But for some services its quite pointless. For example Sv 403 and Sv. 354 don't need guides.Originally posted by tranquilice:In my opinion, every service should has its own guide, no matter how short the route is. -
9818,
all trunk and JIS have service guides ever since its inception in 1999/ 2000.
As for 354, feeder services do not have any service guides. -
Of course I know that. I'm just referring to tranquilice's post.Originally posted by th1988:9818,

All trunk had service guides? How about Svc 11 191 400+ ?? I didnt get to see any svc guide from that serviceOriginally posted by th1988:9818,

There was the e version of the Sv guides 3 years back. However it is taken off by SBS.
11, 191 does not get services guides are common as many Int does not bother asking captains to put Sv guides on their buses. By right, Sv Guides should be on every service not just high demand services as this are value added Svs. -
So everything want to know just go to the information board or ask the staff?Originally posted by SBS9818A:But for some services its quite pointless. For example Sv 403 and Sv. 354 don't need guides.
In your example, although services 354 and 403 have short routes, but they have high demands during the weekends, many passengers would appreciate it if there are guides. -
SBST and Tibs seem to release delayed guides when a new service is introduced or existing service amended.
When I went to WRI on service 966 first day of service, there was none. And service 103 updated guide came days later after the amendment. -
I took the service 966 guide days before it commences service. However, I noticed that the guides ran out very fast. Perhaps they did not refill at the racks.Originally posted by tranquilice:SBST and Tibs seem to release delayed guides when a new service is introduced or existing service amended.

I think feeder services and Townlink services should also have guides since a bus service guide is supposed to inform the route which a bus service travels anyway.
-
True but Townlink Services doesnt really need guides as they serve the neighbourhood and they can be covered inside the Town Guide instead of a service guide. Moreover these services are flat-fare.
-
Talking abt this,
by right a SBS bus should have a slot for trunk service guides, 1-2 slot for town guides and a slot for feedback form. However the town guide can be ommitted.
As for service guides, the town guide too have a list of services from the int eg TPY there will be 8, 26, 28, 31, 73, 88, 90, 139, 142, 143, 145, 155, 157, 159, 163 listed with sechematic details. -
Update:
Service 56 Guides are out. There's still some left on the racks. I managed to take a stack of them..
Daryl I thought u'd be the first to know abt this? -
JIS buses are flat-fare and yet they have guides.Originally posted by service_238:True but Townlink Services doesnt really need guides as they serve the neighbourhood and they can be covered inside the Town Guide instead of a service guide. Moreover these services are flat-fare. -
Wait, 1985 what are you talking abt?
JIS are distance related services just that fares range from $0.58- $0.98 and $0.70-$1.10 for cash. If you don't believe, check SBS webiste. -
JIS can mean Jurong Industrial Services (ie. 246, 249 and 25x) or former Jurong Island Services (ie. 711 to 713). I think he's referring to the latter.Originally posted by th1988:Wait, 1985 what are you talking abt?

oh sorry..then i remembered wrongly... Still, the main purpose of a bus service guide is not supposed to tell you how much you're supposed to pay for a bus ride but instead it should be to help passengers be able to be sure of their journey.
