  hey relax la.. this is a forum.. why get so worked up?
  no1 says u can only states facts, not opinions here
  and whats makes you think every1 here except your friends are xiao didi?
  mt SMRT refers to trains, not buses
  
  
  look at the MRT stations... getting more n more crowded.. and so many incidents happening.. if theres no major shift in population, and the demand for PBS goes up, it means people are preferring PBS despite the high prices for only a few reasons
  
  rise in train fares? no
  withdrawal of services? no
  large increase in new flats/ residents?
  every office worker feeling rich suddenly?
  and one reason is they are losing confidence in trains
  and since PBS charges such a high price, the push factor must be pretty high for them to switch over
  
  you are also a grown-up. you should be able to differentiate whats right or wrong, whats "anyhow whack" and sensible debate. You think 95% of the posters who post here are out to create trouble isnt it? i agree, no doubt. you think any strangers here all come here anyhow post, anyhow whack,anyhow stir trouble only
  
  no wonder moderators need to keep deleting and closing threads... just one person, one post, one line, is enough to make a storm out of a teapot
  no use raising my blood pressure for such things..

  531 mostly serves the private housing area, which is Bus Plus's niche

  Ironically, what is the purpose of Bus Plus now? Not very clear of its status now. Used to be another division under TIBS but not under TIBS name. Now still called Bus Plus but under SMRT. But instead using SMRT buses for premium services, instead of naming as Bus Plus.

  Why you need to get so worked up? If these places can give back to SBST, then all the better. No more substandard services and poor links.

  SBST already has FF services for AM and evening peaks as well for the same areas. So what for having evening peaks for the Premium services?

  And talking about 531, they rather put Citaros on it rather than fully deploying on services like 853 which was amended to ply along KTPH and make it WAB.

  The thing abt Bus Plus is that ever since SMRT branding came down, it's used to tender for ad hoc charter contracts as well.

  Air show was using Bus Plus's name.

  But like I've always said, as long as it's using PTO reg plate buses, chatering ought not to be allowed during peak hrs when resources esp for pm peak is alrdy tight.

  Relax lah bro,I'm not worked up.For what sia?Bus companies doesnt even pay me single cents..But as what vicamour and sbst275 said BBT should be handed to SBST..for a start.Let KJDEP control only CCK & BPJ and i'm sure the service can be improved due to excessive buses from BBT services right?At least for the sake of competitiveness..Alright?Peace out!

  looks like last trains will be extended to depart from town at 0035hrs, 25min later than current schedule.

  IMHO Premium or Express service should have at least 2 trips per operation..Its an alternative to the sardine packed Trains..I'm not surprised if theres more Premium service also add PM trips too,599 another potential,Seen before fully seated.585 also another candidate
