Another error spotted:
Eunos MRT Stn- Bus stop 2 doesnt have 854 -
ermm so which is the latest version?
I saw one more guide besides the mighty minds and transitlink one.. i think it's by mighty minds too, but it's like, they list the roads and the services going to those roads instead of listing by the bus services... and it comes with a street directory in the book too. -
another error: fare stage at YCK Ter for svc 162 reads 50 instead of twenty something. been there for eons.

Refer to service 401 in the guide, doesn't it operate on Saturdays too?

Noted that already under my first errors post on page 1Originally posted by tranquilice:Refer to service 401 in the guide, doesn't it operate on Saturdays too? -
Heck, to all those who STILL think the Transitlink guide is better than the mighty minds in terms of reliability. Those errors posted earlier are a lot, but there are more if you look even more closely.
Under the Road listing,
-Siglap Link 36,401 ( it was gone long b4 the cut-off date!! )
-Sg Road ..... ( fair enough, the long form is sungei, but if i am a tourist i would be puzzling over it , though the abb is listed at the front, but this is too much, and sungei is only 4 letters more )
-Waterloo St -- ( why put there in the first place? )
Under Interchange listing,
Hougang Interchange 101 ( it does not terminate there )
The other big load of probs occur at the map pages -
-Hougang ( my favourite !!!!
) 24 terminates at the interchange , 101 does not pass by in front of Hougang Central Interchange
-Serangoon -- Some nuclear bomb had taken out Serangoon Interchange
-Yishun -- Svc 806 calls at both bus stops along Ave 2 before turning into the interchange. It does NOT call outside Northpoint !!! ( how i wish it does when it rains )
-Expo -- Svc 38 is missing from the bus stops opposite singapore expo. Seems that SBST is fiddling with the feeder-trunks again.
-Newton --Svc 700 and 700A is missing from the bus stops along Bt Timah Rd. Perhaps TIBS wants to provide a quicker express ride?
Also, many of the arrows that indicate the entrances are placed in a haywire manner. TSLink should also include disabled entrances for each station.
Well, im sure that there may be more mistakes if we look very closely enough.....they said they fixed the price at $1.50 to serve the commuters better, but it is NO excuse that commuters get a shoddy piece of work. Those pple are paid with government $, and i believe that it is their own responsibility to check their work before submitting for printing, and having over 30 mistakes is hardly considered as careless, its more on the point of cunt care- less. -
Serangoon Int is a considerable distance from Serangoon MRT. I'd rather take Sv. 147 for two stops than walk. So I'm not suprised it isn't included. I'm more inclined to believe official publications than some fly-by-night kiddy book company.Originally posted by TIB1186Z:Heck, to all those who STILL think the Transitlink guide is better than the mighty minds in terms of reliability.

LOL, it isnt that long, just needs a short walk...Originally posted by SBS9818A:Serangoon Int is a considerable distance from Serangoon MRT. I'd rather take Sv. 147 for two stops than walk.

You mean 162 or 162#?Originally posted by gynobcard:another error: fare stage at YCK Ter for svc 162 reads 50 instead of twenty something. been there for eons. -
You're young and energetic, spare a thought for tired adults and the elderly!Originally posted by leeJZ:LOL, it isnt that long, just needs a short walk... -
Talking about which, has anyone here lodge a complain to Transitlink? Or have anyone here come across a member of the public who brought the matter to the forums in local newspapers?
Cheers and warm regards -
When it got dozens of errors?Originally posted by SBS9818A:Serangoon Int is a considerable distance from Serangoon MRT. I'd rather take Sv. 147 for two stops than walk. So I'm not suprised it isn't included. I'm more inclined to believe official publications than some fly-by-night kiddy book company. I do belief in official publications in providing a reliable source of information, and i use whichever version that is more accurate. It is only level one to judge by the predicate, and i DO belive that whoever ur SS teacher would had taught you that, at least Danny Tan did for me. Content is worth level 3 BTW
And, if you take a close look at the map, the Park and Ride carpark is actually indicated, and if im not wrong, the Park and Ride carpark is directly ABOVE the bus interchange. Or the far in ur case is that its 100m underground? Of course lah, you deserve to flunk ur NAPHA test with that result. Its only less than 100m!!!! -
162 direction 2.Originally posted by freakybuses:You mean 162 or 162#?
also:
service 170 red plate dirn 1 reads FS 30 at Larkin instead of 38 pg 222 103W weekday/saturday timings missing pg 98: svc 378, 379, 820, 821 along Jln kayu?? pg 100: svc 125 missing along Kitchener Rd with regards to Pg Temp int, it shld be situated along Punggol Place by right. svc 62 states that Pg temp int is along Pg Place, but 3, 83, 84 and 136 claim that it's along Punggol Rd Pg 105: svc 27 @ Sengkang Square?? Pg 109: svc 65M at Ubi Ave 1?? pg 110: svc 321, 327 and 328 along Upp S'goon Rd?? pg 114: svcs 82, 103, 103W missing from S'goon Int; 107/X missing at Hg Ctrl int -
Well we could compile a list of all the errors and then send it to Transitlink as a complaint. If possible, demand a refund too.

So which is a better buy, transitlink or mighty minds?
