"marathon" bus routes = 'cross island routes'.

The government mentioned before that it is ban-ing such routes.

ok. well, I started writing here 2 months ago. Yes. I was ever here before. That was in 2009/2010 during the time when the new Boon Lay Bus Interchange was about to open. I remembered there was once I suggested re-routing some bus routes to make 243 go to Pioneer MRT... I was "jurongresident", by the way. After that, I don't think I have written anything here, until 2 months ago.

Future bus service -
Christopher Tan. (2013, December 1). Making buses more like trains. The Straits Times. Retrieved from http://ride.asiaone.com/
Plans to raise public bus service standards are gaining momentum. A project to install new-generation farecard readers is almost done, and another to put electronic destination signs on board buses is around the corner.
The new farecard readers replace the previous ones installed 10 years ago. The replacement, involving all 4,500 buses, costs $32 million, said the Land Transport Authority.
Besides having larger screens, the new units show the amount deducted, as well as card balance and distance travelled. They also let commuters know when to tap EZ-Link cards when they are disembarking - as doing so will ensure the right fare is deducted. The replacement exercise started in August last year. By the end of next month, all public buses will have the new readers.
"They are easier for commuters to read, especially senior citizens," an LTA spokesman said.
The spokesman added that the authority is planning to install electronic destination information panels on public buses.
The proposed system will make buses more like trains, which display the name of each approaching station on LED panels.
Similarly, the bus version may display a landmark or housing estate at each bus-stop. This will help commuters who are unfamiliar with areas they are travelling to.
The Straits Times understands it will be a more sophisticated version of what operator SMRT Corp has on its bus fleet; and is likely to be rolled out as part of a centralised bus management system that is being planned.
SBS Transit spokesman Tammy Tan said: "Destination information on board buses is something we are exploring with the LTA as part of their next-generation fleet management system."
The satellite-tracked management system will give commuters real-time bus arrival information.
It will also allow the LTA to measure the punctuality of buses accurately, as part of an incentive framework that rewards operators for meeting or exceeding service standards, and penalising them for failure to do so.
A pilot scheme involving buses on 25 routes - or about 10 per cent of the total routes - will kick off next month.
The fleet management system will also allow changes to make the industry more competitive.
Regular bus commuter Tan Pang Soon said the centralised bus fleet management system "should enable LTA to have better control... and ought to eliminate any lapses in service deliveries".
The 24-year-old university student added that the new farecard reader "is indeed better" than the previous one.
He said the readouts could stay on for a bit longer, "but I suppose a balance has to be struck" between that and efficiency.
Actually, TVmobile was a good experiment done to improve bus services but it shut down since 1 January 2010. In future, should there be another idea to have television in buses, perhaps there should be silent shows with only motion pictures. This way, those who want to watch TV can still be entertained, while those who don't want to watch TV would not be disturbed by the noise from the TV.
From the news article published last month, it seems that in future, bus services would basically be similar to train services and the buses would have features currently only found in trains, such as having Destination information on board buses.
- It would be good if there can also be announcements made for bus stop descriptions, that can be played inside the bus, as the bus approaches the bus stop.
- eg: *chime* Boon Lay Bus Interchange. Bus service ends here. Thank you for travelling with SBS Transit. Boon Lay Bus Interchange. Please mind the gap. +door opens+
- eg: *chime* Next station, Jurong West Stadium._____*chime* Jurong West Stadium. Please mind the gap. +door opens+
- eg: *chime* Doors closing *ding ding ding ding ding....* +door closes+
- That would be cool.

Next stop:
- (confirmed) Bus contracts model in our Public Bus system.
- (confirmed) Electronic destination signs on board our Public Buses.
- (confirmed) Satellite-tracked management system which will give commuters real-time bus arrival information.
- (likely) More bus lanes.
- (possible) Background music at bus stops - inspired by the new Downtown MRT Line.
- (possible)[from iBus] Announcements played in buses.
- (possible)[from iBus] Bus-version of STARIS. (consider the buses are deployed to various bus services, I think it is better to have LED versions, which can be changed regularly - similar to bus number plate)
- (possible)[from iBus] Priority at traffic junctions - a feature of Bus Rapid Transit.
- (possible)[ahead of iBus] Tactile flooring and signages for those who are visually impaired.
-
Next stop:Bus full even after 2 stops cause 6.9million
Next stop:Fare to be risen again cause profits not enough for Pay And Pay

SBS6350B, SBS6366G, SBS6400R are still spare. POssibly a new svc.

new bus-stops erected along Anchorvale St-the stretch where lots of HDB flats are almost ready. can expect new or amended bus routes there. At Sentul Cres/Sumang Link/Punggol Walk area, some new hdb flats are almost done. either a new bus route at Punggol or they may re-route sv 43 to ply along Sumang Link.
