  I am not sure if the buses have been upgraded to better ones but those buses were really disgusting.

  
  Tink SBS Transit wants more people to utilise 198 instead.

  I think even since the NAC are phased out and the DM3500(Yellow seats) came in the. the bus condition are much better.

  1) 354... This service is utterly useless... Why did SBS even make this, when other buses could just make a side stop. Waste of manpower....

  2) 518B... this bus is identical to 518 but starts after the terminal... might as well deploy           another 518...

  3) 51 is way too long...

  4) every single premium service... they are a waste of money... you can just take an express servuce or a normal service... and you can't stand on a premium service...

  5) 279... the route just serves specifically to university students at NTU, and there are too     many buses on it...

  and Why do you hate 8???

  i hate 113.

  Got one time, i wanna meet my friend at Lorong Ah Soo (first time)

  So my friend told me to take 113 from Hougang.

  So i take that bus. and i was like WTF!

  this svc turn here and there ..

  and it took me almost 45mins to reach my destination.

  Damn. SBST should stick to feeder!

   SMRT the best (or maybe i should say TIBS). More direct without turning here and there..

  Except for some service (that was created by SBS that time like svc 67,61 etc)

   

  
  If you want Sv113 to be direct, how are those people from Kovan going home at Lor Ah Soo? If feeder, which interchange should it start? Always thinking without using brain. Bus services does not mean to drive you from one end to one end. If it is, might as well make it express route. Stupidity.  Think of the routes in between. If you not happy just take cab.

  many people take 354. if u amend a svc like lets say 6 to pasir ris close. people would not be used to it, they wil be like which bus go downtown east de. start with 35X de.

  that service is catered commuters commuting to downtown east.

  i advise u to watch what u say, theres a reason why these services are around, every route has a purpose.

  179's demand during school dismissal times is insane, even that amount of buses cant help bring everyone out of NTU.

  lol. here's my trick to getting up bus 95, going to NUS, board at Kent Ridge Terminal. Coming back from NUS, go Kent Ridge Terminal. There hardly any demand, 75% of the time I am the only one getting on at KRT.

  1) 187 - Long journey from Boon Lay to Woodlands.

  2) 335 - Long waiting time.

  3) 51 - The journey is too long and this is the longest bus journey in Singapore. 

  4) 182 - The frequency is too long.

  5) 61 - Frequency too long and travels too long.
