Transitlink Bus Guide 2004
-
SV 101 stated as Hougang Int instead of Sgoon
-
Transitlink bus guides are published in the earlier beginning of the year. So, 2 years is the gap between the last transitlink bus guide produced(Early 2002) and this year's transitlink bus guide(Early 2004)Originally posted by MooKu:But I still think bus guides should be checked to ensure it is as accurate as possible...
I got extremely cheesed off once when I took a wrong bus and ended up at some other interchange instead of the intended one and I was so late for my lessons. 
2 years of not doing a bus guide? You mean this time it's by er uh ex-SBS-dunno-what-Transit-it's-called-now-sorry, and the past 2 years by Mighty Minds?
Transitlink did not publis and bus guide in 2003 due to the NEL network rationalisation.Mighty Minds produced quite a number of versions last year.
Anyway, how can you take a wrong bus to your school when you go there everyday???

The online guide indicates it as PAC.Originally posted by off_service:Another puzzling thing.
All the Ang Mo Kio feeders and Townlink services are fully aircon except for service 262 which is still a PAC?

I went for them from a different location that day, so I actually went to check up which buses I could take! In the end I was brought to a different location... and then I had to take a cab.
2 years ah?!
Can't they like, you know, update the bus routes in a computerized-system whenever routes are changed? In that way it'll be more up-to-date no....? -

Their e-guides are up to date but their book guides are not.They can't possibly be producing new guides everytime a service is amended or made...Originally posted by MooKu:No lar, piano lessons mah.

but yet i remembered there was a notice about 262 going FAC some years ago... 2001 or 2002...Originally posted by tranquilice:The online guide indicates it as PAC. -

No lar of course not have a new version of the bus guide whenever changes are implemented... I was hoping that at least say, Year 2004's bus guide could include changes up till e.g. November 2003... As updated as possible... you know.

Cut off date is 15th February 2004 while the book says 31st January 2004.Originally posted by MooKu: I didn't know they had e-guides!!

Note that there's no service change in the month of march. Svc 37 operating hours are as before the change. -
That should be no cause for errors in Sv. 111, Sv. 28 and Sv. 29! They were AMENDED WELL BEFORE 31th Jan!Originally posted by service_238:Cut off date is 15th February 2004 while the book says 31st January 2004.

i contacted transitlink in the past on such errors but they always say that the cut-off date was xxx months ago, but cant blame them cos such things need time to publishOriginally posted by SBS9818A:That should be no cause for errors in Sv. 111, Sv. 28 and Sv. 29!

Esp. services 28 and 29 which were amended in March 2003!Originally posted by SBS9818A:That should be no cause for errors in Sv. 111, Sv. 28 and Sv. 29! They were AMENDED WELL BEFORE 31th Jan! -
I'm positive 10 months is MORE than enough time to update errors.Originally posted by tranquilice:Esp. services 28 and 29 which were amended in March 2003! -
C'mon guys, don't get angry with them. They are jus human beings..they learn from mistakes. Also, you expext them too notice all these mistakes? They probably don't even take the bus to work or anywhere else.

Another error spotted by me...
pg 189 bus 72 direction 2. "Hougang Ave 4" should be printed between Blk 836 and Blk 602 instead of between Bef Nativity Ch Ctr and Naung Ct. -
If I'm not wrong that stretch of HG Ave 4 was removed when Sv. 72 was amended to ply by HG Central?Originally posted by foxtrot1985:Another error spotted by me...

In Short, the text 'Hougang Ave 4' was placed wrongly.Originally posted by foxtrot1985:Another error spotted by me...

Interestingly enough the pair of bus stops are of the NEW type!Originally posted by gynobcard:yup 72 bypasses that stretch of Ave 4 now to turn into hougang central. those 2 bus stops are abandoned now -
I saw air con buses on service 275 yesterday, which means this service is either PAC or FAC and not NAC as stated.

Another error, the Townlink word is missing for Sv. 222
-
Very true... but somehow, the bus no longer feels "Townlinkish" for me.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Another error, the Townlink word is missing for Sv. 222 -
Well, it's still a townlink service under SBST definition.Originally posted by Yusry:Very true... but somehow, the bus no longer feels "Townlinkish" for me.
