Tibs numbering system
-
Hi people. Do you think that Tibs should change it's current numbering system? Example:
Service 858 (Woodlands - Yishun - Airport):
This service is a Woodlands service. Should it be renumbered to 96x? For example service 968.
Service 989 (CCK - Bt Batok - Airport):
Sembawang services are getting the 98x numberings (980, 981). Do you think the CCK services should be renumbered?
Trunk service:
67 >> 957
190 >> 950
188 >> 958
172 >> 952
175 >> 955
989 >> 959
Feeder / Intratown:
300 >> 930
302 >> 932
307 >> 937
Bt Batok Trunk services:
61 >> 861
77 >> 867 or 877
106 >> 866
189 >> 869 or 889
173 >> 863 or 873
Give me your thoughts and comments. Thanks!

woodlands also
169 -- 989
187 -- 967
sbs168 - 39
sbs 161 - 116 -
The following are my suggestions:
Yishun:- (80X, 81X, 85X, 86X)
171 --> 850
Sembawang:- (98X, 99X)
167 --> 982
Woodlands:- (90X, 91X, 95X, 96X)
169 --> 952
178 --> 953
187 --> 951
858 --> 950
925 --> 958
926 --> 959
Note that 925 to 927 are renumbered to avoid confusion as Bukit Panjang feeder services are 920 and 921.
Choa Chu Kang:- (87X, 88X, 93X)
67 --> 870
172 --> 874
175 --> 880
185 --> 875
188 --> 872
190 --> 871
300 --> 931
302 --> 932
307 --> 930
927 --> 881
989 --> 873
Bukit Panjang:- (92X, 97X)
75 --> 974
176 --> 971
177 --> 975
180 --> 972
184 --> 973
Bukit Batok:- (89X, 94X)
61 --> 890
77 --> 892
106 --> 891
173 --> 893
189 --> 894 -
Yishun
171 --> 971 (This number is suitable when it visits Bukit Panjang) =P
Sembawang
It remains unknown. I predict that it may be 86x.
167 --> 987
980 --> 980
981 --> 981 (The bus service is similar to Svc 964 and if there's a new Sembawang interchange, the routes of Svc 856 and 169 may be amended)
Woodlands
169 --> 966
178 --> 968
187 --> 967
858 --> 858 (This number is NICE when it goes to the airport via Yishun!)
920, 921, 925 and 926 remains unknown :-X
Choa Chu Kang
67 --> 897
172 --> 892
175 --> 175 (This number is NICE when it goes to Lim Chu Kang!) :-X
185 --> 895
188 --> 898
190 --> 890
300 --> 931
302 --> 932
307 --> 930
989 --> 899
Bukit Panjang
75 --> 975
176 --> 976
177 --> 977
180 --> 978
184 --> 974
Bukit Batok
61 --> 61 (This number seems to owned by SBST) :-X
77 --> 957
106 --> 106 (This number seems to owned by SBST) :-X
173 --> 953
189 --> 959 -
Oh my god! If TIBS is going to renumber the services that way, it might cause a little confusion for the commuters to know which bus service is the former bus service. (i.e. 106 --> 8XX, etc)

I agree that TIBs should renumber their numbers , well thats a good point that the re-numbering might confuse the commutors .
-
SBST always put up service plates at bus-stops to inform passengers of the renumbered services. Maybe Tibs can follow, however Tibs must renumber their services one area by one area.Originally posted by SBS9816E:Oh my god!

It would cause confusion for the first few weeks, especially for old folk but I also don't see the need to renumber perfectly good service numbers just for the sake of "blending in with the TIBS identity"
-
I think they should renumber services that are formally from SBST. Imagine a traveller who came here previously and see a service in SBS colour and now he sees it in Tibs colour. I think they would be even more confused.
-
I don't think the general public are concerned, as long as the services goes the same route and they can take it home, that's their mentality.
-
honestly, it doesn't matter. if tibs want to re-number, they would have done it long ago. think they only want to renumber feeder services

wat matter most is there is bus to reach our destination can already. The bus numbering system, let the bus company and the parliment to do the job! -
