Which short-working trips do you like to see SBST & Tibs implement on high demand services? From where to where? (I'm not talking about those one-directional night services like 36A, 55A, 76A, 135A, 136A, I'm talking about those peak hours one like 9A, 74A, 105A, 153A etc).

963 ought to increase its frequency... I'd rather take 74 and change to 75/184 at sunset to go home though it costs more.

I believe 963 "got stuck" at AYE, somewhere near NUS/NUH.

Maybe they should send all the laoya pop buses on these short trip routes .

off_service, there's already 184A from Bt Panjang to NP in the AM peak. So maybe your suggestion changed to 184B.

I thinking of suggesting this to TIBS:
852A: Yishun to Bt Timah Road from 0600-0645. It is damn crushed in this sector, and is almost empty after opp NJC bus stop. There is a U-turn somewhere near 6th Ave, so Since they had gotten 804A for Northbrooks SEc, I hope they consider this. SBST has 151A terminating at Dunearn Rd. If 852A materialise, I hope no Dennis of any kind, but perhaps MB0405 is good, or better, some 0405Gs!

Lance 211 is the dominant fleet of 852. I really hate the bus... VERY HOT in the afternoon... even night!!

Imagine an SBS "school bus service" going INTO the schools in Bt Timah area using Darts! Too bad for Tibs, no more small buses, and the small ones they used to have are too small!

Jus to update you there are more Lance 245s than 211s on 852 currently. Some had went to Service 853 and 855, as well as to 980.
I agree with you that the ac got problem, but the ac got some kind of funny smell. The 211s, though, can be damn cold in the morning at around 0630, while the 245s can normally keep their cool throughout the day

Where's your house? 963 goes to Changi Airport? It's from Woodlands to HarbourFront.

The proposed peak-hour shortworking trips are justifiable for SBST or TIBS to consider. However I would like to express my disappointment and puzzled on Service 69A.

As some of you might know, this service operates from Tampines/Bedok Interchange to Temasek Poly. Most of the other shortworking trip services will turn back to their originating point, ie Service 2A will turn back to Changi Village Terminal (from Tanah Merah MRT onwards) after serving its duty. But in the case of Svc 69A, and particularly trips starting from Tampines Int, will continue its journey WITHOUT any passengers towards Bedok Interchange after serving its duty up to Temasek Poly. Isn't it better if SBST increases the frequency of the service, rather than add a 'shortworking' trip. It's rather wasting to see a bus continuing its normal journey but without any passenger.

Anyone has any other services to highlight?

Cheers and warm regards
