  Maybe need the downroute trip for 960 from Bugis Area. Should add in 2 more rigids, just like SMRT is doing on 960 and 963 during School Holidays.

  
  Suggested that 960 should also downroute to Rochor Canal Rd. As there are more passengers boarding 960 in the PM Peak trip, bendies are recommended for this case.

  this guy has no idea how express services work. it has to be direct while serving as large a catchment area as possible to augment its survivability. that's why they tend to run along routes with residences on both sides of the road to get as much passengers as possible who are willing to pay higher fares for the direct route from within walking distance from their home to town.

  diverting it to St 93 will immediately deprieve residents staying up to a street away from Pioneer Rd North (St 61, 62 and 63) from having access to it, except those nearer to Jurong West Avenue 5. this is not a win-win sitation at all.

  following the principle of having residences on both sides, we could even amend it to go by St 61! but of course that would make it too far for N9 residents, and that's why it is using Pioneer Road North. express services are not supposed to be a doorstep service anyway, their services are not required and not counted as the basic services that must be required to serve every neighbourhood under PTC guidelines.

  i find it absurd also if his MP actually backs the plan to deprieve his St 61 residents of a walking distance to an existing express service. and if the MP backs the plan and say, "my residents are OK not taking your express services", i'd see no reason why the public bus company would turn it down. i smell something fishy here. is it a smear campaign?

  
  Support! BNL doesn't just have Jurong West St 91, 92 & 93. In fact that area is like only a small portion of BNL. People like him should move out of BNL to somewhere near town instead of making stupid complains all day long about making his estate more accessible. In the first place nobody asked him to stay in an area so out of reach to town and so tightly enclosed that there's not much flexibility in transport options. Then like that don't need to hear him complaining about 99, 241 etc etc when their service standards (esp. 241) is already so efficient as provided by SBST. What a waste of STOMP's bandwidth, his intelligence, MP's energy and other useful resources just to please stupid people like him.

  e Jurong West N9 complain I smell a rat.

  Honestly speaking ask them to run SBS lor. Need to dispatch buses to suit them and still need to handle NTU, JIE load. Somemore NTU-D is barred from carrying standee.

  I think SBS can dump VO2x onto 241 to make it fully DD lor. Short distance ma.

  To the PTO, the information provided is sufficient to identify what the stomper is referring to.

  Hmm, he should go and feedback about the JIS fares, since the JIS Industrial fares were abolished with the implementation of Distance Fares.. No point making fruitless feedback on JW service

  wat do u want?

  There's alrdy not enough buses to go around not to say growing NTU population and expanding Tuas.

  Let me tell u, e future mega shipyards and port would be in Tuas. It's working population is likely to be way bigger than e small kechil Jurong N9.

  Not to say I've ever warned you before buses needed for SUTD, Seletar Aerospace Park, Sengkang West, Punggol, Tuas. Some needs are bigger than tis 40 blocks of Jurong West N9.

  Can go talk to e MP. If I'm not wrong, it's e same MP in charge of parts of JIE.

  let's leave to the "experts" to settle these problem. Either service 241 got excess or insufficient resources, it should be the bus company business. They know what they are doing..

  I posted 1 on SgStomp....but can't really find it.. 

  Anyway, I would like to say that the BC driving on 169AM07, TIB1178Y around 1 pm on service 169 was so kind! He waited for me when he saw me running from far! He even gave a smile to me when I tap the card. He also greeted other passenger when they are onboard.
