Btw, why is service 24 so tua pai? Got 2 berths in AMK Int... 24 and 24A... and also the direction plate of 24A got the route details but other shortworking trips don't have... Why?
-
If u noticed properly the 4 destinations on the desto of 24 is the same as 24A. Its only the destination on the top of the desto that is differentOriginally posted by freakybuses:Btw, why is service 24 so tua pai?

Yah and there is also (or maybe used to be) another one nearer to Nicoll Highway slip road from Stadium Road.Originally posted by thots:the one behind kallang kfc? -
The only reason I can think is that many commuters take 24 beyond Tanah Merah during 24A's operational hours and therefore dual queues are used for smoother people boarding traffic.Originally posted by freakybuses:Btw, why is service 24 so tua pai? Got 2 berths in AMK Int... 24 and 24A... -
Possibly because more pax take Sv. 24A during off peak hours compared to Sv. 24Originally posted by freakybuses:Btw, why is service 24 so tua pai? Got 2 berths in AMK Int... 24 and 24A... and also the direction plate of 24A got the route details but other shortworking trips don't have... Why? -
An update:
I visited the "Cavenagh Road" car park that SBS9818A mentioned. Yes, there is such a building there, but I have yet to find it any reference to it being used as a bus terminal.
I just found out that, in 1972, service 45 used Kallang Park (currently known as Stadium Boulevard) as a terminal. So that should be the terminal building behind KFC. As for the terminal building at Stadium Road, near slip road to Nicoll Highway, I have no idea yet. -
the freq of svc 24 and 24A together used to be 1 min/bus... but less O405s are deployed on 24A.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Possibly because more pax take Sv. 24A during off peak hours compared to Sv. 24 -
Lately for every two Sv. 24 buses one Sv. 24A comes, or something like that, correct?Originally posted by freakybuses:the freq of svc 24 and 24A together used to be 1 min/bus... but less O405s are deployed on 24A. -
last time used to be 1 24 and 1 24A about 1-2 mins apart. now about 2-3 24s before 1 24A is deployed. don't know about peak hour deployments though.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Lately for every two Sv. 24 buses one Sv. 24A comes, or something like that, correct? -
if i'm not wrong its 2 24 and 1 24A in the morning peak. or they alternate each other. should be the latter..Originally posted by gynobcard:last time used to be 1 24 and 1 24A about 1-2 mins apart. now about 2-3 24s before 1 24A is deployed. don't know about peak hour deployments though.
Freq at Bedok MRT is 3-5min per bus. -
Do you remember the special services which went to National Stadium, when there was a major event, in the 80s/90s? Let's refresh our memories a bit.Originally posted by Yusry:An update:

Service A - Ang Mo Kio
Service B - Toa Payoh
Service C - Buona Vista
TIBS service NS1 - Woodlands (via Yishun)
This was where buses stop.
A, B and C was discontinued after 1990. NS1 remained until 1995. -
Aahhhhhh...... no wonder!

Any idea which authority is incharge of bus stops ? Need to highlight that the bus stop 4 at Serangoon MRT station is covered by running water whenver it rains.
Its slippery and pose a risk to old people.

No difference. Suhirman probably quoted from a later edition of the bus guide.Originally posted by freakybuses:I thought svc C went from C'wealth Ave? -

C'wealth Ave and BV Ter are actually next to each other so not much difference.Originally posted by freakybuses:I thought svc C went from C'wealth Ave? -
I thought C'wealth Ave Ter was nearer to C'wealth MRT Stn where 195 looped?Originally posted by SBS9818A:C'wealth Ave and BV Ter are actually next to each other so not much difference. -
Wasn't it at the bus stop outside Holland V?Originally posted by freakybuses:I thought C'wealth Ave Ter was nearer to C'wealth MRT Stn where 195 looped? -
That is Commonwealth DRIVE.Originally posted by freakybuses:I thought C'wealth Ave Ter was nearer to C'wealth MRT Stn where 195 looped? -
Then did svc 195 ever terminated in C'wealth Ave Ter? The route of 195 is quite wierd... operating from a terminal without boarding and alighting activities... so I inferred that it once terminated somewhere also right?Originally posted by Yusry:That is Commonwealth DRIVE. -
I do not think 195 ever terminated at Commonwealth Avenue Terminal.Originally posted by freakybuses:Then did svc 195 ever terminated in C'wealth Ave Ter?

There was once a roadside terminal at Commonwealth Drive.
Before it's withdrawal, service 90 last operated from Commonwealth Drive terminal and looped at Paya Lebar Airport.
Before this amendment, service 90 started from Commonwealth Avenue terminal. -
Sv. 2 also what. Both ends cannot board.Originally posted by freakybuses:Then did svc 195 ever terminated in C'wealth Ave Ter? The route of 195 is quite wierd... operating from a terminal without boarding and alighting activities... so I inferred that it once terminated somewhere also right?
