Transit Link 2004 Bus Guide
- Price $1.50
- Available at MRT stations

- Not all bus services covered (eg buses between Jurong Island and Jurong Interchange)
- Free Shuttle services not covered
- Bus stop descriptions outdated

Previously bus guides @ $1 comes with a Singapore map too. One side depicts Singapore map, and the other side depicts maps of several HDB new towns (eg Tampines, AMK, Bedok, Bukit Merah...). The map identified bus stops on the roads on the map too.
I would buy a transitlink guide and I won't buy the mightyminds guide.
Why buy a mightyminds guide when you can obtained more information from respective bus guides?
Anyone has bus routes information (bus fares, bus route, bus operating times) of those private bus services (eg 625)??? -

The transit link one may have more information but what's the use of a guide thats full of errors -
The mighty minds guide is better, but I prefer to use Transitlink guide which seems to many an official guide.

In my opinion official publications are more trustworthy.

For me, I bought the Mighty Minds bus guide for the street map. Where can you get a street map for $3.90?
I have both, though. As well as a thick collection of service guides, that, if bound together, would make a wonderful bus guide.

Thanx a lot...Is there any other places besides Tibs Shop???Originally posted by delonchew:Think I spotted bus guides you want at the TIBS shop at Yishun Bus Interchange. Maybe you can try there? -
I think they are only for displays and not for sale.Originally posted by delonchew:Think I spotted bus guides you want at the TIBS shop at Yishun Bus Interchange. Maybe you can try there? -
Also, Transitlink guide does NOT even include the bus stop numbers as LTA is the one who implemented them! How's that for an official publication when the govt. does not even want to promote the use of the bus stop numbers to aid identification. It does help a lot, esp when travelling to a ulu place and the description is given as LP113.Originally posted by tranquilice:Transitlink guide only covers public bus services, Jurong island bus services are now run by private operators.
Also, it is NOT true for this edition that official publication is more reliable. There are lots of errors in it which is not pardonable, since the changes are initiated by PTC, and is supposed to be an authority on these route details..
As for the frequency, i heck care as it is very rarely true most of the time for many svcs. -

2) The free map thing just came out a few weeks before Transitlink guides came out. Guess they came out with it as the guides were not selling well... -
