So you mean that "399" will be displayed as the front desto? And how are passengers going to know since the poster does not mention about "399"?Originally posted by SBS9818A:Sv. 399, which is the River Hongbao service. -
It wlil not be shown at the desto. Perhaps it's a code to help SBST identify the buses during River Angpow Shuttle.Originally posted by tranquilice:So you mean that "399" will be displayed as the front desto? And how are passengers going to know since the poster does not mention about "399"?
Just like NR1 showing "S001", NR2 showing "S002" and so on. -
No, front desto will display "RIVER HONGBAO 2004" and Sv. 399 is merely the SBST identification code.Originally posted by tranquilice:So you mean that "399" will be displayed as the front desto? And how are passengers going to know since the poster does not mention about "399"? -

I see. So how do you get to known all these code? Any other code in use?Originally posted by SBS9818A:No, front desto will display "RIVER HONGBAO 2004" and Sv. 399 is merely the SBST identification code. -
Sorry for the NiteRider,
only NR1, NR5, NR7 will be operated with frequency of 40-45 mins. -
Svc 399 code is also shown on the bus ticket.Originally posted by SBS9818A:No, front desto will display "RIVER HONGBAO 2004" and Sv. 399 is merely the SBST identification code.
-
Not sure, Sv. 399 is printed on the ticket if you pay in cash.Originally posted by tranquilice:I see. So how do you get to known all these code? Any other code in use? -
Regarding services during CNY, service 96 is not operational on first 2 days of CNY, why are services 179 and 199 still operational on these 2 days?
And should SBST just operate service 95A (to NUH and back) instead of service 95 on these 2 days? -
There's hostels in NTU itself.Originally posted by tranquilice:Regarding services during CNY, service 96 is not operational on first 2 days of CNY, why are services 179 and 199 still operational on these 2 days?

95 151 is supposed to provide the alternative from NUS. -
NUS has hostels too.Originally posted by service_238:There's hostels in NTU itself.
95 151 is supposed to provide the alternative from NUS.
But there will be very little demand. -
how come NiteOwl does not operate 16M, 89M, 162M and 181M? i thought they said they will operate on eves of X'mas NY and CNY only when they withdrawn them.. can someone verify this info..Originally posted by th1988:Last NEL train leaves CNT at 0200 (HBF and PGL).

and it is also not logical that NR services don't run on weekend schedule.. but if it is then too bad.. -
Tamago,
Pls refer to my later reply, only NR 1, NR 5, NR 7 will be operated at 45-60 mins frequency. -
179 also provides links to Jurong West Extn where bus services are badly needed.

I remembered on 2003 CNY eve, SBST did operate NiteOwl 16M, 89M, 162M and 181M.Originally posted by ^tamago^:how come NiteOwl does not operate 16M, 89M, 162M and 181M? i thought they said they will operate on eves of X'mas NY and CNY only when they withdrawn them.. can someone verify this info..

Alternatives are 192, 193, 242, 243, 255 and 257.Originally posted by th1988:179 also provides links to Jurong West Extn where bus services are badly needed. -
Perhaps they are thinking that the demand at Marina Centre and Orchard Road are not high.Originally posted by ^tamago^:yeah i noe and i read the press release but i jus find it unconventional.. isn't it a eve of public holiday? how come Tibs is not running weekend schedule? probably it doesn't require an answer..
Also note that there are NO NiteOwl or NR services at Chinatown.
