reaaaly terrible freq 
Really miss my primary school days when I take Service 345 to school everyday, and squeeze inside the bus with whole lot bunch of my schoolmates (Greenridge Primary School)... OAC Merz but never note down the rego...

Too bad lor,At least peak hour requirement is met LTA had nothing to say.Originally posted by sbst275:Alrdy bad enough

Wait... 20 mins is peak hr
Dun even meet 10 mins
Off peak 15 mins, 20 mins no one care -
Was 985W supposed to be a normal service in the first place? I never saw any proper sign for 985W at bus stops. 700A has a spot beside 700 on the main sign and 190A/67W has a separate sign. The only indication that there is 985W is from the route info board at some bus stops.

Wha you so blur sotong,I talk about the future peak hour time lar not nowOriginally posted by sbst275:Wait... 20 mins is peak hr

SMRT dun seem to have bought enough buses to meet that rule leh... Maybe SMRT will scrap a few routes to free up the buses.Originally posted by carbikebus:Wha you so blur sotong,I talk about the future peak hour time lar not now -

Last day liao

Are you sure it's west? Because from my knowledge, before SMRT took over Southwest CDC area, there was services such as 67 White Plate. So, when they took over, they just renamed it W=white...since then, they've been doing that to their new shortworking trips.Originally posted by sBs_boy:'W' - West -
Thats SMRT way of doing things.Originally posted by simnatic:Are you sure it's west? Because from my knowledge, before SMRT took over Southwest CDC area, there was services such as 67 White Plate.

Same goes for E.

SMRT can only have 4 letters to play with - A, C, E and W. Maybe N and R.Originally posted by sBs_boy:Thats SMRT way of doing things.
