  Thats why you will see long queues everyday at WRI. Holiday and Weekends are worst.

  
  Average time currently is be more than 10 minutes.

  But 950 had done fleet add last year: TIB461K and TIB462H.

  since u have seen it operating from toa payoh, you should try asking the driver for the evening trip.

  Got a reason why SBST dun wanna buy MBs.One thing is they got huge fleet.Find buses under 9 litres is wise choice,save road tax.Yes they already exempted from paying ERP but still chargeable for road tax.SMRT in other hand is only less than half of their fleet so it not be a problem buying 12 litre buses.Hope SMRT can buy the bus and probably a few B9Ls. So roughly in future we can see SBST:Scanias and Volvos while SMRT Merc & China buses..

  Got many alternatives to take to JB Sentral: 160/170/170X/CW1/CW2
  '''' to Kota Raya 2 Terminal: 160/170X/CW1

  From JB to WRI:
  If you don't want to wait for 950, can walk to Woodlands Centre Road stop from Woodlands Checkpoint and take 178, 856, 903, 911E, 912E and 913E.

  950 has little buses because only a few buses from SMRTB are JB-registered (20 to be exact, ranging from regos TIB447C to TIB466Y). Made worse is that not all 20 are running on the service as some of the buses are being given to other services ... ...

  Which is why i find it ironic.They should deploy total of 14 buses to 950 and make 6 of it spare in case of preventive maintenance or breakdown rather than perm on 911,912,964..
