  CityShopper services, its "retirement" in time to come, even not now ... with the due to open CCL etc. Anyway, its history. 2 questions pls:

  1) It seems there's CityShopper with "A", for example "579A", so how's the route & destination like?

  2) CityShopper buses would return to which bus routes? (Sorry if repeated question). May anyone have copy of the CityShopper driver timesheet? Would u mind pm to me (For memory-sake).

  Thanks.

  I wish 576 would return so that I can avoid riding on the packed bus 23 on Sunday night. Anyone knows the travelling time differences between 857-> 23 and 36 -> 31 from Suntec City to Tampines excluding waiting time?

  31 takes 35-40min from Parkway
  36 takes up to 20min

  857 takes 20min to Boon Keng
  23 takes another 30-35min

  10 direct only takes 45-55min

  so what you think?

  579 Bus stops plates have been stickered over. Still can see the number unlike 576 where they pull out the sticker... zz...

  That is obviously a bias statement given that you are a regular of one of the three services

  Anyway, it's just for that few occasions onli....

  Consumers will be more attracted to obvious tangible benefits such as fare reduction.
  Hence, I feel that alone shld improve ridership to an extent.
