Sames goes to Fast Forward 74e...Passenger just board Fast Forward 74e as if it was the service 74 route.. Came to the bus stop at Ang Mo Kio Ave 6 (Blk 207) Theres a passenger wanting to alight....Then the driver just drove past the bus stop & the driver wave his hand (Signaling not stopping at that stop) -

perhaps changing the Service number will work. like FFW 529 for e.g

Renumbering the service might work, or just plainly using the number in internal records. Sounds much better IMO, 174e to 521. -

so i don't think there's a need to renumber the number.put the plasitc boards infront then don't on eds can liao lol

521 makes it looks like it plies a different route from 174. Would gladly prefer the EDS to scroll to a "Fast Forward" logo after show the destinations.ie. [ FAST FORWARD 174e ]

Better way. 2888ize it.
FAST FORWARD 174e. Thats it.

Maybe at the front show the destinations, then the side permanatly show Fast forward to the destination. Or program the FFW sign to the EDS?

just to explain
Express services are only 502 518 and 506
the rest are under different categories. becareful on how you relate such bus services. if u said express only means 502 506 and the 518s.
Express - bus routes that simply go express and charge the express fares
eg: 502 506 518
Very orginal routes. Express buses were first rolled out in 1995Fast forward - Bus routes going along orginal bus routes but skip many several stops so as to achieve 20 percent faster running time .
eg: 14e skips many stops n east and only oeprated the Orchard to bedok part of normal 14
eg: SMRT 188e - runs entire 188 but skips many stops mainly on AYE
Premium- these are flat fare routes. they bring you from township to XXX area super fast.
eg: Shenton Way Premium like the 535 or the SMRt546 etc
eg: CityShopper svc 576
Premium services are good for students cuase.. 1 dolalr flat fare for concession card holers... power.
eg: Tong tar Tpt svc 581 which runs Jurong East to NTU charging some high fares.
eg: SMRT teachers estate shuttle svc to Yio Chu kang stn aka svc 590.Bus Plus
orginal offered bby SMRt
eg: svc547. charges diferent fares from pPremiums.

ZYXUnless my memory fails..
SBS rolled out 501 502 503 in 1997
TIBS rolled out 520 on the same date as SBS on 1997. -

ZYXShenton Way premium does not charge student fares because of their target market.
