Tibs to operate bus service to Johor Bahru
-
how about name this route form woodlands to johor 967 ?
-
I like 968.Originally posted by alantanchunshyan:how about name this route form woodlands to johor 967 ?

I think it will be close to something like 170, only that the front digit would be changed to 6,7,8,9. Maybe 670.
-
It would have to be in the 9x series.
-
My prediction is either 950 or 990
-
Sv. 999 looks nice.Originally posted by service_238:My prediction is either 950 or 990 -
I would not be surprised if they used service names like "JB1".

It wont be possible to have two of them together, because it would then become Service 970, which already existsOriginally posted by SBS9818A:It would have to be in the 9x series.
But anyway, I still think it would be either Service 950 or 990, though Service 968 sound nice to me!

990 might be the number TIBS want to renumber 190 if it has plans in the future.Originally posted by TIB822C:It wont be possible to have both of them together, because it would then become Service 970, which already exists But anyway, I still think it would be either Service 950 or 990, though Service 968 sound nice to me! -
I'll predict they use TIBS950 bus number..which i dun really like. remind sme of my first DAF ride on 950 which was real cool in 1989.
anyhow preidct also that they will be using 43x 44x and 45x buses on the "950".

As currently most Woodlands trunk services are 96x, there's high chance that the new service may be numbered 967 or 968. When new trunk services are introduced in Woodlands, they started with 96x (eg. 962, 963, 965, 966, 969) instead of other numbers. Guess Tibs doesn't really care whether it's a local route or JB route, for the numbering.

Wonder where the berth will be.

Most likely.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Wonder where the berth will be. Next to Sv. 966? -
Actually IMO, WDL has not enough space to expand further.Originally posted by tranquilice:Most likely. -
To me, there is space for expansion. The space is currently used for alighting.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Actually IMO, WDL has not enough space to expand further. -
I was thinking of this...
If Woodlands has no more space to accomodate new services, how about operating from Yishun instead? (Yishun - Larkin)
This service can be operated to Larkin via the 3 northern TIBS estates before going to JB.
-
No,no,no...Operate from Choa Chu Kang instead...It has a lack of bus serviceOriginally posted by service_238:I was thinking of this...

Maybe they should merge 941 & 945Originally posted by off_service:
2. Service changesSome services may be merged into one service as intratown (do it the SBST style?) to release buses. If they do this, I think most of the services will be from AMK/WDL depots.
and
Also Merge 920 & 921...
But if they do that, they will earn less, because the lesser routes they have, the lesser money they make. -
Then it will duplicate SBST 170.Originally posted by cck_190:No,no,no...Operate from Choa Chu Kang instead...It has a lack of bus service
Cheers and warm regards -
Perhaps they might extend Sv. 903 to go across the causeway.Originally posted by service_238:I was thinking of this...

from the newspaper report, the Malaysian authorities only approved the service to start from Woodlands to Kota Raya terminal.. in fact, they would have already submitted the route details.. if you have taken SBST 170, you would have seen the whole route's details of every stop somewhere on the advertisement slots along the aisle, duly signed by the Malaysian authorities..Originally posted by service_238:I was thinking of this...

will bendy bus be deployed for this route?
-
When the demand is high and the Malaysian authority approves it.Originally posted by alantanchunshyan:will bendy bus be deployed for this route? -
Unlikely. Has Sv. 170 ever operated any DD? No.Originally posted by alantanchunshyan:will bendy bus be deployed for this route?
