Now I see your point. You are looking into classification of districts as done by LTA and not looking it geographically like the rest of us.Originally posted by th1988:You want to know why?
Look in this way, yes Bt Batok is considered West. But that LTA treats it North, otherwise it wouldn't be given to Tibs.
Tibs needs to take over CCK anf Bt Batok "in order to fulfill residents needs"
By the way, I don't think Bt Batok/Bt Panjang was given to TIBS in exchange for Sengkang/Punggol because it was classified North districts by LTA. Anyone can back that claim?
Cheers and warm regards -

This CCK/BBT and SKG/PUN is an exchange programme. Otherwise SBST will have shortage of buses while TIBS will have excess buses. -
Tibs lose the bid to NEL, so Tibs had to give up Sengkang/Punggol to SBST, while SBST had to give up CCK and Bt Batok to Tibs. It's like areas to areas exchange.Originally posted by Superbus:Now I see your point.

Yes, I'm aware of that. But th1988 pointed out that CCK/BB/BP was handed over to TIBS because CCK/BB/BP was considered a North district by LTA. Is that the real reason for the exchange, apart from the NEL reason?Originally posted by tranquilice:Tibs lose the bid to NEL, so Tibs had to give up Sengkang/Punggol to SBST, while SBST had to give up CCK and Bt Batok to Tibs.

No, I don't think so, if it is, Bt Batok and CCK should be handed over together with Bt Panjang.Originally posted by Superbus:Yes, I'm aware of that.

Well exchanges or not,They are still the same "shirts" but with different names.

Bukit Panjang was handed over as of the WDL Extn prior to its opening in 1996. The Tibs takeover was announced in 1994.Originally posted by tranquilice:No, I don't think so, if it is, Bt Batok and CCK should be handed over together with Bt Panjang.
As for CCK and Bt Batok, it is taken over as it is the next "northern" new town as they have to get a swap.
But why swap? -
The handover of CCK/BB was merely a swap for SK/PG services. Nothing to do with geographics.Originally posted by Superbus:Yes, I'm aware of that.

I believe that the Bt Panjang handover has nothing to do with the Woodlands MRT extension.Originally posted by th1988:Bukit Panjang was handed over as of the WDL Extn prior to its opening in 1996. The Tibs takeover was announced in 1994.
As for CCK and Bt Batok, it is taken over as it is the next "northern" new town as they have to get a swap.
But why swap? -
But the service is to link up places to MRT stn and complement the heavy corridor of the MRT.Originally posted by iamgoondu:Yishun to Toa Payoh? Isn't it better to travel by MRT?
This also gives SMRT a run for their money as of the 7 mins frequency (Off Peak) -
It has, check at Tibs e-siteOriginally posted by tranquilice:I believe that the Bt Panjang handover has nothing to do with the Woodlands MRT extension. -
Yes, MRT is faster. For WDL to TPY I'd take Sv. 966, only 18 mins!Originally posted by iamgoondu:Yishun to Toa Payoh? Isn't it better to travel by MRT? -
But what ever it is, I want to give SMRT a run for their money.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Yes, MRT is faster. For WDL to TPY I'd take Sv. 966, only 18 mins!
As for 966, 18 mins can reach TPY from WDL? It take at least 35 mins. -
You obviously haven't taken TIB 425R, TIB 972C and others. Maybe you haven't even taken the service AT ALL!Originally posted by th1988:But what ever it is, I want to give SMRT a run for their money.

I just went to Tibs website, from WDL Int to Trellis Twr takes 42 mins! Obviously the bus is moving more than 60km/hr as the dist is abt 20kmOriginally posted by SBS9818A:Timetables are not meant to be accurate. They are only a ROUGH estimate. -

Distance is more than 20km and since the bus can only move up to 60km/hr. Obviously the limiter is tampered.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Timetables are NOT meant to be accurate, they are merely a ROUGH estimate.
Even if there is timetable, the total jorney time is 65 min. Trellis Twr to MP is 22 mins.
If the timetable is not accurate, tell this to Tibs. Tibs won't believe you as it is a difference of 60% of time.
I mean look at maths, if dist is 21km, then it takes 21 mins. What abt Traffic lights, BS stopping? -
