Pay Less, Take Non-air-con buses.
-
Does anyone want to pays less by taking non-aircon buses. The different is only 5 cents to 25 cents between the air-con and non air-con buses.
But the non air-con buses is only on SBST. -

For example, for some services with less than 50% AC buses like 151, it is not worth the time to wait for like 20minutes during non peak hours just for that fare savings. Even for svcs like 74 with a high frequency, one may not even be able to board it. -
NAC buses are hard to get today.

svc 74 has around 70%-80& or NAC buses. what I observed a few years ago. But I think they didn't change much recently. Furthermore, it is very frequent. Sometimes I really wonder why SBST thought commuters of svc 74 like NAC so much... b4 June 1998, it actually has only 20% of NAC...Originally posted by TIB1186Z:It isn't really worth the time to take NAC buses due to the time lost due to the waiting time for a NAC bus.

Sv 74 is mainly a student shuttle...and like the JIS services, SBS doesnt like dumping the good buses on them because the students are on concession fares.. -
nope. 74 has Vo2x left from AYBP only. maybe about only 7 buses. very little. i would say 30 percent.
meanwhile 90 is naturally 85 percent non air-con.
191 and 91 is full non air-con.

NAC buses are not that easy to get on svc 74 these days. SBST is better than TIBS , TIBS dump crappy lances on svc 852 which now has a permanent problem closing doors properly.Originally posted by leeJZ:70-80% NAC? When I was at Hougang recently, it seemed about 50-50....

I consider the VO2-Ax on 74 to be quite good buses, it is even cooler to take it than a lance today as it is so darn cold. -
Sv. 92A is mainly NAC also.Originally posted by xin1jun2:nope. 74 has Vo2x left from AYBP only. maybe about only 7 buses. very little. i would say 30 percent.
