what bus will be deployed on new service 966?
-
Bukit Panjang interchange also has the service 966 posters, but in smaller size.Originally posted by off_service:More for publicity purposes. SMRT Sembawang and Woodlands stations have the service 966 posters. I guess Yishun and Admiralty would have them also. -
Even City Hall Station has the Service 966 poster pasted on the notice board.
Cheers and warm regards -
The bus I took only got around 10 passengers for the whole journey. What time did you board the bus?Originally posted by SBS9818A:Publicity exercise lah. As predicted Sv. 966 fleet is full O405, with only one Volgren (TIB 972C). Loads are quite healthy for first day service, many of the buses had some standees.
Journey time from WDL - Marine Parade is 45 mins, faster than the estimated 1 hour. WDL - Jln TPY is about 20 mins. Looks like Sv. 966 will get O405Gs in due course, thanks to the loads. This turns out not to be another Sv. 985 after all. -
I first boarded TIB 972C at 1225 hrs from WRI. Bus was about half-full then. I next boarded 972C at Marine Parade around 1525 hrs, the bus was 3/4 full.Originally posted by off_service:The bus I took only got around 10 passengers for the whole journey. What time did you board the bus? -
That's alot. But the seating capacity of Volgren Mercs are lower.Originally posted by SBS9818A:I first boarded TIB 972C at 1225 hrs from WRI. Bus was about half-full then. I next boarded 972C at Marine Parade around 1525 hrs, the bus was 3/4 full. -
If I remember correctly TIB 456 actually left full both from WRI and Marine Parade.Originally posted by off_service:That's alot. But the seating capacity of Volgren Mercs are lower. -

Hey there everyone!~
Until now I only saw O.405s... But I think Scanias might be deployed on them too... 
I dunno about Bendies...

I think should be Sungei Kadut area because only service 925 is mentioned.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Wait, where exactly along Woodlands Rd? Turf Club there or Sungei Kadut area? -
You are welcome.Originally posted by bells:966 rocks! tried so many combi (bus to bus, train to bus, bus to train) to get from upper east coast road to woodlands road. 966 ends my search. bus 13 to still road, transfer to 966 and then to 925... all in all takes less than 1.5 hours including waiting time. thank you to alantan, sbs9818A and tranquilice for your replies and to tibs for this bus service!
Beside service 13, you can also take service 608 between Siglap Rd and Bedok South Ave 1, and transfer to service 966 at the only stop along Still Rd South. (Service 608 is a day service from Mondays to Saturdays only)
Alternatively, if you want to reach there by MRT, you can take service 608 (between Siglap Rd and Bedok South Ave 1) to Bedok station, or service 14 along the whole stretch of Upper East Coast Rd to Tanah Merah station. If you are near Temasek Pri/Sec School, you can also take service 229 to Bedok station. -
Note that all passengers are to alight from service 966 at the stop outside Parkway Parade, boarding is only allowed at the stop opposite Parkway Parade/outside Roxy Square 2 onwards.Originally posted by bells:966 rocks! tried so many combi (bus to bus, train to bus, bus to train) to get from upper east coast road to woodlands road. 966 ends my search. bus 13 to still road, transfer to 966 and then to 925... all in all takes less than 1.5 hours including waiting time. thank you to alantan, sbs9818A and tranquilice for your replies and to tibs for this bus service! -

Only on the launching of service. Now it mainly consists of Mercedes O405 OACs and CACs.Originally posted by tranquilice:MB 0405 Volgren (972C) is on this service too. -
Not perm, just for "show-off" purposes only.Originally posted by tranquilice:MB 0405 Volgren (972C) is on this service too. -

As usual, Mercedes O405s OAC/CAC.Originally posted by alantanchunshyan:anyone board 966 this week can tell me any changes in bus models used?thanks -
Why on earth a change except the occasional L113CRL or a U31RCN, which is unlikely.Originally posted by alantanchunshyan:anyone board 966 this week can tell me any changes in bus models used?thanks
