I think they compete more than cooperate.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Looks like they are insisting there is no demand and instead, pushing passengers to a rival's service. Now who says they don't cooperate?
I agree with SBS9818A. Very seldom we see operator A suggesting passengers to take bus routes of operator B.Originally posted by tranquilice:I think they compete more than cooperate.
Service 968 is a suggested route only.Originally posted by Ah Ma:i tout bedok to woodlands oni 168 gt more bus go meh?
How much cooperation between the 2 operators?Originally posted by off_service:I agree with SBS9818A. Very seldom we see operator A suggesting passengers to take bus routes of operator B.
Service 168 is the only Bedok - Woodlands route currently.Originally posted by Ah Ma:i tout bedok to woodlands oni 168 gt more bus go meh?
Originally posted by service_238:It will just be like another service 74 or 151. Why does version 3 express along Jln TPY?

Do you guys think this service is able to fetch profits or is this service viable? I'd love to hear your comments[/b]
You never know what they are doing behind our backs. I won't be suprised if SBST CEO is good friends with Tan Hup Foi and they actually talk business together.Originally posted by tranquilice:How much cooperation between the 2 operators?
Any possibilities of merging?Originally posted by SBS9818A:You never know what they are doing behind our backs. I won't be suprised if SBST CEO is good friends with Tan Hup Foi and they actually talk business together.
Oh all bus services under SBST and all train under SMRT? No way man, if the former happens there goes the bus network.Originally posted by tranquilice:Any possibilities of merging?![]()
But SBST controls majority of the bus network.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Oh all bus services under SBST and all train under SMRT? No way man, if the former happens there goes the bus network.
That's why I said if SBST takes over all bus operations we're screwed. They'd probably mismanage it.Originally posted by tranquilice:But SBST controls majority of the bus network.
We are already screwed right now.Originally posted by SBS9818A:That's why I said if SBST takes over all bus operations we're screwed. They'd probably mismanage it.
So we'd be more screwed if this takes place.Originally posted by tranquilice:We are already screwed right now.See what it did to NEL rationalisation.
Never mind if this takes place. We are used to it.Originally posted by SBS9818A:So we'd be more screwed if this takes place.
To cut the journey time by 5-6 min..Originally posted by tranquilice:It will just be like another service 74 or 151. Why does version 3 express along Jln TPY?
Let SBST & TIBS/SMRT is what are they now.Merging,No way!Originally posted by tranquilice:Never mind if this takes place. We are used to it.
It has to depend on where you are, can you take a Tibs bus in Pasir Ris, Toa Payoh or Bishan if you are bored of taking SBST buses?Originally posted by carbikebus:Let SBST & TIBS/SMRT is what are they now.Merging,No way!
Simple Examples,If i'm bored with SBST buses,I can take TIBS,If i'm bored of this both,There's always SMRT & NEL trains,vice-versa.
TPY has Sv. 966 and Sv. 985. Bishan has Sv. 851, 852, 855, 980, 167.Originally posted by tranquilice:It has to depend on where you are, can you take a Tibs bus in Pasir Ris, Toa Payoh or Bishan if you are bored of taking SBST buses?
