S'pore - JB bus links to doubleTHE number of bus services linking Singapore and Johor Baru is being doubled from eight to 16.
This is to cater to the expected demand from people heading to the Iskandar region in Johor.
Iskandar is a development corridor in the southern part of the state, about three times the size of Singapore.
The two countries agreed on the move to 'enhance transport links' after the fourth meeting of the Malaysia-Singapore Joint Ministerial Committee earlier this month.
No deadline has been set for the move yet.
Operators of these cross-border services said it was a good move to have more services and expressed interest in applying to run them.
The services that now ply routes between Singapore and Johor Baru are run by local companies SBS Transit, SMRT and Singapore-Johore Express Bus Service, as well as Malaysian company Handal Indah.
There is no limit to the number of trips that they can make per day.
These buses are similar to regular service buses that run on Singapore roads and are not the large express tour buses that go to other parts of Malaysia such as Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh or Penang.
Said operations officer Wang Liang Jiong of Singapore-Johore Express: 'If the opportunity arises, it is definitely one we will consider.

Maybe the new routes should start from the South and East too to cater.
So far, 160/170 serves West and Central area, SJE serves from Central, 950 serves the North, CW1,2,3 also around the same area as where the former also plies.
8 more, the checkpoints need to squeeze abit too
Will the causeway tahan the further increase in buses?

Honestly, I feel that ALL SMRT Buses with fabric seats should have their seat covers replaced with PVC ones, just like what was done on some O405's seat covers. It seems to me that the fabric seats is probably one factor that makes it hard to clean the seats as fabric trap dust easily. This might explain why some fabric seat buses don't smell pleasant other than another very possible factor of lack of regular cleaning of bus interior. Maybe some of you guys have compared the difference in interior smell of a PVC seat O405 and fabric seat O405? Then you will know what I mean. However, replacing the fabric seat covers with PVC ones only helps to keep the bus cleaner to a certain extend and more importantly, such a replacement is only to make regular cleaning easier. -
