Because of the flyover. What to do?Originally posted by Smiley Volgren:This is interesting... My favourite service is Tibs Svc 184A. It is very special to me as this bendy bus goes into Ngee Ann Polytechnic campus. The drama of Svc 184A wowed me with 90 angle bending! And even can be able to turn right to the bus bay where Svc 74A parked outside Blk 73. Cool... However, Service 184A is gone after 17 March 2003

That flyover took years to built with huge sum spent on it. But then, I don't see it help ease traffic in anyway. That part of Bt Timah is still having the same old jam.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Because of the flyover. What to do? -
This is Singapore what. Government love to waste taxpayer money on all sorts of pointless infrastructure. Like the flyover at Bt. Timah, and Braddell.Originally posted by off_service:That flyover took years to built with huge sum spent on it. But then, I don't see it help ease traffic in anyway.

Darryl, of course... Will be nice if Svc 184A ply along the flyover before stopping at the bus-stop just like what Svc 74A did although both of them did not go into Ngee Ann Polytechnic campus.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Because of the flyover. What to do?
However, they deployed 12 bendy buses on Svc 184 during morning peak hour and the time interval is every 4 minutes. Much better than 2001 which time interval of 184 is usually 6 ~ 8 minutes. During off peak period, there were only 9 bendy buses.
I hope Svc 184A will come back
Only way....bomb the fence and allow Svc 184A into Np campus!

You request them to find a loophole, otherwise no choice.Originally posted by Smiley Volgren:Darryl, of course... Will be nice if Svc 184A ply along the flyover before stopping at the bus-stop just like what Svc 74A did although both of them did not go into Ngee Ann Polytechnic campus.

Hey there everyone!~Originally posted by kuang:Personally, some of my favourite bus services are:
970- Bt Panjang to Shenton Way
I like its route as it travels via Hillview, Jalan Jurong Kechil, Sixth Avenue and passes through Chinatown before terminating at Shenton Way.
168- Woodlands to Bedok
This is also another one of my fav routes especially when it travels along SLE and TPE. The crowd also lessens when the bus reaches Bedok Reservoir.
61- Bt Batok to Eunos
I admit this service's route is damn freaking long and almost takes 2 hours to complete the journey but if u really want to catch a summarized view of the interesting sights in Singapore, this is one service to explore.
67- Choa Chu Kang to Tampines
Comparable to sv61, this service is also very interesting in route esepcially for the areas it covers like Bt Timah, Dunearn, Geylang and Bedok.
88- Pasir Ris to Toa Payoh
This is one heck of a multiple towns service. From Pasir Ris, the service passses through Punggol, Hougang, Ang Mo Kio and Toa Payoh.
Well, if i have anymore, i will update this column. Until then, bye!
Personally, my favourite bus services are as follows: Service 32, 65, 700 and 970...
Service 970 - Cheers!~ Though it is bit lengthy, it provides a direct link to Great World City straight from my house (don't ask me where
) and from my house straight to Outram Park MRT and Chinatown and also from Commonwealth MRT station to Block 12 and Sixth Avenue. And of course... Bukit Panjang Community Library!~
Service 700A - Cheers!~ It serves Orchard Road and Suntec City, both of where I love to go to!~
Service 32 - Cheers!~ It goes from my house to Redhill Station and of course, Queenstown and Bedok Community Library!~
Service 65 - Cheers!~ It can get me to Harbourfront Centre and Orchard Road from my house!~
I'll post here if I can think of more Cheers!~ -
989 CHANGI AIRPORT
-
yup, me likes 989 too... too bad it was removed...23 is another of my favourite... connects macpherson with tampines in about 20-25 minutes via the pie
-
For me,
its definitely 969,858,965.... great time savers!!
and svc 39, a bit long, but it has my fave "mk5" with friendly drivers who can really drive a Mk 3 -
Oh yah forgot
969 TAMPINES
Volgren O405Gs on weekends! Besides has TIB 959S. -

"MK5" is a nick name from some of us for Volvo MK4 DM3500. MK4 DM3500 is simply too long and like me, mistaken it last time, so just called it "MK5".Originally posted by oliver_yuen87:Mk5???!! -
PASIR RIS 88 TOA PAYOH
-
SBST 200. The long and windy road along South Bouna Vista provides a wonderful experiece. Besides most part of the journey are very green, like North Buona Vista, South Buona Vista and Pasir Panjang Road. I shall miss it if SBST decide to withdraw it when CCL started.

I would like TIBS 106 too, it provides a direct connection between HV and Orchard Rd, City Hall and Suntec. If traffic is light, the journey may take just under 15minutes to Taka.
However the long waiting times at times, and the sardine packed carriage counter the convenience.
Imagine assign a single carriage bus at 2100h (travelling at ORchard Boulevard at 2100h on Chingay Rehearsal night), the bus was bursted and commuters have to pack like sardine. TIBS might want to look into better bus deployment for TIBS 106. -

Now feeder service 334 also uses Superbuses.Originally posted by PT21:
Hi for me my fav bus service are Service 99, although it has a number of old VOs 3 axle but the entire estate service 99 buses are one of the best,
Service 242 are also my fav service because it is the first feeder service in Singapore to use Superbus. I can say that Service 242 is the only feeder service in S'pore with Superbus.(It is not a Townlink Service). -
Before the cutbacks to Suntec, all (or most) buses deploy for TIBS 106 are bendy.Originally posted by off_service:Tibs does not have enough bendies to go around.
Moreover, while on that packed single carriage at 2120h along Holland Road. I saw a quite an empty long bendy TIBS 106 plying along Holland Road towards Suntec.
A common sense will tell me that there shall have more commuters travel back homes from Suntec, Orchard Road. Problems lies on better bus deployment rather than insufficient bendies going around.
