Latest news: New Tibs service to be introduced.
-
After seeing the new berth being built at Woodlands Regional Interchange, I emailed Tibs to enquired about the berth. This is the reply I got:
Dear Mr Lim
Thanks for your email message. We are pleased to inform you that we would be introducing a new service soon. More information will be made in due course.
Have a nice day.
Warmest Regards

Most likely a 1-for-1 for Sv. 39

No it is not. 969 alone is enough to compete with both 168 and 39. Smily_Volgren has some first hand information regarding the new service. Ask him if you want to find out more.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Most likely a 1-for-1 for Sv. 39 -
True. Since regulations were relaxed TIBS can now serve a destination SEPERATE from the competitor's service, eg it can launch a service from Woodlands - JE, etc.Originally posted by AntiDennisLance:No it is not. 969 alone is enough to compete with both 168 and 39.

Our fellow "Superbus" spotted a Nissan Diesel training bus in Siglap. Speculated that if this is a training bus for the new service, the service will serve Siglap / Katong area. -
Anything can happen. Perhaps an extension of Sv. 853 full-time to Upp. East Coast Ter? Let's just wait and see lah..Originally posted by off_service: Our fellow "Superbus" spotted a Nissan Diesel training bus in Siglap.

A TIBS Nissan Diesel Training Bus was seen at Siglap Road/Upper East Coast Road junction at 2.45pm. The bus did not enter Upper East Coast Terminal, but instead follows Service 155 from Upp East Coast Rd to Siglap Link. Likely doing training for drivers of a future TIBS service from Woodlands to Siglap Link.
Cheers and warm regards -
But of all places why Siglap Link?Originally posted by Superbus:A TIBS Nissan Diesel Training Bus was seen at Siglap Road/Upper East Coast Road junction at 2.45pm.

don't think it's a new service to siglap.. yes, of all places, why siglap? and if they had wanted to have a new service, it's interesting why they used a full-berth area for jus one lane of queue (if u have seen the new berth itself) and not built a whole 3-lane queue.. probably a high-demand service.. could it be a service to johor?

Well, the service no has been confirmed. It's service 966, from Woodlands to Marine Parade. It bascially follows the route of 857 and 985 in a way as it travels via Jln Toa Payoh. Besides that, it travels via Still Rd, Still Rd South and Marine Parade. Hmmm, i don't know how this service will benefit me but hopefully, it benefits others. Ah, btw. It also plies jln eunos. I certainly look forward very much to the launch of the new service.

Wait, is it published on TIBS website, or anywhere in WRI? I was there today and didn't see a thing. Yes, I must agree, why, of all places, Marine Parade?Originally posted by kuang:Well, the service no has been confirmed. It's service 966, from Woodlands to Marine Parade.

Yes, the queue railings really looks damn wierd, just one queue for such a huge berth.Originally posted by ^tamago^:don't think it's a new service to siglap.. yes, of all places, why siglap? and if they had wanted to have a new service, it's interesting why they used a full-berth area for jus one lane of queue (if u have seen the new berth itself) and not built a whole 3-lane queue.. probably a high-demand service.. could it be a service to johor?
