The 140 express would you agree to extend to MBFC coz to ORC already have 105 and the very freq 143? 140 E full day or peak svc?

full days, and 143 and 105 should have no problem as 140 express non-stop along newton road to MBS will be better and loop back to AMK express along newton and thomson road enter jin toa payoh where it start to drop and pick up, TP lor 2 , toa payoh centre , toa payoh lor 4 like 105 go to bishan road like 88 to end at AMK hub.

Guys, our friend who preserved SBS9168S needs help!
http://www.leylandsociety.co.uk/z_lastleyland.htmThe Last Leyland (Urgent Appeal)
The Leyland Society have been approached by Mr Dave Rogers, the owner of "The Last Leyland" to assist him in the preservation of this important landmark in Leyland vehicle production.
Apparently HMRC are demanding a payment of £3,000.00 by way of import duty on the vehicle before it will be released into the hands of its owner - more importantly the duty has to be paid in 30 days (probably nearer 20 as this is written) and while the Society are somewhat "ham-strung" by the terms and conditions of being a Charity the Comm
ittee
as a whole would urge you to consider making a donation to ensure
this vehicle is saved into the worthy hands of Dave Rogers.Donations should be paid to Mr D.C. Rogers,

Also reported in OMB
Last weeks edition of 'Coach and Bus Week' included an article about Dave Roger's latest acquisition, the last ever Leyland Olympian to be built, SBS Transit's SBS 9168S.
Dave is now faced with a bill of almost £3,000 in import duty as according to HM Revenue and Customs the bus does not meet its criteria for being a collectors piece of historic interest. An urgent appeal has been made on the Leyland Society website, just follow the link for further details.

there is a bit different on how this route 140 semi-express is operated is you compare to 128. 128 is run parrell with the MRT system. if you look at what i said. i think 128 can withdraw. last time the toa payoh route it too long. 140 serve bishan st 22 and toa payoh lor 4 and centre like 88 and 105. and make it way to orchard area like the old 140 and this extend to MBS area and loop back. express sector is like the old 140 before MRT coming to operate. in fact LTA should not even need to remove 140, 141, 138 and 168. all because of fear factor of MRT lose money. 128 is a political bus service poorly plan and timing is way off.

any where this was some old semi-express bus route 140,141,138 and by the way 168 is it a semi-express route to orchard road in the 80 and 90? use to operate before mrt time. alway full of people

128 is running parallel with the MRT system and is allowed. 140 serve Bishan Street 22 and Toa Payoh Lorong 4/Centre which is a good explanation. Can be extended to Marina Bay Sands and look back.

True, with the shrinking of new aircon interchanges from those of yesteryears, an estate will probably need 2 areas for bus to terminate...

You n i know that 128 was to be cancelled after the 6month trial due to unacceptable ridership but NEW BUS PLANNING authority over rided the decision and kept it there but there was no continuty of having new bus routes to run parrallel to train lines to ease the crowded trains...

problem is ppl are so used to getting to the place fast with the trains, so they are less willing to take the buses.... if u stay toa payoh, mrt took 6 mins to go orchard station. how fast can sv143 reach orchard road? or even with the so call sv140 still around, it will take at least 15-20 mins to reach orchard road during peak hour...

128 was to be cancelled after the 6 month trial, but after the trial many commuters observed that parallel bus services should be semi-express to follow like premium services. Best bet is to utilise it as "express" bus services, and grow with it.

See, there is a reason why svcs like 23 and 857 still have high ridership.
They do duplicate the train. BUT they run express.
AND you get comfortable seats.
And so that's why I hope SG can do more of these express svcs.
It's good especially if the city - suburb journey require a number of MRT transfers eg. Orchard - Sengkang. Maybe revive 501?

Ok if you are living at TPY MRT.. But if u stay at Trellis towers for instance, taking 143 makes more sense than bus and MRT.
Similarly, if you stay near sing Ming, taking 162 to orchard would make more sense than 52/410 to Bishan and then MRT.

Agree that 23, 857 have high ridership because of express nature of routes. But heavily disagree that 857 have comfortable seats. Really? With 70 pax cramming into a MAN, by no way it is comfortable. Yet people choose to take 857 from YCK rd than take bus to YCK MRT and change.

LTA needs to modify 128 route, then it will be super success. No point making it call at AMK and Bishan.. Rather it should go express without calling at MRT stops.
proposal: AMK Depot, AMK ave 9, AMK ave 4, AMK ave 3, AMK ave 1, AMK ave 6, Bishan st 22, express to Scott's plaza and then to Shenton way. Confirmed bus will get good number of pax and might even need DDs.
