  Good, good. Try not to run into any of those lost souls, OK? Running into rare cameos is enough, hear?

  Then what if someone needs to go there late at night (let's assume a big "if")? Or, worse, someone taking route 975 from Bukit Panjang to Choa Chu Kang oversleeps or something, and ends up at Lim Chu Kang? Does this mean they get struck there overnight? Remember, there's only a 0.000000001% of getting a taxi there even in daylight hours; booking will only slightly raise your chances to about 0.0001%.

  Good grief...

  There's a huge chance the driver may just send him back to civilisation on the way back to the depot/int. Probably out of humanity...

  Anyone wants to try?  ~ We can try taking a 11pm trip out of BP or at CCK then see what the driver tells us as we start to enter LCK... ~

  I really really REALLY think SMRT should introduce some kind of special route that operates, let's say, between Woodlands Depot and Lim Chu Kang during those late hours to pick any passengers that might get stranded there.

  Either that, or seriously hope that the bus driver will allow such stranded passengers a ride on an out-of-service bus back to human cvilisation in case such things happen.

  But, as QX179R said, if the bus breaks down...

  I've always wondered what happens if the last bus breaks down....i mean on any service lah...like 851, 852, 168, 161...not just ulu services. Will they send a replacement bus immediately to pick up passengers on the rest of the route? Bec they have to follow the last bus timings on the bus stop very closely.

  I really want to see the last Service 980 (Sunday night, towards Sembawang) and 190 bus (towards Choa Chu Kang) breakdown!
