City Shopper Premium Services

Actually on weekends 502 and 518 fleet can strengthened one
1 person fare like $2, 1 packed bus towards CBD can generate close to $160 of revenue
Return trip no ppl also nvm
Deploy ADD to carry more ppl or make it frequent might get more ppl to take -

Service 576 -
$3.30 is far too expensive. If $2.50 maybe still ok cos Express maximum fare is $2.35 by ezlink card & $2.45 by cash.

You still can take Service 69 and transfer to City Hopper 576 at Springfield Secondary School.Originally posted by bus555:Wow cool, 576 serve Tampines to Orchard but lol, didnt serve my Tampines area but nvm. the fare too expensive to take... -
How come there's no City Shopper Service from the west like Jurong West ? Is it because of service 502 ?
Actually, 502 should deploy 1 or 2 more ADD coz everytime during evening peak hours, it's ALWAYS pack... -

i think the fare is too expensive..Originally posted by 28_29_293:$3.30 is far too expensive. If $2.50 maybe still ok cos Express maximum fare is $2.35 by ezlink card & $2.45 by cash.
if my wife and me take this bus to orchard and back, it cost me S$13.20.if i take bus and transfer MRT, it cost me S$1.50x2x2 = S$6.00
if i drive there and back, plus parking, it will be less than S$13.20 also. -
There are some possibilities that the numbers in between are taken by other premium services which are operated by private operators, example is 571 and 572.Originally posted by sbs&tibs:I am surprised by the numbering. Thought the number continues from after 548 onwards consecutively. The numbering jump from 551 to 576 and 577 instead. These Orchard premiums are postponed till 15 Dec from last saturday.

Maybe use Scania K230UBs
