Digging this outOriginally posted by loudmonkey:think before that 147 operated from JE to Potong Pasir, and it used to operate via Victoria St and Lavender St instead. In Potong Pasir 147 used the white and green plates. Remembered Chaim See Tong was quite vocal when SBS decided to rob 147 from his constitiency, leaving only 142 to service Potong Pasir.
He will always be vocal. SBS did right, PTP needs just 1 sv, look at the demand of 142 -
Demand of Sv. 142 is quite high during peak hours, mind you.Originally posted by sbst275:Digging this out

You're wrong. I'm talking about TPY - Potong Pasir.Originally posted by sbst275:If I'm not wrong, what you are talking abt is bet Potong Pasir MRT and Potong Pasir Est right? That stretch, demand is high. -
The highest is still where I talked abt, yes the entire stretch demand is highOriginally posted by SBS9818A:You're wrong. I'm talking about TPY - Potong Pasir.
However, frequency during off peak is very bad nowadays as it has lost quite an amt of revenue. -

Off Peak: St Andrew Junior and Sec moved out to Kallang Bahru and Ah Hood Road (Pri). So, lesser people on bus. Frequency is now 10-13 minOriginally posted by gynobcard:with the aid of illustrated examples, justify your answer [10 marks].
