Sentiments exactly. I had experience this before. In other words pax from airport to city is actually not that much... and for those who wanna know the journey time..Originally posted by delonchew:Actually, the weirdest thing about 36 is that the main demand does not begin at the airport. Instead, it is from Marine Parade to Suntec/Orchard. From airport, the bus is at most 60% sitting. Well, these are my observations and might not necessarily be true.
Yes I am quite aware that demand out of the airport is only average, who wants to get on a public bus with large and heavy bags except backpackers?Originally posted by delonchew:Actually, the weirdest thing about 36 is that the main demand does not begin at the airport.

so what do you think of my two routes?[/b]
What I mean is, (look at your route again) service 971 after stopping along CCK Dr opposite Yew Tee MRT, the next stop is along CCK St 62 outside block 625. How is this possible?Originally posted by cck_190:It's where the bus stops are situated
What's VSO mark 2s?Originally posted by xin1jun2:hhh cannot be done. ZYX tridents all based at AMK / BRAM . and as u know ZYX51 is op by HG and SL.
the buses u do see on 51 are VSO mark 2s, Merc0.500LEGs, Merc0405NH, Merc0405NHG.
ZYXbus
so it would be for 987 from cck interchange,choa chu kang way ,choa chu kang rd and then bukit panjang rd.The rest of the route would be the same.Originally posted by tranquilice:For service 987, why not make it CCK - Bedok?
I beg to differ.Originally posted by tranquilice:I fully agree.
80% load? Of all the times I took service 36 from the airport in the afternoons, the loads are not that fantastic.Originally posted by TIB1186Z:I beg to differ.
Try the times when plenty of regional flights, and when flights from Europe/Australia arrive ( ie 1600-1900 ). You will be amazed that those ang moh backpackers do haul their big packs on board, though many now take the train ( thank goodness!! ) and Singapore homebound travellers. The load can reach 80% at times.
I have taken 36 in the mornings and evenings but I have never seen so high a load. But then again, I don't always take 36 so I cannot really conclude. On the few times I have taken 36 from Airport, I see mostly airport workers taking the bus and no tourists.Originally posted by tranquilice:80% load?

Originally posted by AdAptAliS:Joo Chiat Road from Changi Road could be too narrow for a bus to pass through. Also, the many vehicles parked along the sides of Joo Chiat Road is probably going to make it worse.
Punggol to Upper East Coast
Punggol Central - Punggol East - Sengkang East Drive - Upper Serangoon Road - Hougang Ave 7 - Defu Ave 1 - Hougang Ave 3 - Eunos Link - Jln Eunos - Changi Rd - [b]Joo Chiat Rd - Marine Parade Road - Bedok South Ave 1 - Upper East Coast Rd - Upper East Coast Terminal
Highlighted area for return trip use Joo Chiat Road - Dunman Road -Tanjong Katong Road - Sims Ave - Jln Eunos
Is this feasible? Mainly to connect north east residents to eunos, marine parade and east coast park.[/b]
