That's right. Exp 501 n 502 skip that bus stop.Originally posted by tranquilice:Anyone knows why?
Svc 26 buses skip the stop along Geylang Rd outside City Plaza on its way to Toa Payoh.
Svc 162 buses skip the stop along Connaught Dr opposite the padang on its way to Shenton Way.
{Both Svcs 501 & 502 buses skip the stop along Yio Chu Kang Rd after Serangoon Garden Way on their way to the city.}
Svc 26 and Svc 18 can integrate to form a new service. (like the case of Svc 28 & 152)Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Bus 26 route is so short ,they dont need to skip bus stops in fact they need an extention of route but I am not too sure where through .
That's the problem with many services. After the old double decks are phased out, most services are converted to single-decks only services.Originally posted by SBS9818A:No no no! Too much duplication would be present! There would be 4 routes from Toa Payoh to Tampines, it's overkill! I can remember the O305s on Sv. 26, pity they don't have double-decks now.
If 18 integrates with 26, what would happen to Volvo B10M Bendy Bus?Originally posted by tranquilice:Svc 26 and Svc 18 can integrate to form a new service. (like the case of Svc 28 & 152)
That is why , SBS is leaving bus 18 alone . Bus 18 is around purposely to serve passengers from bedok to tampines area and vice versa .Originally posted by SBS9816E:If 18 integrates with 26, what would happen to Volvo B10M Bendy Bus?
The only duplication of routes is mostly at the starting and ending points, and more routes give the passengers more choices.Originally posted by SBS9818A:No no no!

SBS 998Y? Can deploy on Svc 9, 16 or 36 etc which only can use single deckers.Originally posted by SBS9816E:If 18 integrates with 26, what would happen to Volvo B10M Bendy Bus?
If 18 integrates with 26, the extended service will still via Bedok, but this time round is via Bedok MRT (New Upp Changi Rd) instead of turning into Bedok Int.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:That is why , SBS is leaving bus 18 alone .

Bus 9 and 16 cannot have 998Y buses . Bus 9 , it goes to cargo complex , the roads are narrow . Bus 16 ? The roads at joo chiat are very narrow as well . Bus 36 ? No way , terminal 1 is very small to have long buses , TIBS has tried it already and they have not send anymore bendy buses on 858 to airport ever since .Originally posted by tranquilice:SBS 998Y?
