Anybody here taken these svs previously(SBST) and currently(TNC)?Can shared some experiences about it?

Wondering if there is a website of the freaky bus company. Want to know about bus service in that company.

TNC doesn't have a website, it is rumoured to be operating a sole B57!

For the TNC now...
Basically 714 prowls from Jurong East Interchange(JEI) to the Jurong Island(JI) checkpoint where commuters alight and change to 715 or 716 to get to Seraya or Sakra respectively... and it will be the other way round when out of JI meaning one takes either 715 or 716 from Seraya or Sakra to the checkpoint and change to 714 back out to JEI.
However, sometimes, 715 and 716 does go to JEI straight from JI. Don't know why. They have a schedule for the time when their buses will pass by the busstops.
I only took this transport once and it is not a good experience.
I took 716 from Sakra. It came late. Then, upon reaching the checkpoint, the 714 waiting at the checkpoint just leaves despite the driver on 716 keep horning him. So waited for around another 30 mins at the checkpoint for 714. It took me almost 1 1/2 hour to get out of Sakra. Normally on my company bus I only need 30 mins.
I am not sure about the model of the buses, but the were all freaking old.
For the previous SBST services,
All services, 714, 715 and 716 starts from JEI and brings you to the respective islands namely, Seraya, Ayer Merbau, and Sakra.
During off-peak hours, only 1 bus operates and it covers all the routes of the 3 services. Not sure during the peak hours as I did not have the chance to take it during peak hours.
Maybe people who worked in JI for a longer period of time can be of better help.
